:roll: Is it ok to lay laminate underlay fibre boards over carpet first then put laminate ontop. I would have thought this would provide extra insulation, both noice and heat, along with providing the floating aspect needed for the laminate :?: ____________________________ moderator...

And all this anarchy ensued because I couldn't figure out how to wire up my conservatory. Made by Anglian, assembled by Anglian manufactured in Sheffield! :lol:

Well have finally got round to putting in MCB's. All seems well :o except; Conservatory lighting has tripped the 6Amp MCB three times in the first week, but only when they are switched off, haven't tripped again since, 2 weeks later, I'm baffled. The lights in the conservatory are...

Cheers FWL, now I not only have to worry about the spaghetti of incorrect wiring lurking below the surface safety of my platered walls. Connecting my £1500 cooker to a 13 amp spur but you now make me aware that the 'competent well recommended' electricians which I got to do the work have me...

Ban, I know you said, is this one not a Type B suitable for my CU. Found it here http://www.3kw.co.uk/mcb.html BTW Thanks for the help in posting pictures Breezer. Yet to look at the CU to clarify FWL's remarks in previous posting. Cheers

May I start by saying thanks for the help so far guys. The fog of electrical wizardry is SLOWLY being lifted from my eyes by this discussion far more quickly than I could have hoped for. Yes, I know it might seem like your talking to a brick wall but yes I did realise I'd made a mistake by...

As you have probably guesed I am no electrician, or anywhere close! And I am very new to this Forum, but I must say how grateful I am for the help so far. Reading some posts has already enlightened me greatly. I intend to install the circuits for both downstairs, upstairs, conservatory, and...

I have had extensive home improvement work carried out and I need to add some MCB's to my Wylex NHRs6604 unit. I have installed a ring main into a conservatory (2.5mm2) a lighting supply and a single 2.5mm2 cable connected to aarmoured cable to supply the garden shed with power. I know...
