    Using existing cable

    I'm building a extension in the near future and have recently done a lot of work on my house. During the work, I installed a cable for the heating in my extension (runs from a JB near my boiler to where the extension would be). I'm worried about getting this cable 'signed off' as the cable is...

    Insulating around cables

    I need to insulate under my suspended floor which has many cables running through the joists (consumer unit is below floor). My main concern is causing the cables to overheat etc. Here's a quick overview: Joist height: 140mm Cables: Mixture of circuits but the 2.5mm 32A rings are my main concern...

    Sealing around cables?

    My consumer unit is in my garage and the cables (approx 12 cables - 10 circuits) go through the ceiling. There is a huge hole where the cables are and the room above suffers from drafts. I'm wondering what I could/should do with these cables. As it's a garage, there should really be fire...

People seem to do it every way possible but I have doubts about some of the ways that they are done. The ovens I'm looking at are 16A appliances (max power is approx 14A), so I won't be plugging...

    Minimum number of sockets?

    My existing kitchen is being rewired? Would it need to comply with the number of sockets in the OSG in table H7? My kitchen is small. Having 6 double sockets (plus cooker switches etc.) looks stupid and I would struggle to use half of them given. My interpretation is that these are just...

    Kitchen appliance switches

    I will be redoing my kitchen (new cabinets, new appliances, and complete re-wire) and I'm trying to work out the best way of doing switches for built in appliances. I planning to have three appliances (not including the ovens and hob). These will be a warming draw, vacuum draw and extractor...
