I moved in two years ago, my extension was already in place. I have the plans and building consent documents to prove it. My "neighbour" doesn't actually exist they moved out a month ago it's the landlord who had done the work. He has now added a Combi boiler in the "conservatory" on the wall...

Hi, It gets their from the CU in the house via the RCD which is also in the house, then via a trench down the side of the garden and into the wall behind the garage CU!

Previous owners of the property!!! I've been her just over 2 yrs and only now finding all sorts of issues! Luckily I'm the only person who knows where this box is which is ironically hidden in a cupboard. Will be getting an electrician in but just wanted to know what the simplest/safest method...

My Neighbour has built (I use that term loosely) a conservatory which looks more like an extension, to me its looks a bit too close to my extension? And the plastic roof of theirs is packed with expanding foam which overlaps my tiled roof! See pictures below. Your thoughts. #whatbuildingregs

Hi TTC, The consumer unit in the garage originates from the main consumer unit in the house. I have attached a photo of the CU in the garage. It does have an RCD which is located in the house in a distribution box the RCD is a RS Pro 2Pole Type A, Type C Residual Current Circuit Breaker with...

Hi all, Quick question, I have searched through many threads and topics on here but can't find the answer. I have a large garage at the bottom of my garden which has its own consumer unit. The garage has about 12 double sockets and a lighting circuit. What I need to do is to run power to my...

That's great, many thanks I'll start looking!

Hi I am currently in the process of making a router table for my router but need to fit a separate on off switch that my router plugs into so I can control it from the front of my table..... Been searching the Web but as I don't know what it is called it's a long winded search! Any ideas...

Hi In my dining room I have two ceiling pendants at either ends of the room, both lights are operated by a single light switch! My question is how easy would it be to install a double light switch to allow me to work each light independently of each other. Any advice welcome.

The garage is dry yes, in the process of converting it into a workshop (man space) has it's own power supply and lighting.

When I said that I'm currently considering it....the woman of the house thought it would be a good idea. I had done a similar thing in previous house with an old shed that was falling apart. Finally painted it blue and it looked like a beach hut! I said I would price it up so just working it...

Just realised I posted this in the electrical section.... Will re post in building woodwork!

Hi i'm currently considering cladding my external garage wall with shiplap T&G cladding to improve the look of it as it's looking pretty drab at the bottom of my garden. Was wondering if I should wrap the wall first with something like Tyvek home wrap or similar before fixing the...

Could i spur off from a FCU or should i forget about the spur its just i need to power the washing machine as well asthe boiler or can i get a double FCU?

After crimping and then extending to the spured socket would i need to heatshrink or could i wrap with a good electrical bonding tape...or not necessary!

Thought! ave a few..... Would it be possible to use two junction boxes and then continue both wires to the spur double socket thus maintaining the ring but just extending it a bit to the left. many thanks!

Will need to try and flush fit the junction box into the wall as much as possible which junction box would you recommend..."CHOCKBOX" or not and would i still be able to keep the spur that comes off from this after replacement?

Its no joke...been waiting 3 weeks for a new boiler to be fitted! Old house + No hot water or central heating = Frost bite!!

The pipes enter the boiler from below. The boiler is knackered and so is the reasons for placing a socket below the boiler although think the boiler came second as the house originally had storage heaters and a water tank in the loft. It was built in the 1840's and i think the electrics were...
