Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not sure I totally understand though. The current cable goes from the light switch inside the house under plaster and outside. There is no other terminal for it. I'd prefer to do all this inside switch box if possible, and without the need for any plastering...

I have a 3 pole switch box in my hallway. Two of these are also wired to a 2 pole switch upstairs so the landing light and hallway light can be switched on from either upstairs or downstairs. The third pole of the switch is for outside security lights. Trouble is the missus keeps knocking...

Thanks. I'll hang on and see how you get on for now. Good luck. I did hunt some out at one builders merchant but they were very square - I really want bull-nosed stuff to match my existing.

I cant give you any advice unfortunately, but I have the same thing to do myself. I was going to cut the notches out of the back, but you've tried that. Can I ask where you got the Flexi MDF skirting from - I've not seen it at Wickes? Let me know how you get on - I look forward to seeing...

Thanks for that. I've had a look at the liberon website but there are so many I'm not sure what you mean. I dont suppose you could find what I need and post a link could you? Also, can this be applied after the event, or does it have to be in place when the mitres are pushed together and...

Chaps, If it helps any I went and had a better look at how they had done it in the showroom. Was screwed in place from underneath. OK, so you can see the screw heads, but only if you were <3ft tall or were sitting on the floor. I think I'll probably go down that route unless you come up...

Thanks The wall units do not have sides that extend below the base of the units. So the pelmet (or whatever we are going to call it from now on) will go all the way along the bottom under the units. The sides or the units have been replaced with a glossy decor side rather than the usual...

Sounds like what I had and fixed with the help of the chaps on here. http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20053&highlight=

OK. I will try to get down to Wickes and get a picture, and have a better look at how they are fitted there, and try to get a photo at the same time. Its the Atlanta kitchen if anyone happens to be down there themselves. There's no way they could be mounted the other way round though - its...

Ah, I think I understand why I dont understand :) The Pelmets I have are about 8cm thick, but only about 1.5 cm high. I'm assuming the ones you are referring to are the much higher ones which is why you can get a bracket behind them. Does that make sense to you both? If so, how do I go about...

Thanks All, I've took the machine out and levelled it of a bit and it seems better, however in doing so the rubber on the feet has torn away, leaving it resting on the metal foot under the rubber. I'm therefore going to order some new feet for it to hopefully rectify the problem. Trouble is...

Thanks, I'm a bit confused about the angled brackets though - are you on about using that for attaching the peices of pelmet together or for attaching to the underside of the unit? Maybe I'm thinking of different brackets to you but I cant see how I could use them to attach it to the underside...

Thanks, will try to get hold of some. What is the best way to attach it to the base of the units - glue or screw into place? My instructions for the kitchen dont really say anything. If I glue, just No More Nails? Thanks

Thanks. Its on a concrete floor with Quarry tiles on it, and it isn't 100% level. Maybe that is all it is, I was just amazed the sink unit vibrated so much when there was no physical contact. Am a bit worried it is always going to vibrate the sink unit with there being nothing between the...

I'm just fitting a new kitchen and have just tried using the washing machine for the first time, which was a bit of a disaster. When the spin started the kitchen sink and drainer started to vibrate and jump like crazy, rattling everything on it around and even loosening the taps. I have the...

I've fitting my kitchen at present and next job will be the pelmets. Not shure how they normally are but mine are thin strips that need joining using mitre joins. Can I get a glossy white colorseal to mask any imperfections in the mitre joins, or should I use something else. When I did my...

Gary, I thought I'd let you know how I got on, and maybe give you a few pointers from one novice to another. Basically I'm pretty happy with the joints. They fit 99% perfectly, but the colorseal masks the other 1% pretty well. It was also pretty time consuming in the end - not really sure...

Cheers. That helps a lot. I'll see if I can get a better cutter. If I cant I'll have to make best of what I have.

Sorry, to hijack the thread Gary but I've a couple of queries now that I have started practicing. "7)..Make sure the cutter is cutting OUT of your finished join line. That is when pulling the cutter towards you, it should be cutting clockwise, coming out of the finished cut. " I'm...

My worktops are the block wood effect type anyway, so in that case I will just use the floor filler. Is this waterproof etc too? Cheers
