We had the same problem. But you are better off re-wiring the hole lot because if you have a ceramic fuse board then your wiring/plugs/switches are bound to be in need of replacement as well. What I did was put a consumer unit between the main supply (and trip) and the ceramic fuses - you can then replace plugs, lights etc..as and when. I wired in all new plugs, separated the boiler and the only thing now going through the ceramic fuses is the lighting circuit. mike

We want to convert our grenier and need to insulate the roof before lining with plasterboard/wood. The ideal material would be Celotex - the expanded polystyrene sheets (covered in foil and about 8cm thick) which can be fixed onto the roof beams with wood battons onto which the plasterboard could be fixed. This way the required 2 inch air gap is left. However, I haven't seen anything like that in France - only standard loose lagging and polystyrene sheets. Has anyone any advice on what is available and what could be used? Thanks Michael
