Wiring a 5 bedroom house

[omoeko]

Hello Everyone,

I am not sure of the etiquette here on the forum, but I would like to start by extending warm greetings to everyone in the house. This forum is very useful for me and I have learnt a lot from it.

I would like to ask a question, its about the list of materials required to wire a 5 bed house. I have the list below, and would like to know if its correct etc.

3/4 double sockets per bedroom, and everywhere will have spot lights apart from the bedrooms. I also plan to use a double electric oven, which is rated at 4,400W and hence a 6mm cable needs to be used. The distance is about 10m from the board to the kitchen. Below are the oven specification.

Energy efficiency class (2010/30/EC) - cavity 2 : A Energy consumption per cycle forced air convection - cavity 2 (2010/30/EC) : 0.80 Energy efficiency index (2010/30/EC) : 112.9 Energy efficiency index cavity 2 (2010/30/EC) : 94.1 Electrical connection rating (W) : 4400 Current (A) : 20 Voltage (V) : 240 Frequency (Hz) : 50

Thanks for your opinions.
Only wish you could come and test it once the work is done.
After removing the 1.5mm single cores and 2.5 mm single cores. I think its all good, if anything else is missing, we will buy it. If there was anything concerning, I am sure you would have mentioned it.

I am not an electrician, the closest thing I would do is change a light bulb, other than that, its pass my rank.

that would not have been a fault with materials but more likely a fault with the quality of the installation work.

So that experience should be no reason for you to buy your own materials.

If you really do have an electrician on this job, then order the materials they are asking for, then they will fit them. End of thread.

If you carry on fishing for information we can only assume there is no electrician and you are going to carry out this work yourself. From the initial list you provided I would not say it had been compiled by a person competent to be carrying out this work.

You didn't respond to my response......

I just did now.

 

[Pete999]

Nope.
Remember I am talking about the past here, this was some 8+ yrs ago.
I dont remember the exact details of the fault as he just said its a faulty cable and it got me thinking, "for a brand new rewiring job within a month", I don't suppose you expect me to be looking over the electricians shoulder to see what he did.

Is this the same house you are planning rewire again?

 

[Pete999]

Yes mate I have something in my workshop something I made when my then boss asked me to do the impossible a wand I think it's called, do't know if any wholesalers stock them.

No, that was my previous flat.

i'm just wondering why singles were specified in the first place., unless existing conduit system is in pace and re-usable.

 

[omoeko]

Typo/confusion on my path.

It's all B S

Don't spoil it Mate I was having a good time

 

[SparkyChick]

It's all B S

I absolutely concur. I was just about to post about the magnitude of the typos... bit of a leap from 1.5mm Twin and Earth to 3 lots of 1.5mm singles in different colours.

 

[omoeko]

That's all I can see here as per typos.

We might not be able to type and spell, but we do do electrics properly

 

[telectrix]

i can't read and i can't write,
but i can drive a tractor.

That was a typo mistake on my path.

I initially wanted to have pendant lights everywhere, however I changed my mind and I have now been told by my electrician that we can remove all the single core brown/blue & earth and buy more twin and earth cables to take care of the spot lights. 250m to be precise. So he does know what he is doing, just feel as though you guys are being harsh on him .

If he knew what he was doing, he wouldn't have been wiring the pendants in singles in the first place. Going on what you've written, neither you or your Electrician (If he exists) have the first clue what your talking about. Your just fishing for information.

I'm done.
