I am defined scope at present but do feel I have the `competance` required after being in the industry for 25 years. I class myself as `competant` after working with a fully qualified sparks (late father) for 20 years and qualiying myself defined scope 5 years ago.

Yes I can self certify it just I never done a whole board and wanted peoples opinions. It`ll probably take me forever doing all the testing but got to pluck the courage up sometime :lol: Was thinking a 16 way dual rcd jobbie would do nicely

I`m a kitchen fitter who is part P, just haven`t done a CU upgrade as normally just minor works. I understand separate CU`s avoiding critical situations but thought 1 larger board takes less cupboard space and works out cheaper. Down side to a large board is a congested and fiddly to work on.

Simple answer I guess, do I seal matt porcelain tiles for the walls of our ensuite with Neostile matt tiles. Bathroom has polished porcelain wall tiles which i will be sealing. Kitchen floor has travertine which i will be sealing with colour intensifier.

In the process of having our extension finished and i`m nearly ready to upgrade existing consumer unit and wanted your opinions on best solution. Presently have an MK 8 way which is original to house built in 2000 which is full. As a new circuits have been installed whats your thoughts on 1...

Topps will do me a good price as kind of know the manager and his best friend is my tiler through work. Thanks for the tips :D

Did have a look. There dearer range looked like it very little filler as quite good on the reverse side. Just the colour was slightly Darker than I'd prefer. I'm after a light ish shade work little filler, don't mind a bit of colour variation as it is a natural stone after all

That sounds promising, what's your opinion of topps trav

Sure this will have been covered before but what the heck :D Was planning on laying travertine tiles 60x40cm in our kitchen (40sqm) once the extension is finished. I`m going to fit an overlay ufh system with screed board ontop to give a nice solid flat surface to tile to. Always wanted trav...

Small update on this, I`ve removed the kitchen sink unit as my builder requires access to remove the external wall now the extension is water tight. Yes the incoming 25mm blue is in a flexible duct which pressumable runs direct to the meter outside. I can see where it exists the floor and...

Presumably the exist is in a duct, until I strip the kitchen I won't know.

25mm blue mdpe is the incoming. I understand is not ideal having a joint in the floor but what's the option?

Edit. Teach me for being half asleep. Is not 32mm incoming lol Standard mdpe

Hi everyone. Looking for advice. I'm having an extension built on our kitchen at present, in the new layout our existing 32mm mdpe incoming pipe and stopcock will be in the middle of the floor, not ideal lol. I want to simply isolate at the meter outside then cut and join the mdpe and ruin...

I know this has probably been covered hundreds of times but after searching I can't decide. I'm having an extension on the rear of our house. The kitchen area is having a wet ufh of Solfex warmboard. A 18mm overlay system ontop of the concrete slab. I've been recommended to lay screed...

I like the idea of a lighter weight drill but hear stories that the lith ion batts don`t last as long ie 10+years and cost even more than the old 24v jobs. Don`t want to jump into a new expensive drill without complete confidence it`ll do the job.

I`d always start with a smaller bit, If going up to 25 i`ve always gone 16, 20 then 25. Are the current drills on market as robust as my oldschool gbh

Looking to replace my very old bosch gbh24vfr. This has always a superb drill but its reaching the end of its life :cry: Now what to replace with? Most of my tools are dewalt but need recommendations without the sales pitch shops give. Needs to be able to put 20-25mm holes through...
