    Thanks all and thanks for the different perspectives and weighting thereof. After considering what was written here, and the originally referenced 'Interesting wiring' I am seeing around the house (1920s built with 1980s extension), I have decided to get a local sparky in to give me an...

    Replacement oven - incorrect switch?

    Thanks for the quick response. I think we can agree my opening post was poorly worded/described :) Pseudo spark speak it is.

    Replacement oven - incorrect switch?

    I am confused, but it may be I phrased my questions poorly. I wanted to know if the current install, using a 45A switch was wrong given the rating of the circuit.

    I like this forum :) Firstly, sorry for the delay in responding, I have been away on holiday. Secondly, thank you for the quick and helpful responses I was beginning to think I had misunderstood a lot.. Thirdly, 'Berks' is Berkshire and my location in near J12 of the M4. If this is a location...

    Professional assessment of DIY work - but was he correct?

    Hi, I am a DIY-er with training in domestic installation - I am not certified etc. My house has a modern consumer unit with RCDs and MCBs. I have done minor changes to some existing circuits. I recently had an Electrician in to re-wire my kitchen - I believe that under current regs (England) I...
