    Trying to find downlights for a sloped bathroom ceiling

    Hmm, you could well be right. :s These are the slopes. What I might have to do is have a couple of downlights in the straight part of the ceiling, including over the shower area, and then wall lights or something for the others. :( Any other ideas?

    Trying to find downlights for a sloped bathroom ceiling

    It doesn't actually slope over the shower, that part is flat, but I want the same lights so they match on the flat and sloped. The slope does however go over the bath, so is in 'zone 1' anyway I believe.

    Wall mounted basins

    I really like the look of the wall mounted basins with the shiny visible bottle traps. I'm thinking of mounting it on a solid brick wall (single) of a terrace house. Do these things need frames, or is that just for internal flimsy stud walls? ...will brick walls normally be fine?

    Shower Tray/enclosure sizes.

    So I'm wondering, when the size of enclosures/trays are quoted. I have a tight space where I might be able to fit a 900mm, instead of 800mm depth shower enclosure. But I wanted to know, does the 900mm refer to the shower tray edge, or to where the shower panels fit into the tray? ie a...

    Board over existing ceiling or rip down and start fresh?

    Got a Victorian terrace which I'm renovating (not living in yet). The kitchen at the back needs new kitchen, with that I'm planning downlights into the ceiling (which is happening with a full rewire of the house anyway). I've had a look through the ceiling and there appears to be 2 layers of...

    Stud wall estimate of cost and/or how easy to DIY?

    Hi all, I require a stud wall building, not a big one, but I'm still very unsure of the likely cost. Any idea how much would (presumably a joiner) charge for building a 2.6wide x 2.4 high stud wall, with a door frame to go in it? All boarding/plastering will be done by a separate...

    Waste pipe fall angle

    Hi, I'm trying to gauge the feasibility of installing a shower cubicle to an inside wall, and moving the basin to that same wall. What I needed to know was whether it would have enough fall to get to the outside wall. That would be about 2 metres away front he shower & basin location. And...

    Hi. I have a few questions about combi boilers which I hope you can help with. Mostly around me trying to find the best place in my house to put it. At the moment, the favourite is to wall mount it in my utility room, over the washing machine & worktop. Other alternatives are bathroom...

    Electrics myself?

    I meant to thank everyone for their replies, sorry it's took so long, I've been so busy with this house! hehe I've had a quote for rewire, by a NIC/Part-P sparky, of about £2800, which seems reasonable. However, unfortunately my cousin just got made redundant, so I might go down the route of...

    Electrics myself?

    the part p is confusing to a newcomer ;) There is another option. My cousin is a very experienced electrician. But does commercial work, hence doesn't have part p. Are there any better options there. Like could I get him to do the wok, then local regs to sign off and approve it? Thanks for all...
