Thanks rocky. I will speak to the suppliers tomorrow and see what they can do. I think I will go for the 600 by 600 diffusers where I can get them to fit and adjustable none fire rated spotlights where I need to have directrional lighting. Cant find anything that suggests that I need fire...

Anybody??? D

Do the heights apply of the sockets are sat in plastic skirting trunking? What is the purpose of stipulating the socket heights? Sorry, just being nosey!! D

Thanks. I noticed when I removed an architrave the other day that the socket cable was joined with insulation tape and covered pver with the architrave. It is/was going back the same way!! D

Just out of interest what is so bad about concealing a joint in a cable? D

Any further advice guys (and girls?)? Thanks D

Havent bought the lights yet but the head height might be a little resticted for surface mounted lights. D

Yes, its an estate agent office. As you say the ceiling has been fitted to the existing plaster ceiling which sits on the underside of the joists of the flat above. The old ceiling is completely intact. Does this mean I dont need fire ratedfitings? Effectively its a retail shop that has...

I have just had a suspended ceiling fitted in my new office premises (well new to me anyway) but I am struggling on deciding which are the most suitable lights. I need to illuminate the middle of the office and have 7 directional lighting sets illuminating the walls (where the displays hang)...

I can get to the winder, just. About 5 million turns raises it an inch!!! Hence wanting to power it up!!! D

Yes the access point is before the switch but I can see the cable that goes to the switch. Presumably this cable could be joined to activate it?? There is a way to manually raise it but again I will have to disnatle the shutter box. Not the end of the world but rather do it without if its...

Only if I strip the shutter box off. I can get access to the cables that feed the motor as there is a JB inside where the cables must join the supply and go to the switch. Thats why I was wondering whether I could bypass at this point and get the motor to wind the shutter up. I would have to...

I think getting the power on is going to be the biggest problem. You naky have spotted from oneof my other threads that the whole electric supply is coming out soon. Its shared with the farm house and I will have a single phase supply put in. I have a feeling that this circuit is one of the...

Unsure to be honest whether its 3 phase or single phase. The supply to the barn is 3 phase so I guess it is?? I cant find how the outhouse is supplied and I havent to date been able to get the power on. There doesnt seem to be any sort of panel other than the key switch an d the JB mounted...

I have an electric roller shutter on an outbuilding at the new place we are buying. There is a key switch outside mounted on the wall that you are supposed to use to activate the shutter. Unfortunately the key is nowhere to be found and therefore I am unable to get the shutter to raise. I...

Thanks gents. I have Visio somewhere so I may take alook at that. I have now done the plan in a very basic home designer piece of software and have managed to get it printable onto A4. I think I will scan it as an image and add the bits and pieces I need using MSPaint. D

That would work..... A piece of ply over the top and you have a coffee table.... D

Got no 'm' yet. Just planning what I want where. No point in me putting a cooker in a place that it couldnt possibly be supplied by the oil is there?? D

Cheers D

Cheers. A general plumber should be able to do this or do you need CORGI?? D
