cheers Matty. What about cladding the whole floor with tile backer board?

Hi all I am preparing a kitchen floor ready for floor tiles. Most of the floor is sound and level but the end of the room (about 3 sq M) has dropped about 25mm over 1M. The customer has had this area checked for movement and assures me that it has settled. My question is how can I bring this...

Cheers for that Brian :)

I would say Tim77's advice is best if not coljac

Cheers for that chaps! :D

Hiya all Although I passed the relevent course for domestic electrics in November, I have just got round to applying to the NICEIC for registration. I've spent £500+ on a Megger and every time I get £500 available to spend on membership, something else comes up. Finally, I've bit the bullet...

Why don't you believe me??!! :) No seriously, I've just scanned my certificate and I believe I need to send it to a picture sharing site... so I'll keep you posted Brian[/url]

Just read gcol's advice on silicone application. Just one tip to add... try using a spray bottle (such as an old Mr Muscle container) and fill with diluted washing up liquid. Apply silicone and make sure that you force it into the joint (otherwise you'll find that some sealant might lift off)...

Sorry mate, all I meant was that you are the only one who took the trouble to answer my question. Cheers for that!

Finally, some feedback. Cheers Brian

Thanks for this advice. 2 ring circuits in the kitchen? What if you haven't the capacity on the consumer unit? Also, I've posted another question in this forum regarding bathroom downlighters. Any chance of you clever bods letting me know your thoughts? Thanks in anticipation Brian

It's just that I've had two cases recently with Miele integrated dishwashers where the only possible place to provide an outlet is at the top near the worktop or at the bottom. The appliance was 590mm deep (allowing for the door frontal) thus leaving 10mm. I chased asingle gang outlet into the...

OK, point taken. Cheers

But surely if the outlet is behind the appliance, it's inaccessible anyway? I'd sooner move a few tinnys than pull my half ton washing machine out! Your thoughts please Brian

What about if the appliance is jammed up against the wall ie leaving no room for a switched outlet and a plug? This is why I was wondering if it's ok to put the outlet in an adjacent cabinet. I agree FCU above with switched outlet below is the best. Cheers Brian

Any one know the most acceptable way to install down lights in a bathroom with an insulated loft above? When I did my part p course there were various ideas. Boxing in the fitting and transformer with fire proof material? Fire hoods/using intumescant fittings - what about the tranny? Cut back...

I've raised this query before but I am still not sure exactly what the reg's are. What is the most acceptable way to provide power for appliances in kitchens? I've seen flex outlets behind dishwashers/washing machines etc. connected to a FCU above the work top. Also, 13A outlets behind the...

I would advise to use a bonding coat and get a nice tight finish (at least level). Most adhesives bond better with a bonding coat than with multi finish especially as a skim coat is only 1/4" thick. Brian :wink:
