Hi All,
I think cowboys have previously been at the wiring of my house - if I briefly explain the setup would anyone care to pass comment on how bad my mood should be? Also what sort of investigation and subsequent work would you think appropriate.
I'm looking into this as I'm planning a new kitchen ASAP. I appreciate I may have to call in the professionals(??) but I would like to understand what is going on first.
The house has a new consumer unit which has to be good thing and I have no problems with breakers tripping etc. Here is what each breaker seems to control....
1) Labelled: Shower Rating: 16 amp 1 thin wire going in. Controls: garage -one dbl socket, extractor fan, light in downstairs loo (spurs off of spurs etc) landing - one dbl socket study - two dbl sockets spare - one dbl socket bedroom - three dbl sockets2) Labelled: Sockets Rating: 32 amp
2 thin wires Controls: living room - 3 dbl sockets kitchen - 2 dbl sockets3) Labelled: Sockets Rating: 40 amps
1 thick wire Controls: Kitchen cooker socket (hob and oven are both gas - control igniters only) Shower4) Labelled: lights Rating: 6 amps
1 thin wire Controls: Upstairs lights5) Labelled: lights Rating: 6 amps
1 thin wire Controls: Downstairs lightsMany thanks,
Martin.
