Yup. ? Many hands make light work, literally

The ceiling spots and the bath spot were both on dimmers. The mirror lights and pocket lights just on switches. Excellent control over the 'mood' lighting and sets the room apart from others with such simple forethought. Under the vanity was a 600mm led strip light and a PIR facing the door / bath. When getting up for a nighttime pee they just walk in and the floor gets nicely back lit for 4-5 mins then goes off on a timer. That feature is controlled by a photocell on the outside wall so it doesn't come on during daylight hours. There is also a mirror demister which is controlled by a thermistor on the 22mm hot feed to that bathroom. If hot water is drawn via any outlet the mirror demister comes on. It stays on until the 22mm pipe cools right down, just enough to cover it for a long bath.

Over that it was just a tiny bead of jasmine silicone so it was a) splash proof and b) easily removed. Do NOT CT1 anything you want to remove !

That bath is curved so just over 300mm between the bath and the spot. A couple of yoga lessons and a few less pies and it's an easy change. Just leave a good 1000mm of slack on the cable so you can pull it away from the bath to change it. Bearing in mind we fitted top quality units with 50,000 hours lamp life .

Hi and welcome. All looks quite tidy at a glance, but the layout of the master ensuite cant be right as everything is in the doorway Im assuming your looking for feedback on room definitions and sizes as opposed to what's where in the rooms?

+1. Attention to detail needn't cost that much more, but I guess it's knowing your enemy ( draughtiness and poorly insulated floors / walls / roofspace etc ) is where we can help. . Ask lots of questions, THEN crack on. Some basics to be going on with in the meantime..... 1) You doing it up to sell? 2) Do you have a budget? 3) If the pigeons are resident is this totally derelict? 4) If so, when was it last lived in? As number Johnny 5 would say..."input!"

I'm 99% sure it's these ones but the exact ones we fitted came from a swansea supplier via the electrician. Annoyingly that seller above has a listing with options of cool or warm white. Bugger. Id check first but great if they offer both

Deffo make it so you start on cuts all the way up the trim, and finish with cuts all the way up. Don't start or finish with a bevel, even more if running into an internal or external corners Dont buy your missus a birthday card, and then when she protests just bring in the bag with all the 13mm off cuts . Siliconing is interesting, so use a colour matched grout and silicone to suit, with less being more.

In case anyone is confusing a little grinder with some gi-bungous petrol building slayer....... A diamond mortar rake which fits in a hand held 4"grinder. ?

Tres bien Rodney

Errrrrrrrm, the one where brickies own an angle grinder with a diamond encrusted blade, as opposed to the one where they wear small triangles of fur and bash away with primitive tools ( probably made by Silverline ha ha )

You sure about that ? ??

Diamond rake in an angle grinder will zip a brick out in about 3-5 mins tops ( if they hail from this century ) ?

Happy days ?

Thanks again @AndyT for making the journey. Sunamp accreditation next

Through the airtight membrane and the BT phone line

'Special prices' which TLC staff refer to as 'SP'. You are now in the circle of trust. ???

When it's man made you should be fine to keep taking as they come out of the box, it's only when good old nature gets involved that things go south. Large format marble effect is often a nightmare, with the last one I did having just a few boxes bought and the pattern repeated a lot so that kept me on my toes. I did my bathroom floors in travertine and I had to switch my OCD off and just lay them. Worst thing someone can say to me is "can you lay the tiles in a random pattern". That's me, head fried.

I disagree with that. Natural tiles aren't often encountered and some tilers will be doing it for the first time. Its the supplier that should be highlighting this TBH.

? Ask for SP prices and say your electrician sent you.

Go to an electrical wholesalers and ask them to work out the parts you need. Do you have a TLC ( tlcdirect.com ) near you? The parts are pennies. Well a few hundreds of pennies

A previous customer had two heads off one cable, andcwhen it came to the refurb they had to pay to excavate for a new supply. Been fine for 35+ years up until then mind you . If they can get you to pay to upgrade them they will.

These were decking lights. 20mm hole and 25mm bezel. A single 10w ceiling ( shower rated ) spot behind the middle of the bath mounted 100mm off the floor provides 'betting ambient' lighting. The annoyance was the decking lights couldn't be found in true warm white to match everything else, but the pocket lights and the bath spot weren't ever going to be on at the same time so no real worry. I'll link to them later.

Go for the larger rectangular section over the units, and you'll need to see the extractor of choice to ascertain the remainder of the components to covert accordingly. The bigger the better and don't go for the 100mm as it'll be quite a choke to the airflow with a few bends etc in the run. The noise difference when there's the larger size duct fitted is quite significant eg quieter running at full speed.
