I would say that the only thing you need to buy, is the skills/expertise of an professional Electrician. Simples.

Are you going to be testing your installation as may as well get an electrician to do it if not as will need testing after

It's a forum for sparks to help each other.

I've got a room that needs plastering, I have got all the bits and done the prep - would you plaster it for me FOC?

Your a band aid?? Is that like a roadie?

Plastering is a lot more harder work than being an electrician no offence I know you need brains as electric is a dangerous game if not done right but can be done without braking a sweat you know what I mean

Each trade has its ups and downs...... How many lofts have you replastered in the summer? You must come across lazy sparks ....

A lot to be honest I plastered dug Ellis loft conversion when we had the heat wave 3 years ago 100 mm of king span in the rafters and 50 mm on top of joists with 15mm sound fire line board over the top tops of 3 story houses all I was after was abit of advice don't want to get into an argument we all graft and all need one another to make a house I have posted in the diy forum first time on here didn't know where to post

 

[Tony Morgan]

I did get information from an electrician from clarkson Evans off a site I was on in Sutton but not been back there for a while

Of course if the plastering goes wrong you won't die, well I don't think so anyway. The thing is if you tell someone the wrong thing and they do come to harm well you know it is very bad news. There is a way to do it but it isn't as simple as put a fused spur on the lot. Wink wink

 

[Octopus]

Surely you must know some local sparks who could help you?

It's almost impossible to advise on such work without a site visit....

Tony with respect whilst I would not want to pitch one trade against another and it is a art to get a smooth plastered wall I think you are in danger of alienating yourself with most people on this forum. I take it this bar is some sort of shed like construction what size cable and type have you put in to bar ?.

Don't ask daft questions he will have calculated the size of the cable dependant upon the design requirements, won't he?
