    Isolating switch needed?

    Hi, I have an underfloor heating system in a room (just less than 2kW). It works absolutely beautifully but an electrician who came to swap a socket in that room said that it looked like a ‘lazy install’. He was unprofessional and a rip-off - so I want to get someone else to check it - but I...

    Morning all, Little advice regarding whether spuring from a Three phase isolator to a single phase FCU is allowed? I need to wire a Single phase FCU which is located right next to a 16A TP isolator to a high speed door. Obviously, It would be a lot less pain to wire straight from the TP...

    Spur for fcu next to double socket.

    Grateful if someone could offer some advise, I'm struggling to find a definitive answer to this. I have a double socket, it was on the ring main but due to short leads after decoration the ring was joined behind the socket using 3 way wagos and short leads run to the socket, so it's effectively...

    explanation of using 2.5mm2 T+E for a spur from a ring 32A (ring)

    Why can we use 2.5mm2 for a spur from either the CB or a point on the ring ? Why does this not have to be 4mm2 when using a 32A breaker ?

    Taking a spur off cooker supply

    DIYer question. I have a 32 amp supply going from consumer unit in garage to kitchen. It supplies an induction hob only. The cable is easily accessible. I need an additional socket in the garage - 13 amp max. The easiest and hopefully cheapest way to do this is to take a spur off the 32 amp...

    UK Spur of midpoint of ring?

    Ok. Can you cut a ring in half, add junction box, then run a spur off it? I thought it had to be from a socket? Mate of mine wanted me to see if "a couple of wires were dead". Looks like old ring main, but they go in the wylex fusebox, so will have to check they are properly removed. Ends...
