I'd use a strong contact adhesive to fix a suitably sized piece of hardboard and fix the tiles to that. If the marble has a high gloss finish I doubt a pva base will hold anything more than a sheet of paper.

I was thinking there must be a more elegant solution though. Having seen so many shortcuts and bad workmanship makes me wonder how the works got passed by the inspectors. Once completed (at £114m after £4m fine for late completion) the company sold it for £150m only to lease it back at £12m per...

I work in Manchester, this building was completed about 5 years ago and the company I work for moved in right away. Now, tell me if this is a great install or just someone just joining the dots (well, pipes actually). I know that on other sinks there are pipes which add cold water feeds to the...

This is getting more complicated than I anticipated. I assumed RCD protection was only necessary on a bathroom, shower room or outside circuit. The pond pumps will have the plug in unit which I use now. One double socket only on each 2.5mm² branch is what I intend so as not to burden the wiring...

Yes, you are correct. MCB is the one I meant (doh!).

Thanks for the help, I didn't know the double socket was rated lower than 2 x 13A so that's useful to know. As for the RCD, there will be one in the CU for the cooker circuit which is the first available location to put it, I could leave the original fuse in place but I thought I'd go for an RCD...

This thread is of interest to me, not that I'm putting in two electric ovens but more that I want to replace the cooker/13A socket wall unit with a set up like this. The total current drain won't be anywher near the 32A of the RCD and no-one else lives in the house so there won't be an issue...
