Could somebody tell me where the cable enters in these modern lights, If I remember correctly last time we had to take a tube light down in a garage the cable entered the light to one side rather than in the middle, is this still the case or do they very from light to light, if I bought one with...

Thank you, my main concern in the first place was one light or two, while the ceiling was down, cable could have been left in place and connected up when the time came from my daughters bedroom, all the electrics run down the middle of one floorboard for the kitchen, lobby and bathroom, now I...

Thanks for those links guys, most of the houses I work in seem to have bespoke kitchens fitted to customer requirements, a ceiling full of about 20 spot lights all round with under unit lighting, show-piece type kitchens, not "I'm home now , where's me bloody tea" type kitchen mine will be :lol...

Thankyou Tickly T, was hoping for something a bit more fancy than a tube as the main light, as you say they're a bit industrial looking, that's was what I was afraid of that the spots were basically like torches pointing straight down, especially the downlighters, that why I was hoping that the...

After some advice please, doing up my kitchen and want some advice about suitable celing lights, the ceiling is only 2.53m x 2.25m so not a big celing, it's only ever had one pendant with a 100 watt bulb in it, but it is a fairly high at 2.65m . I wish to modernise the kitchen but don't want...

Got to disagree on that one, it works as half microwave half fan /convection oven, you can get two proper crispy jackets done in 25 mins , less if they're smaller potatoes, :D are potatoes even worth saving these days, nearly given up buying them from the farms around here, I like reds but all...

It will look a very unbalanced kitchen If I don't, it's a bit more cosmetic than needing a light under the units, but as I said 98% of the time the heat is not a problem at all, just the missus and daughter are rather fond of jacket potatoes so for that odd 20 minutes of heat maybe once or twice...

Any good advice available on suitable under kitchen lighting, my situation is that I have one slight problem unit that 98% of the time will be no problem at all but it's the 2% I'm worried about. I will be having a light fitted under 3 different units , two no problem at all the other unit...

There are no horizontal runs being used, one vertical run only. If it's not permissible, then it will have to be surface mounted to one side of the room, then to get to the oven space it would have to be surface mounted horizontally below worktop level , you can't have a surface mounted gas pipe...

I'll have a word with Steve who is employed to design systems for all there work and is right up on all the Regs and interpretations of them, the only possible part that it could have any issues with is part (1) , but that about as double dutch and ambiguous as it can be, take suitable...

Can you please point me to the gas regs coverage part, that I can't find or I'm looking in the wrong place, I've seen copper gas pipes chased into walls flush with the blockwork then plastered over, my situation is more thought out and a lot safer than that scenario,If I can't meet requirements...

Your welcome to ask, I have nothing to hide, no I'm not doing the work, I'm just getting all the stuff for the best possible job that I can, not every gas regged plumber carries around the equipment to be able to thread 1/2" steel, yes they can all get it done for you,I've gone the other route...

Thank you doitall ,I've just found a fleabay seller doing 150m rolls for £7 delivered, by the time I've driven about and located a small roll ,I'll be no better off, might as well let it come to me :)

Should stock it, follow your own link and see what it says, from my end it come up as not available to order online and nowhere in a 20 mile radius of me has any in stock and the whole of toolstation doesn't stock it, most online retailers want more to post it than it costs in the first place :(

Thanks for the replies , sorry pipe will be holding gas, it's going to be done in barrel for the simple reason that my house only has a party wall that's solid 4" red brick (fact not a guess), it might well be overkill at the moment as my neighbours house is complete their side of the wall with...

What is the best joint sealant for tapered steel joints. The Pipe will be chased into a wall so will be permanent and not really accessible . What is the best method and reasons why. I've done lots of reading and all have there benefits or downfalls, one post went on for 9 pages once the...

Got an old Worcester 240 BF that I know is getting past it, tonight the little screw inside the Central heating bypass valve just decided to start leaking, at first the odd drip, now a steady trickle, its just a little threaded plug inside the valve basically, is there anything that can be done...

Because there will be a gas pipe in the wall, and insulated board would then make it a cavity wall, plus I've got several kitchen units going on that wall and the soft back of the insulated board always compresses when individual wall unit brackets are fitted, they never really tighten up...

I'll see what I can source around me locally, from what I've read from one suppliers data sheet, a 2:1 sand/lime ratio for backing coat then 2.5:1 top coat Sand/lime mix then trowel up as flat as possible ,then no skim coat ? then I would need special lime paint to decorate it with when dry, I...

Well explained, but won't lime plaster take about 2 months to dry, I was hoping to have the kitchen fitted before Xmas and get my house back to a habitable hole :) ,would not a Sand,cement and lime render be suitable ?
