Hi Not sure if I'm posting this in the right section but here goes. Just installing a new kitchen, will be getting a gas hob fitted by registered fitter eventually but need some advice about the worktop upstand. I know some regulations have changed so can the laminate upstand run the...

Thanks again for all your help

Just had a thought, will having the 2 90 deg elbows cause any problems with supply pressure? have a Megaflow setup if that makes any difference. Thanks

Thanks for all yor help

Also I read something in the forum's about a double check valve, currently there isn't one, do I need to install one? The house is only 8 years old, should it already have one?

Ok thanks. So no problem with 90 deg elbow just above floor level, 300 - 400mm of mdpe another 90 deg elbow, mdpe into stopcock?

Does that mean I shouldn't push it back to the wall once it's entered the property?

this is what i'm hoping to do, taking ring from existing socket round conservatory then back to link to existing ring.

extending the ring to feed to sockets in new conservatory, wiring goes out through the back of the socket into conservatory. it's just the easiest place to cable from, without distrupting the rest of the house

Are these crimp connectors the preferred way to join electrical conductors? i'm just about to extend my ring main and need to connect two cables in double socket i'm extending from.

moving the master socket or nte should be straight forward, there should only be two conductors coming into the house which can be terminated either way round onto the screw terminals on your nte. problems begin when you have other extensions from the junction box or nte. let me know if i can...

Need to start plastering my now complete conservatory, what preparation should i use plastering thermalites? should an undercoat plaster be used (if so which) or would a sand and cement mix be better
