Thanks - lots of replies! Photo is slightly deceiving. Im holding it against the brick wall 'underneath' the level of plaster. The chase is slightly larger than the metal strip. "How far are the cables from the corner ?" - About 10" or so. The cable was always there, on the surface of...

Sorry I dont understand. Are you saying not to use the capping and just fill in the chase with plaster? Yes Ive dug out the plaster to the brick for the whole run (from box to floor) - A kitchen worktop will eventually sit halfway.[/b]

I have 'chased' a cable down from a back box through about an inch of plaster and want to cover it some metal trunking (my word) but don't know the best way to sticking to the brick wall. i've tried masonry nail & small screws but they either bend or the screws are too close the edge of the...

Thanks I used the term 'ring' as I dont know what a ringless ring is! Anyway, Ive upped a photo of my fuse box. The bit about kitchen ringless ring says: MCB B16 61/B16 If that helps

Ooo right. Can it be steamed off? Does it have to come off?

Thanks. I don't actually have the fan yet - yet to buy one & don't really know which one to opt for. Something basic(ish) from B&Q or screwfix. Im after a fan just to expel anything else the cooker hood doesn't. Although it will be next to the hood - its the only place I can put it. If Im...

Hi I want to put in an extractor fan on the wall in my kitchen that Im completely re-fitting. I roughly know where I want it but Im struggling where to get the power from. Please see the photo. My options are (in this order) Can I use the cable that is coming from an...

Hi Looking at the pics of my kitchen ceiling can it be skimmed? At some point I will get my walls skimmed over & patched here & there but I don't know what to do with the ceiling. It looks like it has some sort of wallpaper or something on it and has several coats of paint. Some of the...
