Are Wago junction boxes suitable as i can get some of them from Screw fix but have to send of for the others.

Hi, I am wanting to move a double wall socket about a meter further along the wall. Ive chased the cables out, which run up into the ceiling. One of the cables will reach the new location fine but the other is too short. Can I extend the short cable using a 30 amp junction box, and...

What is best wago to use 222 or 773. It would be behind the units so I will have to cut all three and join in JB above units. So 3 wago s. Alternatively the isolation switch is 18 inches below the damage. Could I simply move that up and have it inside the cupboard. It will still be...

Ok is this damaged too much to wrap in tape? Should I just cut and add junction box and new section of wire?

Well Ive cut the insulation back to examine it closely and yes the cables have been damaged. They havent been completely cut through but are definitely mis shaped. Presumably as was suggested earlier. I can but a junction box in and run fresh cable from it to the cooker isolation switch...

I will tape as described and then before I fit the kitchen units I will have the electrician test everything. Then if anything is wrong there is access still to the taped cable. The circuit has been used for the past 20 years without issue and there is no signs of scorching or soot or burning...

the ground floor is a suspended wooden floor over concrete base. the cables run from garage up into ceiling then to all the rooms and down the walls. The cooker cable runs down behind the plaster board wall behind the wall units to the cooker switch which is mounted between the work surface...

Who ever fitted the kitchen in my house, which was a new build, almost screwed through the cooker circuit cable when mounting the wall cupboards. Ive just chased them back to fit a new kitchen and found that the cupboard mounting screw has passed through the grey outer coating and bruised the...

I am hoping to fit both an integrated dishwasher and integrated washing machine and am hoping to use the plug sockets that are already in situ and are used for stand alone dishwasher and washing machines. The problem with using the plugged sockets is that they stick out too far to fit the...

:D

Thanks for the advice much appreciated

Cheers. I dont intend to extend the circuit but the actual cooker point may need moving 6 inches to the left. Can I simply replace the cable from the isolation switch and put a slightly longer one to where to cooker point will be situated? The 2 ovens will be mounted above each other...

I wish to install 2 new ovens (built in Siemens) and an Induction Hob (Siemens) and use the present cooker circuit to power them. Is my application of the diversity formula correct and if so can I wire them all in to the present circuit? oven 1 3.5kw oven 2 3.6kw hob 7.1kw...

I havent used our emmersion heater for a few years as the rocker switch broke and I just use the central heating to heat water. If I replace the switch will it be safe to switch on? Or do they deteriorate having not been used?

Im looking to install a new kitchen and looking at options for plugging things in. I have 2 ovens at 3,500w and 3,600w that I believe I can hard wire to the cooker point that is already in situ.; I then have a hob that is rated 2,900 and has a uk 13 amp plug ( yes it does Bosch do one). Would...

Ive just discovered that my cooker isolation switch also cuts off the power to a single socket above the kitchen wall units. What would that usually be used for? I have a separate socket that would be used for the cooker hood which operates independently. cheers
