Hi all, Hoping one of the friendly flooring experts on here can help with my question: We have bought some Kahrs 15mm thick engineered wood flooring to put down in our kitchen. Our sub-floor is t+g pine boards 100mm wide by 22mm thick, over 4x2 joists above a ventilated ground floor with...

I guess both of these responses are what I was trying to suggest when I asked whether I could consider the oven to be a fixed load that does not require overload protection at the origin, but should still consider fault/short circuit current protection. Thanks both for the confirmation of...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Using diversity, would you then suggest that I get an electrician in to change the breaker from 32A to 20A? I feel confident to do that myself, but i know the rules..... I feel that 20A is a bit close for comfort, but the diversity calc gives 10A + (0.3x13.9A)...

Morning all, I’m hoping one of the electricians around here may be able to help me with this one… I’ve got a built-in Siemens eye-level double oven to connect to an existing circuit. The oven is rated 5.5kW @ 230V, i.e. 23.9A. They do not specify a fuse size or a cable size. My existing...

Thanks for the replies folks. Yes, that is my understanding too - that the flexible hose and bayonet should be used for freestanding appliances only, so that the user can pull the appliance out for cleaning etc. But I'm no gas expert, which is why I am leaving that to a Gas Safe chap...

Hi, I have an existing tongue and groove pine sub floor, and am planning to install a Kahrs click down engineered wood floor over it, probably with a Tredaire Boardwalk underlay. Kahrs specify 2mm over 1m maximum out-of-flat for the subfloor. I currently have a slight dip over a small area...

Really, that would have been the last place I would have looked for paint?

Hi, Thanks for that - will the diamond matt not have at least as much sheen, if not more than the vinyl matt? Thanks, Dave

Hi, I'm in the middle of redecorating the whole house, and have been mist-coating the fresh plaster with Dulux Supermatt White, which gives amazing coverage. In one room, I've used that as the top coats, too, 'cos the plaster was still a bit fresh. Now I'm painting other rooms where the...

Thanks for the helpful replies folks! So the X300 isn't likely to cause me major headaches like leaks all over the place or suchlike? As I understand it is mainly intended to remove mineral oil contamination/neutralise flux from new components/pipework. Following the X300 flush, would I...

Evening all, I'm a long time lurker on here and now finally registered :D So apologies if this has already been answered, but I couldn't find it... I am about to relocate and replace some radiators on an existing 40 year old vented heating system. The modifications will require...
