Just adding a bit more, this would be in our kitchen and hallway (for now). The other idea is when it's nice and sunny in the day, we don't necessarily want the heating. However as soon as the sun goes down, a bit of heat is required. Therefore the floor would act as a heat store to release...

Hi All, I have a new(ish) build home and we're at the point we need a new floor downstairs. The previous tiles cracked due to the concrete not being perfectly flat (installed by the builder 7 years ago), so we need a floor screed before tiles (or maybe Karndean). It's a 2017 house, so well...

Hi All I'm looking to board my loft in my new build house (well 3 years old), and so far have installed a new larger loft hatch with pull down steps. I'm also getting an electrician to install a socket and light. I was going to use the loftzone system to install, but this is turning out to be...

Just to add, it's now all done. The on-site electrician would have run a spur from the tumble drier, as I'm not using that - he mentioned he would add in a 3 amp fuse. Either way, I've had a 50amp circuit put in by my electrician and got a second CU in the garage! Now I have two ring mains, and...

And a further update... it's not done yet and the driveway is now finished. I am also told now it will only be an extension of the utility/kitchen ring main, and will only be 3 amp - so only a light then. Not what I want (I've told them not to bother) So I've now asked an electrician in to put...

Just to update you all, electric to the garage was an extra which I didn't pay for. It was ripped out as it wasn't to regs which is fair enough. However, they are putting it in for free! And it looks like they are going to rip up the drive to do it. woop woop...

There is a gap in the cavity. It is a timber framed house, and the insulation is within the timber frame - I have photos of it being built. The suspicious thing is just a shadow... Just reading about electric cars, it appears 32 amp is good enough. Anything higher has to be a 3 phase, and...

It's just the hard-core level so far. It is tarmac, so is hard it's just they won't do the final tarmac level for a month or so when they finish the road. I won't be able to dig that up unless I hire a digger - which I don't want to do. At least I now have an understanding of whats required -...

Well I was thinking of it travelling in the cavity. I guess that's a no no then...

Hi all, thanks for your replies. The consumer unit was in the far side of the garage (it is a double side by side garage), and I think it went under the drive diagonally. I did ask them to leave the garage as an office, but they refused. I'm guessing because the electrics were a temporary...

Hi All, after some advice regarding a new build property. I am buying a house where the garage was previously the sales office, which had electrics. Now they have moved out, all electrics have also been ripped out and the garage doesn't even have a supply at all. I've attached two photos below...
