Seco services: It's not an electric shower, there's the mixer with a chrome pipe coming off the top of it to the shower head and there's another shower head that you can move around, I'm afraid I can't give you a better answer than that. First time I've got involved in anything like this...

Won't the mixer just attach to the wall I have already ? A stud wall won't look right, I don't mind chiseling deep into the brickwork to make space for the pipes. How would the pipes be fixed to the wall ? Pipe clips ?

Did I mean false wall ? He wants to use battens to bring the wall in, thus creating space to hide the pipes.

I'm having a new bathroom and my girlfriends step-dad is helping me fit it all. He wants to build a stud wall to hide the hot and cold feeds for the mixer unit but I'd rather have those pipes in the existing brick wall to avoid the need for the stud wall. He says it can't be done because when...

Ban all sheds, yes that's what I meant. The new socket I installed is on the other side of a wall that's carrying an existing socket, right behind it so to speak. It's embarrassing but I'm being pushed for an answer so I'll answer it; The fuse blew because the new cable was still halfway...

RJM: I had only disconnected the 30A fuse as that was the circuit I was installing the new socket onto, all other circuits were live. after pushing the fuse back into the fuse board and turning the power back on, the 30A fuse blew because the cable supplying the new socket wasn't correctly...

Another slightly separate question, I have a security light which is being powered by the previously mentioned 15A circuit via a fuse spur off the socket that the 15A circuit goes to. Is this correct ? Or should the security light be on a lower powered circuit (lighting circuit) ?

I'll check out both fuses and the terminals connecting them. Why would someone do that ? And what are the potential dangers ?

What do you mean about having two lives connected to the 30A fuse ? That fuse supplies the whole power circuit ? It blew because the new socket I installed wasn't connected properly when I turned the power back on. Thanks for the reply.

I was installing a new socket today and during this process I managed to blow the 30amp fuse for the circuit I was working on (no I wasn't working live, it blew when I turned the power back on). I changed the fuse wire and all was fine. But later on, I noticed a socket was dead that was...

I've asked him to remove a couple of sockets that are currently mounted on skirting board then move some new ones up onto the wall just above the old locations. I've also asked him to fit 2 new lights and provide an earth connection to my gas supply. He's recommended installing a new cooker...

I want some electrical work doing at my house, but my electrician says he can't do anything unless he changes my old Wylex fuse board for a new Consumer Unit, he can't sign the work off as safe when he would know at the time of completing the work that my Fuse Board is well out of date. Is it...
