Bet them Henley blocks are not sealed, wouldn't need to cut meter seals

Joe public can go on eBay now and buy as many seals and a nice pair of crimps to go with them For less than a fiver, bottom seal though where the terminals and bottom fixing screws are has been cut by the looks of it.

That's no original supply you have there, and unless your house is not on the national grid I don't think they would leave it 100yrs before replacing the supplies. There's a join somewhere, be very carful uncovering this cable as over time with this load on it in parts I would not be surprised...

This sort of DIY ignorance to wiring really pee's me off, who ever has done this was properly pleased as punch with his efforts. "Look darling I told you I could move all that unsightly meter to the cupboard no problem" trouble is it works for a while or maybe for years and they honestly think...

Agree meter would normally be at the incoming position, but that lot looks like a weekend DIY job. Get a local sparks in asap because that set up looks worrying

Bloody predictive text, in twin and earth, not and twin and earth

Sorry thats in twin and earth, and twin and earth

Hi looking at your set up I would suggest that your mains actually enters the house at some other point and someone has run a sub-main to this location. The electricity board would not run a main supply and twin and earth. Do you now if your house is feed from the street under ground or if your...

Best guess copper prices and your main fuse may only be 60a but unlikely with the age of your house

THIS IS DOG CRAP WHAT THEY HAVE DONE HERE, THAT CAPPING WILL STOP NOTHING. THE FACT IT IS NAILED TO THE WALL SHOWS HOW EASY A NAIL WILL GO THROUGH IT. BUT YOU SAID THEY CHASED IT BACK 35mm I GUESS BY THE TIME YOU ADD THE PLASTER BOARD THE DEPTH WILL BE AROUND 50mm WHICH CRAP AS IT IS, WOULD SEEM...

Totally agree with mr holmes on this one, if your determined to do it yourself and with your other worrying issues why don't you get a registered sparks in to do a periodic test and inspection, this way you'll get your work checked and a thorough inspection on the rest.

Oh and I would recommend a 47mm back box for your 45a switch as you'll be pushing like mad to get that screwed back with a couple of 10mm cables in there.

Yeah don't forget to use grommets in the boxes and sleeve those earths classic DIY give aways

Simplified- fuse board to 45 dp switch above work top -out of 45a dp switch to cooker outlet in 6mm or 10mm -out of this to oven and hob Single ovens normally have a flex cable already fitted is this not the case with yours?

Just one other thing don't know how clued up u are and assuming you've never fitted an rcbo before and to save you asking more questions later, when you get it, it will have a blue cable hanging out of it and a thin White cable, the blue one will go into the neural bar of the fuse board and the...

Had a quick search on screwfix for you put this number into the search bar on there site 88516 that's the cooker terminal ( cooker connection unit) basically a posh choc block, fit two single boxes chased into the wall fit this on one for the hob and sick the fused spur on the other. Job done

Generally anything you plug into and use outside the home shold be rcd protected, now everything has to be rcd protected but as your installation is older if you were to use just a 45a dp switch with no socket I wouldn't worry too much but if you are going to use your ccu with the socket on I...

Is your ccu above the work top? You wouldn't really want the plug coming up through your work top ideally. And the big red switch would on kill the hob if u used the socket on the ccu. The way I described would be best really and neater, I would suggest though thinking about as I encouter this...

Ps my dad is over in shiply I see your in the Bradford area I bought him some electrical tools for Christmas as he's always phoning up about jobs he should not be attempting if you need a screwdriver
