Thanks for that, yeah I think I will leave the reveals for the plasterer - it isn't like I don't have plenty of other jobs to do! Talking of window shelves/cills (what is the right term?), these are my windows - In fact the frame covers the outer leaf of the wall, so I can only...

Thanks for the replies. Do you think I would be better to leave the window reveals for the plasterer to board out then so that they can get them plumb and the right distance off the blockwork? Equally the window shelf - leave that til after plastering? I see your point about running cables in...

Should window boards be wood or plaster board? Obviously the 'shelf' I plan to do in mdf, but what about the sides and top of the window recess? Would you normally plaster into the window recess? Essentially what I have at the moment is the bare blocks of the inner leaf, then the cavity (there...

Be gentle with me here, as I have a lot to learn! :) We are currently extending and have had professional builders build a waterproof shell. I am doing first fix electrics and plumbing (with assistance from a couple of buddies in those trades) in preparation for bringing in a pro plasterer to...

Perfect - I hadn't found those connectors yet and that might be the answer..... otherwise I will sleeve it. Thank you :)

Will a WC connect directly to a 110mm ring seal branch T socket? Reason I ask is that I have a horizontal run of soil pipe in the floor void with the WC connection at a branch T poking vertically up through the floor boards (new build) in the right place..... will the WC just drop straight into...

Brilliant suggestion! a very obvious solution - thank you. Should I suggest and expect the builder to pay for and organise that?

I wonder if one of the trades could offer some advice here - we are currently having some building work done under a fixed price contract (all agreed up front) where the builder is building a waterproof shell, externally finished for fitting out by others..... all simple stuff. As part of that...

:lol: no, not that Larry Lamb :D

Anyone got a view on this please?

Thats very good! I have done a sketch myself and uploaded it here - this is it: Hopefully this makes it a little clearer :? and is very close to scale drawn - the layout is right within a gnats whisker. Essentially I am looking at doing two straight runs within the floor void to collect...
