..and if it is connected directly to the ring final circuit?

Hi, I have an outside wall which I want to put a light on, and inside (on the opposite side of the same wall) there is the fused switch for our dishwasher. Can I take a feed from this dishwasher switch, put in another fused switch and then from this new switch run the cable outside to the...

Good point! Overlooked that, so whats the solution? You can't have ten butts lined up just in case one overflows?

I have the same. My neighbour and me have a garage each joined together and the guttering runs along the front and back, and down the downpipe on his side. I want to put a water butt in my back garden effectively cutting in a running outlet (or downpipe section) in my side of the garden...

Thank you ban-all-sheds, very helpful, and great full answers! just to claify your questions... I didn't mean to say "fuse" in garage, I meant to say MCB's. If I do have an RCD in the house CU supplying the garage (positive there is) then this is enough for the sockets in the garage, no...

First of all, thanks for all the replies. Why would it make it harder to seal with 2 cables? I was planning on taking cable straight thru wall and into the back of the socket, so it looks neater, rather than seeing the cable come out of the wall then go into the bottom of the socket...

When installing the socket to the outside wall, how do you create a seal between the wall and the back face of the new socket? Is it advisable to drill a larger hole thru the wall and run a length of tubing/pipe as a conduit for the cable?

Thanks for such a quick reply. Sorry to sound dumb, but just to clarify.. If we take the power socket first, radial circuit meaning that it goes from the CU to the socket and terminates there, i.e. doesn't loop back to the CU as in a ring main? As the CU is at the front of the garage and...

Hi I am no expert at wiring, but I can do more than just wire a plug! e.g. I've wired in low volatge spotlights, and spurred power sockets etc. I have just bought a brand new house with a garage. In the garage is power and lighting, so has a consumer unit with 1 fuse for power and 1 fuse...

its about 70mm high, and the depth varies from a few mm to about 30-35mm in places.

PVA on the wall prior to plaster or PVA diluted in the plaster mix? I was thinking of a bit of plaster, just to take it down to the floor, in dabs every half metre or so.

I have just removed all my skirting boards from downstairs, prior to fitting laminate flooring. Now that the skirting has been removed, there is a gap where the plaster is missing, about the same height as the skirting boards were. As I will be fitting the new skirting with "No Nails"...
