what's wrong with paul masson red? wine is OK and if you drink it in bed, you can use the bottle as a pi$$pot after. also useful as a piggy bank for £2 coins ( assuming you have emptied the pi$$ first ).Because the pads down here are so expensive, we have to survive on dripping and dirty water. I draw a line at Paul Masson plonk though
Crimp and heat shrink sleeve. Last resort jointing it though, i'd be wanting to run a new cable.Any junction to be made in the cable would need to be maintenance free and depending on the space between the plasterboard and the wall it is likely that a maintenance free junction box would not fit, also the two cable ends would not reach sufficiently into the terminals.
If there is a switch directly below then it should be possible to draw up another cable from the switch and then joint the cable with enough slack to allow a good connection. However an alternative to a junction box would be needed to fit the space.
The quote you have sounds more like they will be replacing the entire cable run from switch to (presumably) cooker hood.
No they are not maintenance-free. Wagos are only maintenance free when used in a Wagobox and not inside anything else.Aren't Wago's MF so would be fine in a choc-box if concealing?
.... Should have known, there's a switch directly beneath.
Its a poor French wine made in America, enough said. Bit like Coca Cola made in France.what's wrong with paul masson red? wine is OK and if you drink it in bed, you can use the bottle as a pi$$pot after. also useful as a piggy bank for £2 coins ( assuming you have emptied the pi$$ first ).
All this needs is a simple crimp in the wall, i wouldn't be messing around replacing the whole cable. £120 is a bit steep for what is a 30 minute job, i reckon more like £70-85 seems more fair.
Is there any other connection I could make that would be suitable? What about wago connectors? Or junction box in plastic casing?
That's a Hager 32amp in the picture above posted by TaylorCables correctly terminated using wago's inside a grey wago box with a tie wrap around the enclosure, is regarded as a maintenence free connection method. It would therefore comply if done properly.
Only connection methods that are marked as maintenence free (MF), should be used if it is within the wall. Hager also do a (MF) junction box.
Drilled through cable in kitchen wall, tripped the fuse box. Switched back on and everything works apart from the cooker hood.
I've called electrician and explained, given me a quote of £120 plus VAT. Is that reasonable?
Is this something I can fix? If so, how? I have basic electrical skills (i.e I can install a new light fitting, install a dimmer switch, change a plug, etc...!)
