So if I buy expensive florescent bulbs for every room this would satisfy everyone here ?

Guys I really don't know where this conversation is heading. Are the people commenting about the lighting actually working in the industry today and not taking their knowledge from something they think is right? I asked for spotlights in the rooms, again what is wrong with having spot...

[b]And what about Building Regulations compliance? You're not going the route of an electrician who can self-certify, there are no 3rd-party certifiers yet, so you'll need to put in an application before you start (which will eat up a chunk of the savings you think you'll make) and that will...

Lamps to go with spot lights no ?

Two cable reels I got already for tv cable. Ethernet? internet cable? Yeah I've left that off for another time

lol 5 spots to lounge, 6 to kitchen, 4 to one bedroom, 4 to other bedroom, 4 to bathroom and i think the 50w are bulbs

By a proper spark mate don't worry. This is list : 2 heat detectors 1 fire detectors 19 2 gang socket 9 spec switch + socket box 25mm 2 gang 10 2 gang 35mm dry lining box 5 spec switch + socket box 25mm 1gang 19 fire rated down lights - white 4 low voltage downlights - white 19...

Can I put the list on here for you guys to comment on in that case? I'm having spot lights throughout keep in mind, fire rated. Should I upload list ?

There's 50 meters of 3C+E in there :) Does hob and over need to be same cable ? On a completely unrelated matter there's a tiny money spider dangling right in front of my computer screen lol

Oh crap, well I read the list price wrong and actually it was saying the 100m price but actually billing for 1 meter ! I accused him off pulling the wool, but what is worse when I discussed this with my neighbor who is an ex-sparky he offered to do the runs for free for something to do...

I don't think its physically possibly to get the consumer unit closer to the meter, less than 1meter it is! On the same wall lower down I assumed as much. I'm having cable run for 1 electric oven/separate hob (or perhaps integrated oven/hob) and 1 boiler. Oven is about 9meters from...

Looking through again, 100meters of 6mm2 6242y grey, what the hells is for ??? £193

Because a) he doesn't want to buy materials in case clients say they don't want the job and have to return b) probably some tax situation - hell if I know? c) I can choose some fittings myself d) he does get trade discounts, this outlet is showing the price minus 40% discount lol...

I'm buying some materials for an electrician and on his list is 100meters of 25mm 6181y blue/grey and 100meters of 25mm 6181y brown/grey The price of both reels is about 360 each!!!!. What the hell is this even for? I can account for the 1mm2 and 2.5mm for ring circuits and lighting but not...

I'm sizing 7 radiators over two floors but not sure whether online BTU calculators are reliable ? Some of these calculators require so much more information than others to provide an output calculation which is making me worry? Also, are there any particular radiators that I should look...

Through joists with a 16mm flat drill piece. A stop end like this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/stop-end-15mm-pack-of-2/65021 Is to large in diameter I'll probably go with these http://www.screwfix.com/p/solder-ring-stop-ends-15mm-pack-of-2/39404 Silly question I know but it's...

Ok thanks then guys. So one last question is where do I buy push fit caps that don't stop me feeding the pipe through the joists. There's only a 1mm gap to play with so if I use a stop end I won't get the pipe through the joist. Can anyone link me a picture of these push fit caps? Also...

The reason I ask is because if I'm to install correctly this requires lifting every single board the pipe passes under. Whereas if I don't support the pipe I can just feed the pipe through, put an elbow on and start with the next run. In this situation I'm unable to clip as two pipes run side by...

Question is when running plastic pipes parallel with joists how often are struts required to stop the pipe from sagging? This is a victorian house so there are no noggins between joists just clear runs from one side of the house to the other. Many thanks
