Should just be a 13amp plug. Simple plug and play

[rimexboy]

lol i mean for the whole kitchen cheers

2.5 twin and earth as a ring for the sockets and 6mm for the cooker on a seperate circuit due to the higher load.

[lutonlagerlout]

depends on the cooker in question
my all electric jobby had to have a 10mm cable all of its own
time for a registered sparky simon?

ah tony "registered" is a word i dont like its gone mental this country, i need to get a sparky to sign of my conservatory i did around 3 years back..... do you know any in romford area at all lol

I re wired a part of my last house myself, the aggro due to not having it signed off was huge. Theres no saving diy'ing it

domestic 6mm is correct for cooker/power shower. what the lads are saying about quilifed is correct, you need the 18th edition to sign. ???

any one round essex at all please ???

why would someone who went to college for 3 years want to sign off unseen work?
my mate duncan who is a top sparks gets these requests all the time and he cannot do it
its a no brainer most electrical work is 1-2 days first fix and 1-2 days second fix ,not big money

sorry simon dont know anyone in that area maybe try mybuilder?

cheers LLL

[rimexboy]

Tony i see your point and have to agree but i was unaware that i would need this done... but i do now cheers

request now posted on mybuilder?

[lutonlagerlout]

the problem is that if electrical work is unsigned off at the time it has to be assumed to be shoddy
it can be checked but that involves taking up floorboards etc
spurs are out of the window now,everything must be on a ring and the correct cable
and rab the cookers draw depends on what cable it needs ,mine had to have 10mm armoured which actually measured 35mm in diameter and cots me £250 from the meter to the cooker around the house :O

i thought i could just plug the cooker in to a normal socket
oh no

you got one hell of a cooker tony, 10mm armoured core is bigger than the cable lighting your street lighting.

i know what your saying but for standard domestic cookers in a normal house 6mm is the approved cable but that's why you need an approved spark or spark to sign off as they will know the specifics of the site.

lol well chaps here in essex we still have gas lol so its just for the ignition, TOWIE all the way pmsl

[rab1]

even if its gas it should be 6mm twin and earth as a basic requirement but as lll says there are exceptions.

ps, please tell me you don`t own a sunbed, from what i see in the papers essex is worse than glasgow for perma tans.
