Extending ring mains on top of plaster
Essentially I have a "normal" socket in a ring mains, i.e. one 2.5mm T&E going in and one 2.5mm T&E going out. I am looking to simply add two more sockets. Easy enough from a wiring perspective. But my question relates to the location of the wiring itself. The sockets will be cut into a new...- Mjward

Next week I'm starting to build a few built-in wardrobes for the bedrooms and I've hit a brick wall on the lightning element. Normally I run 1.5mm 2-core from a junction box to the different LED strip light locations, and then from the junction box to the LED driver and from there to a...- Mjward

Hello Finally getting round to add more light circuits to the bedrooms beyond the existing one pendant. Most of it fairly easy, but 2 things are not 100% on: 1) wardrobe lights: where do you normally clip the wire for it to protrude from the plaster i.e. anywhere behind the future wardrobe...- Mjward

XLPE vs PVC
Long story short I ordered the "wrong" cable.... wanted H6241Y but mistakenly bought H6241B Now, rather than faff with sending it back, I believe I can still use it but want to check with the pros.

2-way switch... my head hurts
Don't know if it's because its Friday or a long week but my brains have turned to mush trying to figure this out. In a nutshell: I have a downstairs hallway pendant with a 2-way switch. Fantastic. Well, no, both switches are on the ground floor. I want to add a switch to the top of the stairs...- Mjward

Existing chase and permitted routes
Hello Was wondering what the professionals thoughts are with regards to moving a fixture and permitted routes. In this particular instance, I have moved a light switch about 15cm so that it's facing the room/door side as opposed to being around a corner. Additionally, the plan is to build a...- Mjward

Preferred GU10 fitting?

Essentially will be to remove a single pendant and replace with 8 dimmable LED GU10 downlights. My research has already steered me towards...- Mjward

Made me jump!
Moved into a new house and before I make a start on the serious renovation, thought I'd mount a TV so I have some evening entertainment. Easy, the previous owners already had one up, just need to move along slightly for new pilot holes for the new bracket. Or so I thought. Drilled first pilot...- Mjward
