A few months ago I fitted a change over switch to an electric oven/hob and a converted to electric aga stove, stopping them being used at the same time.
I've now been asked to fit a timer so that the Aga can't be left on overnight.
I'm not happy to do this for various reasons, but can anyone...
Hi all.
Removed an ancient light fitting, replaced with a newer one, the light comes on but can't be turned off with the switch. It was working before. Any idea where I'm going wrong? The old light fitting had all neutral and all live to the wrapped and inserted into the corresponding terminals...
I have a large gym in the garden and it gets ridiculously hot in the summer.
I have utilised pretty much every inch of space and do not want to put a plug in air con unit that sits on the floor as it would just be in the way.
What puts me off a wall unit is the fact you have to get an F-gas...

Hi,
I do basic electrical DIY like changing light fittings and have got a light to put up that only has a fly earth and no flex earth (see pic).
I’ll be buying a junction box but just wondering why I’ve no flex earth?
Do I just use the fly in the junction box alone?
TIA
Do I need any more than this to fit the above board, does it need a fitting kit for the switch or anything extra to get it up and running (tails excluded obviously)
I was just googling for skeleton boards after reading the last thread and various pictures of consumer units popped up, some wired terribly and others that look like a work of art. But for me to get it looking even half neat I have to strip everything out of it so its just an empty box, strip...

Where the new hood is going to be situated is some distance from any of the outlets in the kitchen ring main.
However there is a cable coming out of the wall near where the hood is going that was originally intended for one of a pair of wall...
I'm looking to consider asking my electrician to fit one extra LED flush-fit spot in loft hatch so it matches the rows in the ceiling to a total of 9 (3 rows of 3). He's concerned that it won't be safe and I totally get this, but is there a way to install this with some form of strong, flexible...

We've been putting in a new kitchen into an apartment over the last couple of weeks and had a bit of a nightmare with the electrician. The firm is well rated and the guy we initially spoke to...
Just replacing a ceiling light and could do with some guidance on sorting out all the wiring.
This is how it was:
And the light is expecting just the 3 wires:
Wondering what's the best way to tackle it. I could do with removing that block in the ceiling altogether and somehow having just 3...
