Looking at getting their hardwire kit, I'm assuming ok to use 3core cable to a 3pin plug instead of going directly to consumer unit or wiring to back of plug socketas seen in many youtube videos? The latter 2 I'd obviously get an electrician in but I'm capable of wiring a 3pin plug.
Thanks
Is this ok?

I'm buying my wife a led, anti fog mirror for her birthday and it recommends hard wiring to be connected to a wall switch. I don't have access to above or behind the wall in question, what is the best way to hook this up? Run a wire from the light above the mirror? Or try to go around the corner...

We've recently brought a new build house and it's come with an AEG induction hob. We quickly realised there wasn't enough power to heat more than 2 pans at once. Rather pointless given its a 4 ring hob and slightly challenging cooking xmas dinner!
We've had Bellway out and they explained its a...
I am a home owner that has a lot of previous success with some pretty heavy DIY projects including running a 100 amp box in the garage and adding 7 outlets on 3 breakers, etc.
That said I just purchased a Dimplex euh12b84ct and have not been able to get it running. Its 12.5 KW 600 Volt and I'm...
Hi all,
I am installing a new dishwasher. I am comfortable doing this wiring because my dad was an electrician and taught me general wiring. My question is, do you think it’s better to have an outlet under the sink or just hardwire it. It seams weird to me that code would allow an electrical...

Hi there,
I am getting my kitchen replaced next week and I need to buy some undercabinet lighting. I prefer to have them hardwired instead of plugged-in so that we have a free socket and less cables running around.
I have found a set of dimmable puck LED lights on amazon which I like but...
No electrical knowledge, I can change a plug and a light bulb but that's about it. My dilemma is this. I'm wanting to fit a 120w outdoor light with sensor for my parents who recently moved into a bungalow. To keep the cost down I'm wanting to know if I can just put a plug on the unit as all the...
