Ah, ok - that is what I meant. Sorry for the confusion. So then what I have suggested is ok? I have a similar setup with the wardrobes in my bedroom - which I am also looking to wire in some lights, so thanks for explaining how you have it working. I'll be using a junction box for...

Thanks for clearing that up lol. How is it meant to be wired up then (I though I had it sussed!)? I noticed on another thread you mentioning you have this very setup at home. Thanks in advance

Ok, so after some further reading here is how I propose to wire things up: [code:1] - Mains 3-core cable from consumer unit to the FCU - 3-core cable (0.75mm) from FCU to a terminal block --- Live core to 'Loop' terminal on the block --- Neutral core to Neutral terminal on the...

Thanks for the reference material - I'll give them a thorough read through

I don't know... that is why I am asking for advice on here :)

Thanks for the link, I'll take a read through. I must say, this is a lot more effort than I originally anticipated lol. I am glad I posted my question! :)

Would capping the unused neutral wires work ok?

Thanks for the comments BAS. I have been reading up on this subject and I was under the impression that everything accepted the earth, neutral and live wires. Given that I am not an electrician by trade and do not find myself often needing to do DIY electrical work I had not come across...

When you say surface mounted switch, do you just mean a switch that is screwed directly to the frame and connects the circuit when the door is opened? Could you provide me with a link to an image of the type of switch that would be most suitable? Thanks :)

Don't worry - I fixed my original post ;)

Thanks for your reply. Sorry for my ignorance, but could you clarify your points. I don't quite follow what you mean by the switches and the neturals (i assumed everything would be wired up and there would not be any 'left-over' wires)

Hi there, I recently changed my existing central heating system to have a combi boiler installed. In doing so we got rid of the hot water cylinder, which has now left us with a nice little cupboard to which I want to install shelving. I also want to install a cupboard light at the top of...

Hi Statia, Apologies, I did not see your message yesterday! Thanks for your input. Currently the boiler seems to be ok (I haven't completely moved into the property yet), but it is very old and even the surveyor recommended that it should be replaced. The main reason I would like to get...

Thanks for your response. Are Baxi reputable, albeit expensive? How about Potterton - they seem to be more reasonable. We are not high consumers of water, but personally I like a 'powerful' shower. Our water pressure, so I was told, was pretty goold (this was from a British Gas guy who...

Hi Tony, Thank you for your reply. I am not sure what exactly that entails, but I am following up with the guy to see what his quote covers. I definately will only have a Gas Safe engineer carry out the work (I have asked for his Gas Safe number). Do you / your company work in London...

Hi there, I recently completed the purchase of my new home and one of the things I want to do is to update the boiler to a new combi-boiler. However, as a complete novice to all of this I have no clue as to what boiler would suit me best. The property is an end of terrace house, split...
