Ok thanks, Yet another thing, when the building inspectors comes to check the trench what is he looking for at the base of the trench (obviously not quicksand). The base of mine is made up of a lot of flint stones ( not the cartoon). Thanks

That's great thanks for your help. Also while I'm on the topic, what happens should it rain when I'm back filling with the concrete? I presume there's very little I can do other than cover it over?

Is that no its ok to carry on digging? How do you mean bottom up? Thanks

Just started digging my foundations and typical English weather it's started raining. Does it matter the fact the rain is getting down into the trench. They are not flooding but I'm just a bit concerned. Thanks

It will be the same side as the wc waste but will be below the 200mm mark anyway. I think I will run a separate run for downstairs waste to be safe. One last thing, should the pipe where it runs underground be led in the ground on a bed of sand or gravel or can it go direct in the dirt...

Thanks Hugh, that very helpful. Ok that makes sense to run a separate line in for downstairs wc. One last thing, my kitchen sink/ dishwasher etc waste, can i Still put this into the stack as well providing its not within tha 200mm you mentioned? Thanks

Thanks John, yes I have to agree the Niceic is by far the leader and would look nice on my van. I think Nappit is the cheapest and I can do reports straight out. Maybe once I have a few jobs behind me after a year or two I could change I suppose.

I'm after a 3 gang intermediate switch but wanted it on a single face plate. I know my best bet is probably grid and modules but this would then be over a double plate. Does anyone know of any on a single plate that are 3 gang? Or who can make them up for me. Thanks [/code]

Ok I will do them. Thanks for the advice ...

I'm about to fit a new hard wood floor in my hall in which the heating pipes run under the floor boards. Is it worth insulating these before I put the new floor down? It seems really quite expensive to do it and will I benefit that much from it? I need 30m in total... Where is the best and...

Thanks holmslaw. Thats great. I thought it was suppose to be a better way of using trunking as the earth continuity would be better due to possiblity of screws coming loose on pre made angles. No its a not a double set, at least I dont think so. This is the kind of what it will look like...

Hello all. I'm doing steel trunking at work at the mo and to be honest all I have ever really used is manufactured bends. Now I need to do it the proper way and make my own. I did it at college but that was a long time ago now. So what i'm doing is running 150x150mm trunking with the lid...
