Hi, I believe my door bell transformer has broken, according to my electrician. I went to buy a new one and see they do 1 amp but also 0.5 amp. Is it correct to think it is the 1 amp I need? Any recommendations are welcome. Thanks, Darren

Hi, I need to move my shaver socket in the bathroom about 50cm to the right. I intend to attach some extra cable via an insulating block in the existing shaver socket box and run the cable to the new box. I am a bit confused as to what type of cable that I should use? It look as if Screwfix...
