Bco says no need. Just use normal boards. But I'm sure I read somewhere you need to.

I've had dormers and gable wall built on my semi. Do I use pink plasterboard on Ceilings on first floor. I have used pink in dormer and around steel beam. Also put firedoors in too. Thanks @^woody^

This is at an angle. Ceiling above staircase. Is this joint OK as there is a bit of a gap. Or should I have done a mitre joint. Bit more difficult.

how about on stud wall. Do you hang vertically or horizontally?

Hi I have been boarding up my dormers with pink 12.5mm boards. On front dormer the boards span to centre dormer rafters. Do I continue with seem in middle or do I make more work by adding 3 boards so the seems don't meet. Regards

I've also heard notching underside is not allowed.

@flameport interesting to hear your take on this. By the way love your videos on YouTube (y)

@JohnW2 are you John ward on YouTube?

This has turned into an academic discussion . I've been told it doesn't need rcd or any further protection and others indicate it does. In layman's terms does it require rcd and mechanical protection according to regs or is it acceptible to leave it as is. Regards

Update No rcd on consumer unit. Does it make any difference ?

Chasing wall has to be in safe zones or 50mm depth otherwise need protecting. Again if rcd which most consumers are would that mean the rules don't apply!?

I've just read If its less than 50mm it needs to be rcd protected. It is so that's that sorted. 17th ammendment consumer units have 2 rcd. Personally I'd drill through joists.

20 torches will light the room up. They have them in another room and are happy with the lighting.

I thought according to regs the wire is suppose to be 50mm above ceiling?! Wiuld be easy for a pin to go through wire if hanging balloons, etc

Hi. Been to friends house who is having spot lights fitted by electrician. It is 1.5mm cable. It's been run below joists in rectangular cutouts and covered with insulation foam . The ceiling will be plastered. Below 50mm. Cables are protected by 6amp mcb. Cheers

Should be 1 inch max

The guy who did the digging. He apparently does the digging for majority builders where I live. He was given dimensions and was marked accurately on external wall. It started off OK but went away from neighbours probably due to her footings for conservatory. What can I do about neighbour...

Hi. I had my footings dug out and just had the concrete poured last week. I've been checking the measurements as I was going to start building and it's quite a bit out. 35cm! It's needs to go 35cm to the right (blue arrow). The block is right on edge of footings. It was dug out by digger...

Thanks. How about 1st floor and ground. As I plan to have them through out house

Hi. I've had my gable wall and dormers built. Ceiling is 2.1m high so would like to install spotlights. Have Kingspan in there. Will I have to use fire rated led spot lights? The ones I will be using are extremely slim led and don't get hot at all. Also will have on suite. Do I need...
