I've have examined conditions of sub area and put in new joists in corridor so they're all in good condition. I am gonna do some additional repairs in other areas. No stuctural issues has ever been flagged up. The slope in the corridor is actually only about 3-4 mm so I am thinking I may be able...

Thanks. A floating floor might work but won't there still be some sloping even with plywood subfloor?

Hi there We have sanded original victorian suspended wood floors on our ground floor but have been thinking about installing engineered floorboards on top. They are sloping a tad from room to room though, particularly the corridor. Would anyone be able to give me an idea of what's involved...

Yes correct, it's a connection plate. Bearing in mind electricity isn't my strong point, there is an isolator switch for both hob and oven. Like you said, probably best to ask our electrician.

Hi There We're instaling a new kitchen. The previous owner had a hardwired socket installed for the induction hob. Additionally they connected a vertical lead to the same hardwired socket and which comes out of the wall further up. I assume this lead is meant for the hood. Question: Is it o.k...

Thanks, will give it a go

It's not a million miles from being o.k for sure. Difficult to say for certain how far out it is. I have some sample Amtico LVT with underlay attached. When laying them over the concrete area there's slight movement/wonkiness in some places. Perhaps 1mm.

What would you skim it with?

Hi there Our tiny kitchen has predominantly a wooden floor with a small patch of concrete just in front of where kitchen cabinets will be. We had someone put plywood over the wood and then levelling compound over the concrete with the idea of having the two surfaces be same height...

Hi there I was thinking of fitting Amtico Clicksmart floor in our small kitchen Our kitchen subfloor is part plywood and a small patch of concrete. The concrete patch is level with plywood but overall the concrete has small dents and dips here and there which makes is slightly uneven. Is it...

Ikea doesn't have a void

I'll need to get an electrician in anyway to move a different socket so will get them to have a look at it to make sure all is well.

I assume it connects the two sockets together, can't see what other function it would have. Will stick to original plan

That's correct, chase in the big loop would be ideal as it falls within my level of expertise. A shorter horizontal cable between the two sockets is worth considering. I guess I could cut the chase myself and get an electrician to connect it all up.

Thank you. Appreciate it

O.k that makes sense, thanks. One more question: is it best to use some kind of conduit to protect the cable?

That's right it will be behind the cabinet so I guess there's no need to fill the chase. Vertical chases are fine to fill right?

You can just about see the sockets in this picture. So a horizontal chase is o.k?

Hi There I am about chase some cables into our kitchen wall so I can fit an Ikea kitchen. In the picture you can see there's one semi circle horizontal lead which I assume daisy chains two power sockets. My question: Is it o.k to to cut a semi circle chase or is that not a good idea? Any...

O.k thanks. Cutting the concrete may be a good idea as we were thinking of having the bedroom carpeted. Thanks for input.
