    hi all,

    What is the best wiring detector (stud finder?) for detecting live wires in behind a 100mm insulated plasterboard slab?
    I know this will only give an indication and I’ll have to use the location of sockets and light switches etc to give an idea if there are any wires in the vicinity.
    I’ve to hang a few pics and a TV etc.

    Also is there anything like a signal generator that could be hooked onto a disconnected leg of a socket circuit, so that it sends a signal through that leg of wiring and a detector can pick up that signal- if ya get me.
    Thanks for any advice
