Hi all, Need a bit of urgent advice on this one. I have 2 6 foot fluorescent fittings in line on a ceiling with 1.5 mm cables feeding the first and then on to the second (all through 20mm conduit). I need to put a power spur at the other end of the room and the only route I have is to go...

Thanks Jerry, Bit late to change the mix because I have 2 metres of sharp outside. Ive had 4-1 sharp mix laid before for much heavier use and its been ok. Went to jewsons and got Synthaprufe, great stuff and it reminds me of the primer you get with flashband, all ready and keyed up for the...

Thanks masona, its a new building and has no roof yet. I am very interested in the rubber membrane product from your link, just wondering how expensive it is ? The steel tile effect sheets are quite pricey and my previous experience with steel is lots of condensation.
