Need power into loft
Hi all I have a 40amp mcb spare unused now. can I run 6mm t&e from that
straight up from cu through floorboards up side of unused chimney breast wall through ceiling into loft into new Schneider cu running 3 double sockets from 16 amp mcb and 2 lights from the 6amp mcb? Or any suggestions greatly apprieciated I have plenty time due to losing my job last week. The light fittings will be plastic and the double sockets are metal fronted with metal backs surface mounted not sank in. The draw on the sockets at max would be around 2400w lights would draw nothing really. https://www.homeownershub.com/img/b9 |

This didn't stop them talking utter ******** about how growing weed in a standard "industrial unit" was hard to detect because the metal cladding reflects all the heat back inside. |

Not exactly rocket science. sounds like maybe someone is doing it without technical competence. |
