I only checked Screwfix so far, will check Toolstation.

Ah, they look handy. Thank you.

Converted car port to domestic use, it had a single light, switched at a 4 gang just inside previous front door. This new room has a new supply arrangement, and new light switch inside the room, the previous switched supply is obsolete. I'd like a 3 gang 2 way switch to replace the old 4 gang...

Maybe make sure the cable has to go up to reach the back of the fused spur. Just to make sure. Then I could replace the ceiling, because 30yrs of having a washing machine in the room above has completely shafted it..

What do the most recent regs say about washing machines in bathrooms? My (2.5m x 2.1m) ground floor bathroom and 1st floor kitchen need rearranging: obviously, the washing machine really needs to be in the bathroom (below the kitchen). The 2 main trips on the CU are RCD protected. Thank you...

Slight zoning issues: Bath protrudes 10mm under central heating boiler. Original ceilng light was only just outside footprint of bath, in plan. Olde worlde fuse box was far right top corner. Had to block up old doorway to accommodate new bath position (will rotate 90°, behind new blockwork)...

The spark that fitted the CU wrote "Boiler" under the "Ring 1" switch text, so it's a 240v supply. The copper inner of the the red live is 1mm dia. Would it be ok to split this, add another fused spur (like the central heating boiler supply)? Dain

Doh! In a bathroom. Revised. I'll turn of the power and put a vernier on the copper inners.

Can I add another fused spur in a bathroom (for a washing machine) to the existing supply for the central heating boiler? Old colours cable - 51M DELTA ENFIELD BASEC. Thank you, Dain

The 221 are more compact than the 222, much easier to fit in the wagobox.

I have a basic installation box from Screwfix, with a selection of 222 224 773. I'll probably go with the 222.

I have a certain amount of temp. access. I think I'll just use a Wago box so that inspection access need not be provided, and shunt the new light over to a joist that's compliant with zoning regs (over 600 from bath edge). There will also be a permanent bath shower screen so I think it's all...

That opens the options up. Does it make any difference if push fit connectors are used, or do I need to use lever connectors?

2170 ceiling height. I don't have a light in mind yet. Thank you,

When extending cables in the ceiling, with a connector block inside a chocbox, do I have to leave access to this new junction? Thank you Dain

There's either a sink or a bath either side of the bathroom door. Could I put a pull cord switch above the sink? Thank you Dain

A cluster of 3 led lights, it's good because the bathroom gets very little natural light. But it's zonally conflicted in plan, being sited just outside the outer edge of the bath/shower It could do with going between the the next pair of joists but this would require extending the cables...

Rendered and skimmed wall, vinyl paint. What is the vest prep? It doesn't seem like a good surface to tile, maybe a good scoring with el diablo or a plasterers roughing out saw? Maybe bolster the skim off? What's the usual way to proceed? Thank you Dain

Ah, also slightly cheaper at https://www.adafastfix.co.uk/Products/Stainless-Masonry-Screws
