Thanks for the reply flameport... Regarding the electric fire, from what rating would it need its own circuit? The wine fridge is not that small... i.e. it's the size of a normal undercounter fridge to take up to 40 bottles. I'll find out what's the model of the boiler and will let you...

Hi everyone, I’m thinking of making some changes on my living room and need some tips on 4 things: 1- I was thinking of moving my electric storage heater. Can I simply put it next to another normal socket in the room or will it need a specific socket that has its own fuseway? 2- Also, I...

Hi there everyone! Just joined the community... more by need than by pleasure of dim! :roll: I've recently moved and because the money is short I've ended up deciding to do all the fittings/refurbishments myself. The problem is that I wasn't expecting the electrics to be so different...
