Re: Household wiring > regulations - calling 4a sparky.

I'd rather not pull the entire ring up through the wardrobes.

I want to put a fused box on the floor under the wardrobe, either side so that I can then take a cable from that.
This way the wardrobes can be removed safely etc, taking the full ring up will mean total power off & more rewiring if they are removed.

As for the mess, another bit of it is the shower, the water pipe is earthed by a nice big 2.5mm Green/Yellow cable.
Bared for about 8" & twisted round the pipe I can't wait to get at that lot.

That page does help a bit OB, it says that it is a "reccomendation" that you only have 1 spur per outlet.

Perhaps instead I should just take the ring through to the fused boxes & then out again.

Cheers.

Is that in the regs?

I don't fancy having a fused box on my bedside ta, it will be hidden under the draws where it can't be seen.
