Hello What is the actual requirement? I suspect you have simply run out of circuits? In this case I would recomend replacing the consumer unit with a larger new one, perhaps taking the opportunity to put in something more flexible like a split load unit if not already in place, and if you...

Hmmm.. Ok, but seems a bit extreme ! Perhaps it would help you to grow a thicker skin and try not to take it personally when other people don't share your views, or express themselves in ways which may seem rather silly to you. This is something I have learned over the years. I believe...

Yes, understood - I assumed the previous posting referred to sealing some 'ordinary' boards, not 'Aquapanel'. Would appreciate clarification, since you're right, the Aquapanel boards are a bit costly ! Thanks Again - Merry Christmas. [Edited by cjgarlick on 22-12-2002 at 10:13 AM GMT]

Hi - I'm fitting a new concealed shower mixer which needs a 90 degree wall outlet for the connection to my riser rail & head. However, the wall outlet I have got (Screwfix one) has only a 3/4" threaded tail to go through the wall. By the time I have got 12.5mm plasterboard on there...

Hello group - I'm fairly comfortable with domestic electrical work, but have never installed a 'modern' RCD / MCB consumer unit. I want to rewire the upstairs lighting circuit in my house since it is very old, and I suspect a degree of earth leakage. Also I have no spare circuits on...
