I'm not using a glazed tile they have a natral finish ? ( if I understand it correctly )

Ok the oven is a plug in one . The hob is ceramic so will need a dedicated supply (not sure of the loading yet). I can easly replace the cable complete as its only run on the surface. So eliminating the need for a joint box. At the cooker end will a combined cooker point with socket be...

Thanks for all your comments I was told that they plug in by the guy in the kitchen department when I ordered the kitchen I'm still waiting for it to be delivered so I can check the total kw. So my best option looks like to get a big joint box extend the cable to the new location and refit...

Many thanks for your advice Just a bit confused what you mean by pour the mix on top of old tile so that you don't imprint onto it ? How wet should the mix be ? Is the grout sharp sand also ? I did read that you should put the tiles in a bucket of water prior to laying so as not to soak up...

I was a bit concerned that connecting under the bath would be difficult to reach and make connections and as the bath is directly opposite the bathroom door I didn't want anything to be seen. ? Would the waste look better going into the floor or just horizontally as with the normal method. ?

But is there a reason for this ? I was thinking it would be a neater looking job if I took my hot from the outlet on the front of the cylinder. Or would it not be better if I ran the bathroom water from this and the kitchen water from the top outlet that way the pressure would not drop if the...

I'm moving a hot water cylinder at the moment the pressure on the hot taps is fine the tank is at floor level in the bathroom with the header tank in the loft directly above. When re-plumbing I have the oppotunity to raise the level of the cylinder or even to move the whole lot into the loft...

Thanks for your comments He has thought of most options oil heating bottled gas etc and heat pumps but decided against them As it will be for rental he is trying to keep the cost down and convector heaters look like the best option? Is a service upgrade a big job? Or is it a case of getting...
