:D Absolutely domestic EFL !!! Thanks for quick reply

Hi all can anyone confirm whether plastic sockets and back boxes are allowed to be used in a garage, or are only the metal (far more expensive) type allowed please for a 5 x double socket ring main ? The sockets will be for an under counter small freezer , a washing machine and a tumble dryer...

I forgot to ask Lucid…..I assume I can use AV1 scart and hook it up to a TV so I can see what’s playing, yes ?

Thanks for confirming Lucid I’ll give it a twirl ! (y)

hi Swwils can you confirm if your outside socket is unswitched please ? I’m curious because I am following the advice kindly shared by flameport, but I’m struggling to find a replacement BG unswitched switch, to replace the switched one that came with the original socket TIA

Hi again flameport....apologies for the delay and yet more questions As advised, i purchased an unswitched BG socket to swap into the housing, but as you can see from the pictures, the profile is significantly different and doesn't sit flush inside The switch that came with the outside socket...

I really didn’t want any cables on show but I’m out of options now TIA

Sorry for yet another question….. where sockets are in plasterboard stud wall and approx 6 inches above the skirting board, does/should the cable be in any sort of trunking, or is it ok to just poke up through the horizontal cardboard ?

flameport : thanks for advice, i'll be sure to check beforehand 2 further questions (apologies) Q1 : Can you confirm if 25mm x 16mm trunking is suitable for running a single 2.5mm t&e please ? from what i can see its perfectly find as there is a percentage of "free space" required in trunking...

I’ve had a flick through the above mentioned thread randomgrinch Seemed to get rather heated at times didn’t it ! Upshot is that will split them and put in their own trunking Ive got some 30mm D profile which aesthetically looks ok and seems that that is the minimum size that can be used for a...

thanks for the reply Grinch i'll take a look at the thread shared likely before bedtime as i'm guessing it will put me to sleep so will save on the Ovaltine ;) regarding trunking, yes i could i suppose have an addition piece of trunking alongside but it'll look a mess appreciate that you are...

Hi all...can anyone advise here please.... I need an outdoor electrical socket on the front of my house The easiest way way to achieve, is a new dedicated feed from the consumer unit to the socket, but this would mean from floor to ceiling (2.4m), the 2.5mm T&E cable and a telephone cable...

thanks JohnD if my dad is correct in that when he closes the stop tap but the water doesn't shut off, what is that a sign of exactly ? is it just a rubber washer that has likely perished or summat else ? yes there is a stop cock at the end of his drive where we will isolate first (y)

thanks Exedon....my use and mention of iron work was just a lazy attempt at referring to the metal work

Denso exedon, thanks for replies I was assuming that the lower connection would be disturbed hence assuming that I’ll end up replacing the lot and also, just personally, I’ve never been a fan of a large iron work onto plastic/alkathene

Happy new year all ! So my dad has just tried to turn the cold water off using the stop cock in his house to change a tap washer (no isolation valves) but evidently its not having the desired effect and the stop cock has now started to drip a little. I'm not surprised consider the stop cock is...

Just one further point of clarification flameport if i may You mentioned early on in the thread : Would it be acceptable for me to lay the cable and do the donkey work and capture video evidence for his review (photos under the floor) and then he simply does the work on the cable work at the...
