Thanks all Also when I select installation wirh delivery for the dishwasher, how do I know if I need to get a plumber to do something first to the pipe work as the people before never had a dishwasher.

Thanks all How about this? I'll buy two of these https://www.screwfix.com/p/british-general-ip66-13a-1-gang-dp-weatherproof-outdoor-switched-socket/35096 And ask the sparky to install them on different circuits and place them under counter in the best possible positions. Would thus be a...

I read "DON’T use the washing machine and dishwasher at the same time as the loading will be more than 16 amps." I also read that a solution is to install 2 single sockets rather than a double socket? Would this prevent power overload? But isn't it still on the same circuit? Just different...

Thanks. Does a double socket like the one above with a dish washer in one socket and the washing machine in the other will the power in the sockets will be enough? Overall, the average dishwasher consumes between 1.2kWh and 1.5kWh per load The average washing machine is 2,100 watts, which is...

Thanks. Where is the draining board. Just worried water might get spilt on counter and go through the edge where the wall meets the worktop. I know the examples you mentioned. How about one of these? https://www.toolstation.com/bg-ip66-13a-switched-socket/p78539

Thanks wpuld rather avoid it there incase water somehow gets through to it from sink

Hi all Just wondering where would be the best place to put sockets for washing machine and dishwasher as want to have them away for any water or water splashes. Don't want them under the kitchen sink. The washing machine and dishwasher will go where the chair is (yes we are expanding the area...

Thanks. Doesn't seem to be any available to collect in IKEA, wicks, B and Q, Home base, Howdens , tool station,.

Hi all Im looking for a 70cm Base cabinet for sink + 2 doors but can only find 80cm. Which will work but would be better to fit if it was 70cm. Do 70cm ones even exist? If anyone has any links to one available to collect in Scotland ie at Howdens, B and Q or IKEA that would be amazing...

Thanks the only thing the home report says is this

How do I know if the seller had planning permission for the loft and adding those ladders you can see.

So as it is it is not illegal? Is it illegal to add metric sockets to it as it is? It has lights in there already from before we bought it last week just no sockets.

Thanks how about a lime based breathable white anti mould paint. Although how to find one is the problem.

Is it not already a loft conversion? A big empty loft with carpet and a window? Abiet with a ladder? Or will it only become an illegal loft conversion if we fit stairs to it?

If its just to make it safe is it still an illegal loft conversion?
