Me too we use Cisco at work and I use Netgear at home :lol:

Ah yes should have mentioned that around £130 I guess

Hi There I am after a decent router to add to my kit. I would like one man enough to cut worktops should the need arise. I heard Trend were good but I thought I would ask the experts :)

Thanks for the replies guys, I like the PVA and plaster trick on the holes I will use that. Just need a plasterer now :(

Hi All Silly question but I am about to replace my kitchen ceiling with new plasterboard, should I cut the holes for the downlighters before I have it plastered or wait till it is and then cut them?

Hi Guys Need a plasterer in Heathrow area for my kitchen ceiling which is 2.4m x 2m but can't find any on the local lookup? Rgds

Anyone know any good plasterers round the Heathrow area that would be able to help me out here?

Hi Steve Did not know if it was needed these days what with all the reg changes. But if it's ok to go with normal downlighters in the kitchen then I will go with that. I take it that they should have fire protection in the loft though is that correct? I thought as I was able to access it...

Hi All Currently have the kitchen ceiling down! and would like to make some changes to the downlighters that were there at the same time and looking for a bit of advice. There are currently 6 LV downlighters running off one large transformer, however what I want to do now is replace these...

Another question for you all if you will :) Should I be using a enhanced fire protection rated board as its the kitchen or just normal? Rgds

Is that with all mats and coving? Thanks guys shame you are not near me :D

Hi noseall What do you reckon price wise for a skim on it 2M x 2.4M & maybe add coving? Rgds Dave

Hi noseall Thanks for your response, was not sure if it was the done thing or not. Going to fix with screws then skim. Cheers

I was thinking of direct bonding so I did not need as much making good and thus avoiding having to skim as I can't plaster :-) http://www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/PLASTER_BOARDING_DIREcT_BOND.htm

Can I use adhesive to plasterboard my ceiling rather than screws or nails? The old lathe and plaster ceiling has now been pulled down so it would be directly on to the joists? Rgds Dave
