Hi,
I am looking for some advice on the best way to install 5 double plug sockets into my garage, all of which will be running multiple computers.

Hi all.
I want to add a double socket, the closest one is on opposite wall.
So instead of using 2.5 T&E and then pvc trunking, can I use 2.5mm white flex?
Only asking as flex would look a little neater clipped around the bottom of the skirting.
Weren't sure what if coming from.one socket...

Hi,
I have a double electric socket, standard 13amp. My son broke a plug in one of the sockets so I decided to change it.
The new one I purchased had 2 connections for the earth wire whereas my old one only had 1. I read that it's ok to only use one of the connections so I did. Once...

A friend bought an extra control switch for his winch so that he'd have controls at upper and lower levels during building work. His problem was that the new switch was single pole while the switch in the original control unit was double pole (both double throw, centre return).

Our 20 year old Kitchen aid double ovens have finally bit the dust and we need to replace them. I don't want to cut into our cabinets, so although we looked at Bosch, Dacor and Kitchen Aid, the Bosch will not fit so that's out.
I've heard great things about the Dacor, that it bakes incredibly...
