Is it wrong to mix flex and solid wiring in a junction box? I have several outdoor lights that i wouldnt want to connect with T&E as it would become exposed to the elements, and i think just not be as good, but reading around it seems cable types are not to be mixed in a junction box for some...

ok, i think i will probably just give up then. thanks for all your help guys.

A special meter that costs about 500 pounds?

ColJack: OSG i understand to be on site guide? something it would be wise to invest in i take it? rewireable fuse. 49m. i'll have a look at that tomorrow then. I would assume it would be better to actually measure the Ze of the circuit then than trampling allover the house with a tape...

spark1: no need to apologize! i have seen topics on here before where people say they point it out regardless of location for many reasons, and thanks for the help never the less. I will continue my search online.

DCC: No no! don't worry, i did mean to say that the ring main would be split and the new sockets inserted into the ring, hence the need for the connection in the backbox of the socket. I understand that i may not be very clear and i thank you for your contribution, but the idea was indeed...

ColJack: length of the cable? thats even worse! ill have to do some conservative estimating then about the cable route... what exactly is the figure? i hope it's long enough.. spark1: Are these under this Part P regulations thing i keep hearing so much about? I understand these only...

So it turns out my floor area is 110m2 Time for a new plan I think. If i use a spare fuse in my fusebox for a new circuit would i be better with a ring or a radial? The fuse at the moment is rated at 20A but i could swap this out for a replacement? I would be looking at 6 to 8 double...

londonboy: the new sockets in the attic are for my server and networking equipment, and i'll probably get into trouble saying this but i would prefer them not to be rcd protected. The whole reason i'm putting them in is because i'm clearing out and flooring my attic and i have a ridiculous...

ColJack: Ok here is the socket that the spur was taken from. I did not spur from this socket, i added sockets in between the socket spurred from this and a socket spurred from that socket. This is the socket that the new connection will be in so i assumed this is the socket you wanted a...

Hello. I put some extra sockets in my attic this afternoon by extending what i thought was the ring main but what it turns out to be a socket spur from a socket spur. To put this right then i need to take a new wire from the last socket of what is now 5 chained spur sockets :oops: and...

the water main enters at the front of the house, the greenhouse is at the back, it would be atleast 4 times the distance and both routes would require going under concrete path. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Hi there. i'm looking at putting a water supply into my greenhouse from my kitchen. I was thinking it would be simple enough to dig a trench and lay 20mm mdpe, but i'm not sure how to get it inside the house. Underground then up through the floor inside the sink unit would be ideal, under...
