    High Integrety CU - Internal cabling

    What a strange question - because you didn't know about them. I obviously do not know the answer regarding most people - but - I have had them for a very long time. It seems similar to your view on DIYers not testing their work but that doesn't alter what should be done.

    What size cable from solar panels / battery to immersion?

    Without going into great detail about cable ratings and installation methods, just get 2.5mm² twin and earth for the fixed wiring and 2.5mm² heat resistant flex to the actual element. The DIY places sell immersion flexible cable.

    Sparky forgot the wiring for the cooker hood. Alternative methods?

    No, no problem doing that.

    Upstairs/downstairs switch issue

    Ok. There must be connections somewhere else - possibly at the light or in a junction box. So it could be a loose connection somewhere or just a faulty switch.

    Sparky forgot the wiring for the cooker hood. Alternative methods?

    Not really - it means you can feed through holes as I suggested and/or a short channel across any dots (or is it dabs?) in the way. So it doesn't matter if the plasterboard has holes in it.

    Upstairs/downstairs switch issue

    Downstairs - do the red,blue and yellow of the upstairs switch all come from the same cable and do the red and black of downstairs switch come from the other cable?

    Sparky forgot the wiring for the cooker hood. Alternative methods?

    How is the plasterboard fitted? Battens or dot'n'dab? You can usually get away with just a few holes in the plasterboard, rather than a channel, and feed the cable through.

    Four electrical jobs in a kitchen - am I right?

    Ok, but it is not really. It could signify inexperience or a lack of understanding. For example, if any of them install as one of the circuits a 32A, 4mm² OR 6mm² cable circuit for the hob then the two ovens could without question also be supplied from this circuit - and be future-proof. If...

    Four electrical jobs in a kitchen - am I right?

    Just trying to ensure the OP is not going to be ripped off. I find it rather odd that all three are advocating exactly the same three circuit solution. Do you not find it strange?

    Fair enough.

    Four electrical jobs in a kitchen - am I right?

    When you say cooker cable, do you mean the bit just from the wall to cooker? If not and you mean the cable from CU to kitchen, are you sure it is 4mm²? That's very unusual; is it relatively new? Still technically alright if not routed through any thermal insulation.

    Why don't they......

    Yes, 17.897 kWh. That was my initial query with Eric writing that Watt hour had nothing to do with time.

    Why don't they......

    Ah! My mistake. Thank you for putting me right. (y):)

    Four electrical jobs in a kitchen - am I right?

    What do you have at the moment? If you have a standard 30A or 32A, 6mm² cable 'cooker' circuit, that will be adequate for any domestic cooking appliances you are likely to have now or in the future.
