well apparently it dry's towels much better than leaving them on the floor so must be magic :D

Should of rolled a rotten egg in there at least to get the spiders to pack up and leave :D

if you don't know what cables or cable to use then my advice would be to get some local electricians round and ask them to do the calculations for you. then ask if you could run the recommended cable from the consumer unit to the isolators then to the hob and cooker to save them doing the dog...

you would have to take into account diversity, volt drop, load, size of cable where the cable is run and cable protection also the connection at your fuse board. you said rcb's did you mean mcb's or rcd's. if there is no supply at all then it's quite a big job for diy

ok it looks like they are only using the neutral and switched live on the triple cable and not the live. is there only 2 cables going into the connection block as i thought that the shadow of the triple live wire was another neutral lol i was fooled. if you put the live wire from the triple into...

hi it looks like a triple cable is what is confusing you do you have a bathroom fan with a timer? also where did the old light connect into hopefully with switch live and neutral

Just make sure all the power is off before you do anything

I would use 1.5mm T&E and a 20amp 4 terminal junction box Ashley or Crabtree or similar brands. Avoid really cheap junction boxes as they are normally poor quality

What is the objective you have? so you have a 2 gang switch controlling 2 lights are you trying to add a light remove a light add 2 way switching?

so you have a consumer unit for your house, then another consumer unit in your garage attached to your house for garage use which is at the moment only connecting 1 socket and 2 lights is that right? what mcb's are in the garage consumer unit

no 1.5mm or even 1.0mm is fine as long as the cable has proper protection. are you sure the cable your connected into is the garage lights feed only. how many lights does it operate, also when you isolate the power what fuse or mcb do you turn off what is written on it? is there anyone else in...

you don't need to earth the backbox if its plastic just the switch if metal like i mentioned earlier.you dont run a whole length of cable from the switch earth to the light you use the junction box to connect the earth from supply and switch to the light im guessing you were making your...

hi you don't connect a neutral at the switch only live and then switch live but you do connect earth into the switch if not plastic and backbox also. The switch you got im guessing is 1 gang 2 way switch which is fine for your need it can do both 1 way and 2 way switching
