Notr sure without having another look but you could fit your finger in the gap. I could also feel some sort of metal bracket attached to the plasterboard and joist which i think is creating the gap. As i have two lights currently on the ceiling, should split the circuit up?

No its not falling down lol. Maybe to do with acoustics?

My next project is to install 15 x Aurora IP65/firerated 240v spots in my bathroom. I live in new build (7yrs old) 1st floor flat hence the need for fire rated lights. Although im not an electrician (I have no experience in residential electrical work and in fact moved away from the tools...

thanks for the info. Couple of questions - what impact will screwing down the floating acoustic layer have on its ability to do its acoustic job? I would like to use this opertunity to install the cable type electric underfloor heating and would need to keep the same floor height as i have...

Hi Foxhole, Not sure how thick the chipboard floor is without pulling it up. The ply is approx 17mm, i have measured in situ and its pratically the same thickness as the T&G chipboard that is bonded on top. I agree it seems the wrong way round. What should i do?

Hi all, Here goes, i live on the first floor (flat) of a new build (5 yrs ago) converted granary. My bathroom is ceramic tiled and over the last 2 yrs a number of tiles have started to crack. I decided to contact the developers to find out what the floor I'm made up from and It turns out i...

The duct is a common duct for the bathroom and hob extractor. The building was built 5 years ago (nothing to do with me) with NHBC certification which is worrying. I haven't had any problems with smells contaminating the bathroom though. Yes the duct is a solid plastic pipe - probably...

The pipe is only carrying air from the the cooker/bathroom extractors. Surface mounts are an option but not really what I'm looking for. LED's are also an option but expensive and i already have LV downlights to use. I did think that 60mm clearance would be fine.

I would like to install 6 x downlights into a box section that contains a plastic duct that runs down the back of my lounge for the bathroom/cooker ventilation. ( I have added a couple of pictures to my profile album if you would like to see what I'm on about) It measures 24cm High x 12cm...

I agree but I need to purchase 20 hinges so it gets expensive, especially as I can’t find them for less than £5 each. Is there any alternative brands I can search for? Neil

Im trying to locate a cheaper alternative to blum 45deg cross corner hinges for a kitchen corner cabinet with flush doors. Any sugestions please? Thanks Neil

The reason i thought 2x2 was ok is because the length of the self is 150cm so the 2x2 would offer a little more support?

Hi, I will be using 2x2 for the side and rear supports (free material) and wondered what the best practice is for fixing into the walls. Should the screw head sit halfway into the 2x2 or just flush? appoligies for such a simple question but i want it to be correct. :D Thanks
