That’s really useful. Thank you.

It’s a single storey extension with a flat roof. What was the external wall has now become an internal wall. I’ve attached a photo for reference. Can I pour levelling compound on top of a damp proof membrane?

I’m hoping someone can help or offer advice. We have recently had an extension built on the back of our house (1940s). French doors were removed to open it up to the extension (they used to lead to outside). When the old doors were removed to reveal the cavity, concrete had been used to fill...

Many thanks for this. I will move the cable in that case.

It's the gas pipe to the boiler. Is this a problem? If so I can remove the cable and pin it to the wall.

One last question. What about trunking for the cable, does it need any? The cable isn't exposed at any point. The trunking is in the boxed in section in the second bedroom. Will this cause the cable to get to hot?

Thanks for the advice. Think I'll get a socket tester just to make sure.

In all fairness to him, he is quite thorough. That's great and thanks for all of the advice. I've just put 16a mcb back in and all good. Is it safe to leave the junction box in place rather than inviting him round to alter it again. I'll end up with something else needing to be sorted out otherwise.

Hope this helps.

The socket was to be used for a computer and monitor. The original circuit was only supplying the boiler yes. Would a 16a breaker make it safe again and allow me to use the socket? I'll try and get some photos.

Thanks for the reply. So what needs to happen for me to put it right? Am I best to remove the power point wiring from the junction box and put the original 16a mcbback in place? Or is there anyway of keeping the socket and if so how? Many thanks.

Hi. I wonder if someone is able to advise me or point me in the right direction. I had been wanting an additional double power point installing in our master bedroom. I was ready to have this done by a qualified electrician but on returning home from work at the weekend I found out that my...
