Have not taken any offence to the criticism of design. That's why I asked the question, guys on here have far more experience. Not had the advantage of an apprenticeship, but did my city and guilds level 3 as a service engineer so do no a thing or two about ohms law etc. Have done my 2395/2394...
Have tried to think of another way to do it. Can't get back to board as it is at the other side of house, has double height hall way with no way across. Going around the outside is not an option either, so going off the ring seems to be the only option. My plan is to have a switched fused spur...
Your right there is no point in fitting a CU, overthinking it as usual. Just stick with a FCU at the house and just use a 20 amp switch at the Summerhouse to isolate and fuse the lights down. Wants going back to the board really, but no way to it without major alterations.
Done a calc for volt drop 4mm is ok, did think of using 6mm but thought it was a bit over the top as it just running a fridge and a couple of lights. Got a log burner in there so not going to be used for heat. Did think of just using a double pole switch and FCU for the lights.
Been asked to install 3 X sockets 1 X light 1 X PIR light into a summer house. The building is 45 mtrs away from the house and I'm unable to wire back to the board. My plan is to take a fused spur of the ring and use a 4mm SWA to feed the summerhouse. In summerhouse I intend to install a 2 way...

Have been asked to install four down lights in a bathroom that has polystyrene ceiling tiles. I plan on using sealed LED units so that a bulb can't be replaced with a normal halogen bulb. Have checked chapter 42 in regs, as I read it as long as the temperature does not cause a fire hazard there...

1. Do I need to change the board for the two storage heaters and the immersion or can they remain on the existing board without RCD protection, The householder is not...
I have been to look at a job today, they want a cat run wiring, It has two small panel heaters and a bulked head light. I am able to take a feed from a socket in the out building which has its own DB with RCD protection. My question is, is this classed as a special location therefore requiring...
Not sure about the Part L, will explain to the customer. It's not a new property so I don't know if it has to comply with current requirements for insulation. Thanks for the helpful information, will put my quote in tomorrow and see what happens.
