Re: Household wiring > regulations - calling 4a sparky.
No, it's not a case of removing wardrobes, just pulling out & removing the drawers.

I really don't want to have the ring main wired up through wardrobes, neither do I want the protection visible.

I have enough spare fused spur boxes etc.

By simply placing the spur on the floorboards, underneath the back of the bottom draw it should enable me to then wire up through the bedside draw unit to a socket fitted to it. Then if needs be, remove the drawers to service it should there be a problem. Individual fuse failure is most unlikely as it is all RCCD protected.

As for Caspar's heating, even if the wires were cross wired, it should work. My bet would be that the diaphragm in the main valve is shot.
I had this problem on my boiler, needed the heating to be on to draw hot water.

Replaced the diaphragm (cost £17) and all was fine. (The entire valve will cost £100+).
