    Advice sought on powerful yet attractive kitchen extractor

    Switch & socket height

    Is it acceptable to install switches and sockets at the same height as the originals (1930's house) in a 3 room new build extension ? Or do they have to conform to the 450mm & 1200mm height as in a complete new build ?

    Diagram for finding a fault on a ring main

    Thanks guys - just to confirm, disconnect at CU ? Then do an IR test on each disconnected socket until you get an abnormal reading. From this, you can then ascertain which section of cable is faulty.

    Nozspark, thanks for that, however, I still can't visulise how to do this. That's why I was hoping for a diagram, and I have to explain this with the aid of a diagram.
