Hi all, Just had a new kitchen done, when the old floor tiles were removed it was a right dog, so self level was put down to get a nice even surface. I now need to lay down the floor tiles. I have two questions if you don't mind. 1. With the self level, this has added a few mm depth, with the...

Thank you

Hi there, Getting a new kitchen fitted and my new oven is rated 16A and 3.6kW. The current oven is a 13A plug into a plug socket under worktop, to a switch above worktop, to a dedicated 32A MCB all connected with grey 6mm cable. Am I correct in thinking I will need to replace the plug socket...

Morning all :) OK, so my toilet has started to make a dreaded whistling noise when refilling the cistern post flush which only makes me assume its the inlet? Also, it's started to run as it just reaches the limit (but not fully as I can hear a constant water stop/start but seems to stop if I...

You what? Yeah one of my to-do-lists is to get a ladder able to get me up there as I have 3m high ceilings. I've not touched any of my lighting, it was these downlights from when I moved in (has the same in the kitchen area). The flat was bought and rented since its inception by the...

Thanks EFL - that's twice you'e helped me out now! Yes exactly that, I'm allowed to use the loft and gain access but do not own it and have no right to amend it. Did you miss out a link or reference?

Hi all, So I've owned my new-ish build flat for just over two years now (built 2003). I absolutely love it and it is very well insulated. However... One thing I've always noticed is if I keep my bathroom door open the flat gets ALOT colder, but shut and it keeps a constant temperature. After...

Thanks. I don't need the dishwasher... now, but I'm thinking about a new kitchen and may in the future. To me it would just be future proofing. No, owned mate, it's my first property. You're telling me. The dishwasher is under worktop end of the length, the switches for the FCU's are the...

Thank you all for the advice. I think even trying anything with the FCU sounds like a real mare. I think if I'm right it sounds like this is the best option: removing and disconnect the dishwasher, cutting a hole in the wall large enough to get sight of the circuit cables, splicing and using...

Yes, sorry, FCU. Do you reckon I'd have to cut a big hole to get sight of the circuit wire? Petrified of cutting massive holes in walls. Would I use a Junction box to spur off? Thanks

Hello all, Been using these forums for a while as a voyeur but first time posting a question. I have a new-ish build apartment (built 2003) where my kitchen consists of above worktop sockets (x2) and then fused sockets for appliances (hob, extractor, fridge and dishwasher) all leading to a...
