Thanks for the replies - I like option C, you're right I'm not losing the £180 it's an investment in a decent job!

1-0 to the pro

a) tile my own kitchen floor, having never laid a tile before, saving £180. b) let the pro do it and lose £180. Basically, will I be able to pull it off? It's onto UFH just to make it a little more awkward.

Thanks everyone who chipped in, much appreciated.

My big draws are washer, Hoover, kettle, microwave and fridge freezer. Everything else is small fry in comparison

Thanks for the input, John. I do agree that it's no ideal for everything to be on that 30a circuit, but I don't envisage running at that level very often. It's a small 2 bed semi with 2 occupants but appliances soon add up I guess. Dan

Here is the intention - Wall socket with 3 cables (ring final) - - - - FCU 13a switched - - - - double socket - - - - UFH Load as I said would only ever be 3050w max. 13a will give 3120w, so just inside the max. It is a spur off a spur but as the FCU is going in supply side before the...

No probs

On the box itself it's called a residual current operated circuit breaker. The power point switch at the same box is noted at 30a type 2.

Mine says type 2 under all the switches.

I have a Residule current operated circuit breaker. The power sockets are protected by a 30a fuse. The nearest socket does indeed have 3 cables so I'm thinking this is a spur of that socket.

2.5mm. Mcb 30a. I can't see where the cable comes from but it appears to come up out of the floor, it's on the same breaker as all power sockets in the house, except the cooker. How can I tell if it's a radial?

Definitely not a ring, has a supply but does not have anything going back round to the mcb.

I have a power socket which currently supplies a washing machine (2300w). The socket appears to be the end of a radial circuit. I wish to add underfloor heating (750w) to this socket. I am considering adding a 13a FCU before the socket supplying the washer then running on to the underfloor...

Any advice?

Here is a floor plan of the room to be tiled. Door A is an under stairs cupboard, the door sits approx 2 inches above the untiled floor. Door B leads to the living room and sits approx 2 inches off the floor - the gap is filed by carpet in the living room. My question is do i have to close...

Hi all, I'm looking to tile a kitchen floor myself and have recently ripped up the original floor tiles. I noticed that at the entrance to my living room the tiles were sitting on a good inch of adhesive in order for them to meet the level of the living room and also the bottom of the doors...

It's just like plaster - so it leaves a powder on your hand if you rub it. In fact is it just plaster but a white one? When the door was put in I think they used it to fill the gaps.
