Hi All. We're currently re-fitting the kitchen and I want to install underfloor heating. The current floor is concrete but i'm worried about the additional height acheived by all the required parts. Insulation board adhesive, 6mm of insulation board, 3mm thickness of heat mat, then the...

What are the warm up times like on those though, the ones I have in my shop although brighter take a time to warm up. I want instant light. And even so, they are still more expensive to run than the LED's although I can see that you wouldn't need as many.

Nice work Can I ask, how much did you have to pay to get rid of the asbestos cement roof sections from the garage, as I wouldn't mind doing the same.

The main part of the kitchen doesnt have any wall units as there are two large windows.

On another note, I do agree with your "spares" comments. Do you think it would be better to go down the standard fitting route with a 9w LED GU10 / MR16 which CAN be replaced.

Pendants, erm, no way, lighting of this type in a kitchen is so so poor. In a living area, bedroom etc, yes fine, I will not be blitzing the house with holes! However in the kitchen I want good work light. I could go down the hallogen downlighter route and fit it all out for a hundred...

Well it's not really. It's more i want to use downlights as the start up time on CFL's is annoying and dimming them doesnt actually save any money. SO, I was going down the hallogen downlight route, I was looking at 13 for the kitchen. 3.2m x 5m in a 3 x 2 x 3 x 2 x 3 formation. BUT, I...

Kitchen is solid oak and was £2800 not including appliances, We have opted for Quartz worktops and these will be an additional £2200 approx. Ive now put the stud wall in and taken the cupboard out, I will upload some photos later.

HI Apps So if I have no under cupboard lights, would you suggest 2 x 18w?

This is it, to start with HD / composite for sky but I don't want to be left with a situation where i want to add something and cant.

I was talking more about audio / video than power. Power will be taken from the new kitchen circuit and will be separate from the video feed. The ceilings comimg down so new power is not a problem.

HI Aptsys Thanks for the info. We wont be having any wall units on the main worktop runs as there are windows, so what would you suggest?

Hi All, I'm just about to refit the kitchen / dining room and we are going to wall mount a 27 / 32" TV. The TV will be mounted on an outside wall below an upstairs bedroom, do you think it would be a wise idea to run the cables through a conduit of some sort into the ceiling void, so IF I...

Ahh, the Part P reply. I knew it would come lol! I will do the initial install, cable runs, etc all to spec, but all will be checked by a qualified electrician before HE installs the new CU and signs it off. I'm not that stupid! I hope :lol:

Hi All. I'm in the process of re-fitting my kitchen. Currently there is an old Wylex Fuse Board and only 1 ring throughout the whole house + the cooker feed. I'm thinking it would be best practice to put in a new ring or radial to the kitchen, one for the sockets (theres only one at...

12 for £20 NICE! I'm in the process of refitting my kitchen and do like the idea of this style of lighting. Can I ask you a couple of questions. 1. is 1 x 18w per unit enough? 2. Where did you get the dimmable ballasts. 3. What do you find the best position for the lights? Did you...

Mmm, note to self. Put sockets for intergrated appliances behind adjacent unit!

Just a photo for you guys of the finished work. The match is near perfect and I recon with a bit of weathering you wont even notice it!

Well things are moving on now so I thought I would start some updates as things progress. I got a quote from a local builder to remove the back door, brick and block up, supply and install 1 window, remove the internal wall and make good. He wanted £2500! I laughed at him. Before we...

HI Guys Popped to EHSmith yesterday as they had all 4 of the series in stock. The Windsor was far too red, and the Ironstone is very yellow, definetely what they used in next doors conservatory. However the Milton Buff and the Brecken Grey look like the best matches. I think I will...
