Hi there We are fitting a new kitchen, and laying ceramic tiles on the floor. The floorboards are uneven, and the floor is not level. We have been advised to screed the floor with cement, and then tile on top of this. My questions are as follows: Should we lift the thin layers of hardboard...

Hi Sorry, I didnt make myself very clear. I could move the socket to under the worktop. In fact, that would be very useful as I need a plug for the washing machine. What I need to know, however, is if there are any rules governing the distance a plug socket has to be from a sink (bearing in...

Thanks. It is on a circuit. Am I allowed to have a socket on the wall if it is under a sink (under the worktop?). Is there a minimum amount of space that it needs to be away from anything, say, like a water supply or water outlet? Thanks

Hi, Ive been reading through these forums lots lately, and the general concensus seems to be that you cannot plug an electric hob into a 13 amp 3pin socket. However, I have been assured by Whirlpool (who make the ignis ceramic hob that I want) that I can do this. I do not know the rating of...
