Thanks guys. Think I might be stuffed here. Cant cut it shorter as its cut to the right length already, and cant turn it round this is the 'good' side. @lostinthelight why would you not want to do filling, aesthetic reasons, or others?

Hello, Just installing a solid oak worktop, and where it joins on to another (butt join) there is a small bit missing where there must of been a knot. As recommended by the worktop people, its being joined with mitre seal, but would people recommend filling this bit with something solid...

Butting up corners. I think you may be right about not needing the jig, but why do jigs have the bolt holes, is it that easy to do it without a jig accurately? Thanks.

Hi all, Fitting a solid wood worktop soon, and just got a router to make the holes for the bolts (The worktop is just butt joined, no mitre). i purchased a budget router jig to make the bolt holes but it turns out its massive and probably not the right one. This is what I purchased...

Thanks, thats very interesting! I'll look into those other blades. Im a bit confused why people use the 'R' reverse cut blades then?

Hello all, Ive purchased some end panels for the wall units for my kitchen: http://www.diy.com/departments/it-kitchens-gloss-cream-slab-contemporary-end-panel/284523_BQ.prd But these need to be cut to the right depth. Im planning to use a jigsaw to cut these. It may be best to use a jigsaw as...

Great advice. Thanks!

Do you mean the other way round?? :) Thanks

Not entirely sure what you mean @foxhole. The dishwasher door is the same width and height of the dishwasher. The usual 600mm wide. Thanks.

Hello! Just planning my kitchen at the moment, and have a question about integrated appliance support panels. B&Q designed the kitchen and put support panels either side of the dishwasher. They said it gives stability but isn't necessary. Can you see a reason to have them seeing that there is...

B&Q do a blanking panel for just that purpose :)

Hello, Fitting my kitchen currenty (B&Q jobbie) and have found a correct size corner post to complete it. But not sure how it should fit? It meets 2 1000mm base units, but which photo is correct? The left side is sink cupboard and the right cupboard is half buried in the corner. Thanks. Dan

Thanks both of you once again. That exactly what i needed to know and makes complete sense now :)

Hello all, I need to extend a ring cirucit in the middle, basically it comes out of the floor and need to make part of the cable longer. I was going to use something like this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/30a-3-terminal-junction-box-white/5866d or http://www.screwfix.com/p/chocbox/54936 My...

just behind the cupboards tacked on the wall. Not buried.

Kitchen is its own ring yep! There is an extra socket on the long wall next to the oven on a different circuit which the fridge freezer is plugged in to. The floor is mostly concrete, some of it is floorboards! Its a 1930's house, but as I say the Kitchen has had the extension, hence the concrete.

Well the kitchen is quite long and thin as it has been extended. So the main sockets are along the long side, plug a couple on the left side of the extension. There is 1 double socket along the dining room wall as per below but its on the ground floor ring, not kitchen. There is nothing on this...

Yes I think there is a fine line being drawn here. I'm not touching the cables from the CU, but replacing the rest of the cable to tidy and adding some new spurs/sockets. I am planning to get an electrician in to test/inspect.

Thanks all for your input so far. There is already 2x 2.5mm coming from the Consumer unit as it was a ring before I tore it out. If I change it to a radial, I have to dig up the floor to replace the existing cable some distance. If a radial is very much recommended now then thats fine, so my...

Ok Thanks That's interesting. I always thought it would be better to have a ring where possible to help spread the load as such, especially where we have high drain appliances like the washing machine, dishwater, microwave oven and kettle. This is why I like coming here to get viewpoints. I was...
