Which Armour cable
What size cable should be used to power from consumer unit to my shed It will be running two fridges tv and a light
Pull cord socket fell off
I tried to replace a pull cord, I cut the old one off and tried to unscrew the socket to loop the Bree string through, realised after it was much more complicated! I unscrewed a smaller white socket inside the socket and the lights went out and I accidentally dropped it with little pieces everywhere and have no idea how I can reattach the pull cord. Probably just need a new one? Issue is now the light was still on whilst it fell out and i can’t isolate the bathroom and turn that off only.

Does a vintage pendent light (art deco, I think) need rewiring to be fitted safely? What do I need do to make sure it works with modern wiring?
Power to garage
Hi, My garage has what appears to be a partially and likely badly completed electricity supply carried out by previous owner. There's a consumer unit with breakers fitted in the garage which is wired to several lights and plug sockets. I don't see any indication that this is connected to the house and so has no supply. There is an armoured cable coming from the consumer unit and out the garage roof. However, it goes back into the garage and is badly spliced to a old lawnmower cable. I think the intention by the previous owner was to plug this armoured cable into a socket in the kitchen to supply the garage. (Could be wrong but that's what it looks like.) What would be required to make this safe and functional? Thanks
