    Brushes and rollers reccommendations

    There are a lot of cheap nasty brushes out there joe that are just not fit for purpose.

    small cupboard

    Have seen it done with built in wardrobes and it can look quite good. The doors seem to just disappear. The ones I have seen tend to be push operated so they don't have handles and use flush hinges. If papering then may be best to coat with water based matt varnish (if the paper will allow) so...

    Painting bathroom walls

    It would be a good idea to paint a stain block over the water stained area. You may get away with using some oil based undercoat if you have some lying around as this will do the job and can be cheaper. Once dry you will be able to over paint with your desired emulsion. Johnstones do a decent...

    Immigration...............Job I did today, feel very uneasy.

    I don't think it would be a good idea to tell official people that you have been looking at and reading someone else's mail without consent! An anonymous tip off maybe, with just enough info to get the ball rolling!

    Installation of a shower circuit

    Myself and my QS are now aware of the fact that it does not conform to BS7671. That is why I am returning to protect the lights via a RCD. The question was could some one advise how my installation has made the location more dangerous, not weather or not it complies!

    Installation of a shower circuit

    Could some one please point out to me that what I have done makes the installation more dangerous as my circuit is RCD protected, the water intake is connected to cpc internally (bonded), the shower in its design is IPX4, there is an IPX4 light fitting and the rad is bonded to the lighting...

    Installation of a shower circuit

    No, I had a discussion with my QS and he did not know that what I had done was a breach either. He suggested that we go back to fit the rcbo as per the NIC and I arranged it with the customer. i.e appointment date and informed them that it was at no charge!
