Of course I will liaise with electrician, the whole ground floor is on one ring, latest code I read now says a separate ring for kitchen is now the norm due to amount of appliances etc being use and as I have already had extra sockets installed in living room and thus expending the ring thought...

The whole room needs skimming which is my preferred rather than plasterboard dot and dab as the room is only 2.5m wide so every mm is important, I will chase the walls down to 30mm and back box cut outs 35mm so the electrician can use 20mm oval conduit, then fill to level with bonding plaster...

Thank that was also the reason of have two rings in kitchen one for sockets and one for appliances

Hi again Having finished renovation of living room I will shortly be moving onto the kitchen which will be a complete rip out including knocking down and moving back one short wall to create more space and knocking down the brick under stairs cupboard again to create more space. Now the...

Question on door handle fitting jigs, can any explain why on most jigs the spindle bore is 44mm when it only has to be big enough to accommodate the spindle. Such a big spindle bore of 44mm limits what handle design you can have plus gives less support for the latch. Am I missing something.

Update Well, the petition wall has gone of which my Council charged me £6 a bag so that was £60 out of my pocket. Wallpaper has been stripped, do not know why I never brought one of those steam strippers long before now as they really do make the job so much easier. Have built my bespoke...

Good tip Thank you

How long does this stuff last for once opened, just I brought it to fill drywall screw holes and repair a couple of plasterboard chaffed corners on a media wall I am building but am also making a small stud wall around a boiler in a couple of days and wondered if it will still be useable for...
