  • New oven install

    Want a new oven installed. Old one was 13amp connected via plug. Have 6mm cable attached to 40amp on circuit breaker already supplying induction hob. New oven is 2.6kW 16amp. From what I've looked at i think I do not need new wire from circuit board. Is this correct?

    Spotlights on the old Artex ceiling

    Hello, I’m buying a house. It has Artex ceilings ( May have asbestos as the house is from 70s) I want to have spot lights installedIn the living room and kitchen and the ceiling plastered and skimmed. Do I have to get the ceilings plastered first and then lights installed? What are the safety considerations around making holes in a ceiling that possibly contains asbestos. The bedrooms above have carpets and floorboards underneath ( as I was told) Thank you
