thank you, i'll order the top one just to be sure i have enough, at present i only have 4 old type fuses for everything, 1 for cooker, 1 for lights and 1 each for upstairs and downstairs power, methinks the top one will be plenty,
thanks again- much appreciated

o while im on subject, seem to be gettin diff views about which cable to use for lighting.... 1mm t+e or 1.5mm t+e?
again any pointers, tryin to get all stuff here so when sparky comes im ready for him?
cheers

As a rule I nearly always use 1.5 T&E for lighting but 1.0mm would almost certainly be fine on 90% of jobs that I do.

can you overdo it with 1.5mm if 1mm is enough for the job?
so say 1mm is enough but i used 1.5mm would that cause any probs?
