Screed installed, went for a cement based flowing screed. Not cheap, but less hassle as can be tiled onto directly. Onto first fix plumbing and electrics. Kitchen ordered and delivered also. After visiting al the usual places about 3 times each went for IKEA in the end.

Ha! Remember the bit about the logic melting my brain, you lot aren't helping! :-) Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to "invest" in one of the wifi enabled switches that gives me individual control by the switch, then I think you can control groups of lighting through the app. We shall see...

Hi. On a related note is there a way of wiring lights A, B & C, with individual switches but also with a 4th switch that turns all off and on. I think that if the 4th switch is wired as an intermediate switch in some way.... The logic has melted my brain slightly. I'd like to control the areas...

Fascia is just UPVC - RAL 7016 to match the windows/doors. As it's a dark colour and will absorb more heat you need more fixings than white apparently, which does make it look a little "dotty" close up.

Can be done but as others have said a flush ceiling adds a lot of pain. Our extension was built to roof level then large "slots" made in the house existing wall to insert the steels. See here for the full story.

Totally flat. New plasterboard/plaster everywhere.

Thanks. So it looks like 1" give a or take a few mm with my quick measuring.

Hi. I have to connect two 22mm supply pipes to an UFH manifold. The internal diameter of the fitting is 30mm or 1/14". Does this translate to as 1" BSP fitting? Thanks.

Thanks, time to go shopping. Pretty much to the top, 50mm gap.

Oooo, I like this. Do you have a link?

Thanks All. I'll try and answer the questions. Slightly update plan below. There are no wall cabinets, just tall and standard so no under cabinet work surface lighting needed. The only work surfaces are 180cm in front of the side window, and a 120cm x 3700cm island that has a ceiling...

As stated, the extension sub floor level was set with 100m insulation and 70mm screed in mind, 170mm in total. (It actually changed to 120mm insulation and 50mm flowing screed). The existing floor was 70mm screed that was removed and replaced with 20mm insulation and 50mm flowing screed. The...

It's messy, just well hidden! View could be better.....

There is an existing utility in the house, the the bottom left of the kitchen that we are keeping.

Hi. Part way through an extension that will create a large kitchen/diner/family room. Now at a stage to start thinking about lighting and it's all a little confusing. I think I need a lighting designer, if there is s such a thing. Basic plan below. Area in grey is the room area. Green is...

Insulation going down. Underfloor heating.

Knock through has happened.

Don't hold your breath! :-)

There is a build thread here that will hopefully answer some of the questions. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/maybe-if-we-just-knock-that-wall-down.487243/ The flowing screed will be between 40mm and 50mm. Existing house isn't that level :-( Building regs plans were submitted and approved...

Thanks all. The 20mm is being retrofitted into the existing kitchen diner. The actual extension has 120mm insulation. The 20mm was the max I could get given the existing screed depth. Do building regs have to be taken into account for the existing but if the house? 20mm is better then the zero...
