    UK DIYer Newbie - adding additional sockets

    No, that's fine - just looking for a short-term solution until finances allow for a proper resolution. Many thanks for all your help.

    UK DIYer Newbie - adding additional sockets

    Would there be any benefit in putting a fused connector unit before the socket? if so, what size should the fuse be? Thanks

    UK DIYer Newbie - adding additional sockets

    The only 20A fuse carriers I can find are on ebay (please let me know if you know where I can get a new one from). Would I be able to use something like: https://www.toolstation.com/wylex-plug-in-breaker-b-type/p41848 In either case would it fit straight into the 45A socket? Thanks

    UK DIYer Newbie - adding additional sockets

    It is a cartridge with 45A on the sealed case so no access to the fuse wire to change it. I'll get a local electrician to look at it but in the meantime would it be better to change it to a 20A fuse either cartridge or carrier with the correct fuse wire? You're right in assuming there isn't an...

    UK DIYer Newbie - adding additional sockets

    I've decided to shelve the additional sockets idea until I can get this problem sorted out - I understand that the 45A fuse is not acceptable and will replace it so could you advise what size fuse I should have in there. Many thanks

    It would be for the existing double socket (i.e. no additional sockets).

    There is nothing between where the cable becomes visible (from behind the fuse box) and the socket. We have a gas cooker so I can't say but nothing in the house nor the garage lights are affected only the double socket. Thanks

    Please see https://ibb.co/n0Rd3ZH I removed all four fuses (individually) and none of them affected the garage circuit - only removing the 45 amp right-hand fuse affects it.

    UK DIYer Newbie - adding additional sockets

    Hi, looking at the photo the white cable coming out of the top of the fuse box goes to the socket - it is protected by the fuse shown uncovered. The rest of the house is protected by the fuses in the main block.

    Sorry for the delay as I couldn't upload the photo (too big at 0.99mb) however it can be found at: https://ibb.co/MVCrm3d How do I tell if it's a Radial circuit and how to tell if it's Radial20? Thanks

    UK DIYer Newbie - adding additional sockets

    Hi, Newbie here so please excuse any stupid questions. There is a single 2.5 T&E running from a dedicated connection on my "old type" fuse box (photo available if needed) in the garage to a single 2 gang 3 pin socket (approx 3 metres away) - there is no return cable. I'm wanting to add extra...
