Hi Chris No gap at all between the cupboard and wall and the drawers go the full length and width!

There is no gap at all between the unit and the wall. What I thought I would do is channel out the wall for the gas pipe behind the unit, the hob is 28mm deep and the worktop 38mm so the inlet connection will be "in" the worktop, so I will cut a channel in the underside of the worktop for the...

Hi There Yes it is an Ikea cabinet. Please tell me there is a solution to this situation as planning for it is driving me mad!!!!!

Hi I have a query regarding plumbing in the gas supply to a built in hob. The hob has a gas inlet socket on the rear which needs to connect to the gas supply (a corgi man is going to do this - obviously) My question is how does this sit? The worktop lies between the hob and the unit...

Hi I wasn't going to use fused spurs, just single sockets on the ring. Each appliance has a fused plug There are currently four double sockets in the kitchen

I have done a very poor diagram of what I intend. You can see this at http://www.kilnerbank.co.uk/plugs.jpg

Hi Ok, there are two grey coloured cables with black, red and earth going into the socket, and a third set coming out to another socket on the opposite side of the wall. this socket is in a far corner of the room and no other sockets are near it. I will be moving this socket along the...

Hi Just a few quick questions 1. Removed a plug socket facia and it has 3 mains flex cables, one leads to a spur, Am I correct in assuming this is the last socket on the ring. 2. Apart from the cable for the spur, does it matter which cable I disconnect? 3. After I have disconnected...

Hi I think I may have confused myself here. I run a fused Spur off the mains ring and hard wire all three applicances into it that should be OK! Didn't think a Gas Cooker would need a dedicated radial.

Hi I have bought a 45amp cooker switch with a socket which I intend to replace a double socket on my Mains Ring with. Will this be suitable to run the cables for a gas oven, gas hob and electric extractor fan to, and still use the plug for a lamp or kettle? It will be on the mains ring...

Hi Thanks for that, will I need to take the old plaster off as it is not a level surface at the moment? and will it hold with the weight of the tiles?

Hi I am renovating my kitchen, and so far I have removed a number of units and some tiling. The walls now look like this http://www.kilnerbank.co.uk/wall1.jpg http://www.kilnerbank.co.uk/wall2.jpg http://www.kilnerbank.co.uk/wall3.jpg Do you think I will be able to stick plasterboard...

Hi Silly Question, but can this http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/LTYT70.html take 6 10W lights or 3 20W Lights?

Hi I have looked in the reference section, I just wantto know what I can use to reconnect the ring from the last new socket to the existing wire in the existing socket as it ends with just enough cable to connect to the socket. There is no room for a junction box

Hi I have removed a cover of a plug socket I am thinking of extending the plug ring from. In the plug are three cables, one of which I know runs a spur on the opposite side of the wall, the other two both connect to the plug. My question is can I extended the ring from here and how is...

Hi Its only going to be 6 x 20w lights, 2 lights under 3 cupboards

Hi I don't want them to be dimable, just switched off and on at the wall like the ceiling lights, but what I am trying to ask is will the transformer work OK if it is wired into a ceiling rose, or does it have to be powered from the mains ring?

Some come with a transformer after the plug, obviously to convert the current, but what will the difference be connecting to the ceiling rose rather than off a spur? and what about the fuse provided by the plug?

Hi I need some halogen downlights to sit under my kitchen units to shine on the worktop below. No problem I hear you say, but all the ones I can find need to be pluged into a socket - I want to find some that I can run from a ceiling rose and turned on using a conventional lightswitch- can...

Hi Felix Thanks for the post. What you are saying basically is to wire a plug socked from the ceiling rose and plug my LEDs into that. I suppose this would be the best option as I can fix the plug behind the cupboards so no-one could use it anyway as the lights are for the kickboard...
