    Screwfix

    I placed an order last Fri for 30 items - £100+, and it was delivered this morning with no mistakes. I was a bit reluctant to risk it after mistakes on my previous order before Xmas, but it looks like normal service resumed then.

    advice needed

    I've been asked to skim a conservatory and saw it before the walls were dry-lined. I've done a search on this site and found the pic of permitted zones for unprotected cables to confirm what I thought,and the diagonal cables were not covered, as isn't the cable at floor level running around...
