Many thanks. I forgot to mention one thing though. The garage is under Building Control inspection.

Hello guys. I am building a garage and have discovered a brand new roll of Red/Black 2.5mm Twin and Earth cable in my cupboard. Now that we are no longer in EU, is it legal for it to be used?. It would be such a waste buying new. Thank you.

Many, many thanks, gents. It does have a door and as it backs onto a party wall, dry. Thank you.

Hello guys At first, I was locating the FCU for the Shower Pump outside the bathroom due to the environment. On reflection, I am now feel I am able to locate it in the bathroom cupboard as it will be more than 600mm beyond the requirement of the Regs. Please see the sketch I have attached...

Thanks to everyone. I agree I may be over-reacting.  My first work on electricity without training was very involved, and at the end I fitted the Consumer Unit with tails dangling for the Board to come and connect. Having examined the work they said the job was so well done I may as well have...

Thank you. I have updated my profile. Did not know about that type of clip. Please indicate if possible. many thanks

Hi Does anyone know of any suppliers here I can get pattress boxes with cable restraint ?.  Cannot find any local stockist.  Thanks

Many thanks to all for your responses. As two of you mentioned, I was in fact over cooking the problem.  I have now gone through checking things out. The boiler temperature was much too high when I first checked, hence my concern about the heating effect on the cable. And I had not yet decided...

Hello Sharpend. I only did rough calculations with correction factors, using length of (1.5mm) cable  starting at CU;  ambient temperature where cylinder is located (closed cupboard),  and length of cable exposed to that temperature within the cupboard. Whilst correction factors allow for...

Hello I need to install a Shower Pump in the 1st Floor bathroom and run it from a 6A MCB where the CU is located under the stairs.  It is the Open-Vent system and the Immersion Heater is in a cupboard next to the bath. The Heater have the correct Immersion cable. In checking out the correction...

Helllo I happened to be searching for a forum like this and selected this one. Multi-skilled. I do have some electrical capabilities but I feel there is no harm in enhancing that capability.  And I like to double check.
