adding consumer unit

[ColJack]

but that's not what you said...

hi all,
i have an old wylex fuse board under my stairs
and wish to add a new board to the circuit just for the
use or the kitchen/ bathroom extension. the new board
will be in the hall.

can i just use a spare 30 A fuse which has the cartridge
type fuses and come off that with
6 or 10mm cable to the new board?

or is that not going to be able to take a new ring main,
cooker circuit and lights etc.

so you quite clearly were / are intending to do it, not that someone had already done it..

i suppose all you smug sparks woke up one morning and knew it all!!

No, but I certainly didn't start doing work on my own untill I was competent to do so.

By the time you were competent did you know that you couldn't run a kitchen/ bathroom extension with cooker circuit, sockets, lights etc off a 30A supply?

You'd hope so

The setup which was there is rubbish.

makes no difference to me if you believe or not

that was the set up when i got on site

if you'd have said that then we wouldn't have replied in the way we have..

we replied the way we did to try and stop you doing something dangerous because the question itself put doubt in our minds as to whether you knew eneough to be doing this work without danger tou yourself or to others..

Just as well then.

well i dont know how long ago the work was done but
it just goes to show how shoddy some peoples work is.

i have replaced the 6mm feed with 16mm tails off of an
existing henley block and as the sub main was a few
meters away, i have installed a kmf switch fuse.

i think that most people would accept that this is
a lot better than the existing setup.
