I've already insulated the ceiling and its not really going to be possible to go up tbh.

Hi Had a visit from the Building Control people today. I am in the process of building an extension which will house a kitchen and a utility room and they want me to put in an extractor fan in both rooms 60 l p/sec for the kitchen and 30 l p/sec for the utility room. The kitchen itself will...

Follow up question on the sink regarding the worktop. Should the worktop flow around the sink ie top of sink higher than the worktop? Or should the worktop sit on top of the rim of the sink? Thinking about cleaning here, if the sink rim is above then cleaning should be easier as i could mastic...

So is the lighting cable hard wired into the starter?

Awesome, that makes it easier

Hi Getting a fitted kitchen which will have 3 runs of LED under counter lights, one of left side, one on right side and one on island so these cannot be connected together as they are separate. Is it possible to cable each set back to a normal wall lighting on/off switch so that these can be...

Hi Building an extension and doing the first fix, I have all of the plumbing in already (feeds) but need to put in the hole in the wall for the sink waste. There is nothing in at the moment as it is a fitted kitchen. I am not too sure where to drill the hole for the sink waste, I do not have it...

i think that what i will do is install a double socket and a slim satellite feed socket. The reason for the double socket is we use powerline and maybe at some point the tv might need internet access as wifi is pretty rubbish in my place. Thanks for all the help here guys, appreciate it

Yeah i think i need to look into the bracket a bit more re the sizing etc, not sure at the moment what size tv to be fair so the positioning of it will be key. Still a bit unsure as to what to do about power, i know i have to get it up to the tv level (there will be a corresponding one below...

I'm wondering about this bracket and whether these actually exist. I want something that will go flat to the wall but will be able to be pulled out to 90 degrees to the left so that the tv can be viewed from the left but also need it so that i can be viewed from the right as well, is there such...

Yeah once i have decided on a solution i will ensure that there are extra noggins etc to take the weight, it will not be hanging off of the plasterboard. So what we are suggesting here is to put the bracket up, the put in a socket (single) for the power lead and another for the satellite feed...

Hi I have a stud wall and her indoors wants a tv mounted on it, this would be on a full range bracket so that i can be spun around to be viewed from either side (i think you can get these). I want to do this the best way so that cables are more or less hidden ie power and satellite cables...

Yes will be a registered electrician, i've purchased a couple of connection units and mine are very similar but they dont have the slightly sticking out bit. Looking on the internet it would appear that you have to manually break the bottom of these to fit the cable? Is this correct?

It was a general inquiry regarding the connection for the hard wired oven. Its going to go in a new extension and was curious to how these connect. From what i have seen, the hard wired cookers have a connection plate on the back, in the wall there will be a connection plate inside a special...

Hi all My new kitchen will be getting a hard wired oven which I assume means that it won't be a plug in one, what would be there instead of plug hole? Is it just a blanking plate where the connection is inside the box, does this have a face plate with a hole in it? Ive not seen these before Lee

Hi All I am getting a new fitted kitchen in a new extension, currently it has studs installed at 400m centres. All of the units that are being installed will be at worktop level and high level so I would need to install noggins across the whole length to carry these. This would be two noggins...

Hi all Really odd question here, i am in the process of building an extension that will house a kitchen. Obviously when the electrics are in and the plasterboard goes up there will be a requirement for plastering but the question is, should i get behind the units plastered? The reason i ask is...

Hi I need to put up some 70mm timbers into celcon blocks which will be used as studwork for 12mm plasterboard What length/size screws would i need for this? i was thinking 100mm but wanted to check

Thats awesome Second (follow up) question regarding the support of this worktop. I've not measured it at all the run has enough room for washing machine, then sink and then tumble dryer. This theoretically means that the worktop will have nothing to sit on top of. Can you buy the small...

Hi All Currently looking into installing a butler/belfast sink in a utility room and im not too sure how the worktop will work. Wife have already bought the sink and its huge (80cm wide ish) probably around 50cm deep. The question is, does one normally purchase the worktop and then cut the...
