    I have a PIR in the hall looking at the stairs and a RKP by the front door/ stairs. The pir is only there to start entry beeps as I come down the last couple of stairs to remind me to turn off the alarm.

    Advice sought on spurs off spurs

    The proposed solution to the spur off spur issue was to add the garage socket & ch to the new 16A radial put in for the garage doors, & use justone of the other two sockets in the utility room ie remove the spurred spur.

    Electrician came back as promised. I had in the meantime traced the neutral from the landing light fitting to a source in a bedroom light pendant and also proved that the live was linked from the dual switch at the bottom of the stairs ( hall / landing) . Electrical removed the existing...

    Advice sought on spurs off spurs

    Thanks for the info... I always thought it more convenient to have the lighting circuits split for maintenance etc or if there is a problem with one circuit ... the other still works. Every property I have owned has had split lighting circuits. I would prefer them to be on separate MCB & on...

    Advice sought on spurs off spurs

    The circuits were split differently but after spark had gone home when I turned on the landing loght both rcd’s tripped. I called & he came back the next day & explained there must be a shared neutral between the lighting circuits & had to rewire the panel which meant the loads would not be...

There is a ring final for the kitchen , the utility & garage sockets are on the same circuit ie when i switch off the kitchen breaker, the utility & garage socket go off as well.

    I'm planning to install a U-Heat mat in a small en-suite. Never done one before. The thermostat will be on the adjacent bedroom wall. What is the recommended method of providing the live feed to the thermostat/on off switch unit? From a fused connection unit, switched fused connection unit or a...
