[QUOTE="JeffK, post: 451794, member: 29432"] ok thanks for the comments guys... what I am hearing is that I have to get a fuse into the mix. My biggest concern is safety (along with not wanting to mess up the decor) :) . A junction box may not be suitable as it would be located beneath the floorboards and therefore not accessible. A socket box under the floorboards is a bad idea. So, a "switched fused connection unit, set in a plasterboard back box" is the way to go. (I did a quick google and they look like the things that are installed with an electrical cooker) Thanks for the advice... looks like I have another job this weekend. [/QUOTE]
