Oh dear I ma sorry looks like I have totally confused the whole issue! Maybe a diagram would help? I would thermaline the exterior wall as its single block, maybe get it plastered and tile from floor to mid point using small tiles? I would then build three stud walls using...

Hi guys, many thanks for the replies. Initially I am just wanting to know if I would be wasting my time using 27mm Gyproc thermaline on the exterior wall (I have used it throughout on the exterior walls on the ground floor), I was then going to fix marmox/wedi or similar on to that? Would...

Hi Just need to attach an outsiide light to the lighting ring? I have a ceiling rose which has 1 pendant light. I have traced an additional 1mm T&E to the 1 way light switch. The outside light is to be connected to this switch, there will therefore be 1 red, 1 black, 1 brown, 1 blue and 2...

Hi Really appreciate the replies, thanks very much! Unfortunatetly the floor space is non existent as its a stairway :? I suppose I could route alongside but would mean drilling through joists so wanted to find the 'easiest' way :D

Any advice on new proposal of routing please! :?

Oh, looks less straight fwd than I thought! :? Would this be a better way?

Hi Excuse the drawing! Taking into consideration regulations and safe zones would I be able to route the cables as shown? Or would they have to get routed along the downstairs ceiling and up through the corner? Hope this makes sense! Thanks for any help!

Thanks for a very concise answer :) As I understand it then, I can route the cables between the wall and roof as long as it is no more than 150mm from ceiling? I guess with the plasterboard in place it would actually be in the ceiling (if that makes sense?) Adding a light? Best to...

Hi After a bit of advice & guidance if possible please? I need to install 2 pendants light and both will have two switches attached. My first question would be should I connect this to the existing lighting circuit or as I have availability in the current CU to make a new circuit...

Hi really appreciate the replies however, I think a lot has been lost from OP? I will try and answer below :? Cables where coiled and taped & all electrics working apart from removed socket and one light. I haven't reconnected cables. As above Once all electrical work has been done...

Thanks for replies The work was completed whilst we were on holiday. The builder had to get an electrician in to cut wires in order to cut joists and install staircase. We returned with staircase in and the wires that needed moving coiled with insulating tape at the ends. The electrician...

Hi everyone During the course of our renovations, the sparky had to cut wires to make room for a new staircase. One of the cables (T&E) connected to a MCB on the CU is now available to be moved elsewhere, I have conncted a 2 gang socket to this. My first question is can I extend a radial...

Hi thanks for the info' guys Didn't want this thread to start any er, 'debates'. No cables to be routed through these particular walls, so no issue there. Think it will be 400mm studs with 1200 x 2400 12.5mm plasterboard and 100mm No. 5 screws & rockwool insulation then :D Looking at...

Wow, thanks for the very propt and helpful replies. The walls are for a newly fitted staircase, it will basically be the wall for a bedroom if that makes any difference? What would be the best screws for 47 x 75 sawn wood, was thinking 70mm No. 5's?
