Yep OK thanks, so straight up from the existing power socket with RCD, with one light on that line of existing wiring above the socket and at that light/point go horizontal across to the other light. These wires to be in buried steel trunking under plaster. Is that correct.

OK thanks for that, I was thinking about first fix under the plaster for starters to plan the locations. Guess I will have to get an electrician to do it, there is a radiator on that wall and I was wondering about feeding one wire along above the skirting before taking both wires up. I was...

I want to put a couple of wall lights in the kitchen on one wall. It's a plain wall between 2 doors, the wall is T & G boarded and I want to take off the boards and plaster, there is a ring main socket on the wall with one socket, can I connect into that.

So I think that is a yes then.

I am changing our shower and have installed an aquilisa quartz. The supply pipes are already earthed but now they go into plastic fittings on the pump unit in the loft and just one pipe comes out and down to the shower. Should this piece be linked to the existing earthed pipe?

Thanks all for your input. Two false alarms for no apparent reason is too many for me and the neighbours, I will investigate as suggested. Many thanks

Had a Secom hard wired system with integral keypad for 17 years with no false alarms, 2 years ago decided to have a new panel installed with dialer and we have had 2 false alarms since, one when we were on holiday which put relatives in a panic. The new system is a Scantronic 9651 hard wired...

thanks :D

Yes thats what I want to install a shaver/toothbrush socket in zone 3. Do I need to wire that through an RCD or can it come straight from the light ring.

I have installed a IPX4 fan with humidistat at the top of zone one near the ceiling with a pull switch by the door and a 30ma RCD outside the bathroom. Do I need a 2 pole switch as well or will the buttons on the RCD be enough to isolate it. Also I want to put a 2 pin socket in zone 3, can...

Thanks for the fan info I have installed a IPX4 with humidistat pull switch and 30ma trip. Do I need a 2 pole switch as well or will the buttons on the RCD be enough to isolate it. Also I want to put a 2 pin socket in there. can someone tell me the requirement for that. I understand if I...

OK thanks but will a 240 v fan be better than a 12 volt one.

Can anyone tell me which is best 12v or 240v extractor fans in the bathroom. Zone 1 IpX 4 or 12 v. I beleive Ipx4 is zone 1 rated. Which one will be the best and quietest for the job.

OK thanks Chris just the job but just one question, the info shows there must be 750mm between an offset and a junction. Can the offset be 2 right angle radius bends or does it need to be 45 degrees.

I have an issue with our next door neighbour, where plans have been submitted to our local council which involves building a gable end of 2 storeys within 2 metres of my property which will effect the natural light to 3 of my windows. I have read of the 45 degree rule which this does not comply...

Are they free online. I can't find a website do you have one.

I want to put a soil pipe into an existing downstairs loo. The toilet at present just goes straight down and out into the outside drain, so because I want to put a loo up stairs directly above I thought I could move the toilet over 18 inches and build an internal stack up the corner with a...

Hi Chris OK I am not sure the way it works. i just thought it was similar and could fit in with the existing thread. i will start a new one.
