The product I used was Crown Trade Covermatt http://www.crowntrade.co.uk/en/Products/Essentials/Covermatt+Emulsion/ The walls are newly skimmed with Thistle multi finish plaster.

I have newly plastered walls. In the past I have noticed that after painting the walls with 2/3 coats of good quality white emulsion that the point where the ceiling and wall meet around the perimeter of the room the paint looks thinner. Is it standard practise to paint these edges 1st...

I've 200m2 of newly plastered walls in my flat and my plasterer recommended Gyproc Easi-Fill http://www.british-gypsum.bpb.com/products/plasterboard___accessories/gyproc_accessories/gyproc_easi-fill.aspx I'm yet to apply my mist coat to my newly plastered walls so I will see how I get on...

Cheers. Basically it doesn't set hard and fast rules over the type of equipment that can be installed in Zone 3, it simply says:- Regulation 601-08-01 does not preclude the installation of such equipment in zone 3. However, the general requirements of BS 7671 are applicable to...

Seems reasonable. Is there a list of acceptable 'fixed' appliances 'allowed' within zone 3? The info I located earlier just says 'No portable appliances'

I also think the use of a FSU will change the TV over to a 'fixed' appliance if that's the correct expression. I wonder if there is a concise definition of 'Portable electrical equipment' in electrical regulation speak. I've been to a number of bathrooms where they have a regular hairdryer...

All the power outlets are on RCD protection (not lighting) No Supplementary bonding as it's all in Hep20 ? :?:

It's on an RCD protected circuit.

Yeah warehouse conversion - jacuzzi, lcd screen, Huge bed .... cue Barry White's greatest hits :lol: I'm installing Air con in the room but an extractor fan is doable if required as the bath is against an outside wall.

I'm putting a large freestanding jacuzzi in the bedroom 8) For purposes of complying with regulations I am treating the bedroom as a bathroom and apply all the zonal requirements. My only slight glitch is my LCD TV which will fall within zone 3. Zone 3 The regulations do not specify...

Thanks for the responses to this thread. Going to go for a big double ended bath instead ..... The women's netball team will just have to form an orderly queue and wait their turn 8)

Dry weight = 110kg approx Operating capacity = 600 litres (It's a round bowl shape) Not sure of the additional weight for occupants taking into account that water will also get displaced by the addition of bodies either way Im pretty sure it will not break the 1 tonne mark

It's going in a 1st first floor flat on a suspended timber floor. The inside dimension of the flat wall to wall is 6.5m X 7.5m The timber joists are supported in the middle by an RSJ which spans 6.5m. The RSJ is fixed into the external walls either side, onto what I believe are described...

I'm looking to purchase a bath/hot tub 1800X1800 600 deep. I've seen quotes of a tonne in weight when it's fully loaded. Do I need to involve a structural engineer before splashing out? :lol:

To summarize where we are at: I'm looking for a heated 1800mm towel rail The stainless steel hand rails are similar in look to my requirement. To get it heated we need to connect the rail to the central heating circuit It's basically tube sealed at both ends so if we can get water...

Like your thinking, Could it be done that simply?

What if the entry/exit were on the top :wink:

Completely pointless asking a question I've already answered in my original suggestion to Kevplumbs question. Why not say you dont think it's possible to do it that way(others may disagree) but here's the clever bit ...... you then answer kevplumbs question by suggesting a method that...

I used to think that (when i was small) but now I know "3.11.3 Venting The boiler is fitted with an automatic air vent."
