Beat me to it. Good news

No. The electrician will sheath the cables as required with the appropriate colours when he connects it all up.

I tried in a Chrome browser. I got to the point of entering my personal details as a new customer and it was still translated to English. Do you have a Paypal account - I noted that was a method of payment, and that will be shown in your native language

I'm not going all the way there to read it

Have you got any good paint stripper in stock? Try it on a small area, then paint that bit with a good primer then appropriate outdoor paint. Nitromors would be my goto for paint stripper.

Sorry (sheepish grin)

Energy and transport cost increase being passed on?

As long as there are wall sockets in the vicinity that comply with the height guidance then floor sockets are allowed

A hot knife is good for polystyrene. They just dont cope with PIR. Someone may be along to explain why. Most guidance for cutting is sharp knife, jigsaw or handsaw

I used tile trim from my local tile shop. Cut back the bit that would normally go behind the tile leaving about 5/6mm to stick it to the wall/door frame/top step of stairs (as in picture)

So your approach seems the only option 😉 As for cutting the PIR, a reciprocating saw (I'd use a hand held one for control), and you'll have to break small chunks out as you go. Messy but a hot knife won't work. Use the chunks to wedge the conduit down from the UFH.

How deep is the PIR? What is the build up of the floor upto and including the PIR? Could you run the cable below the PIR and then bring it up to the location of the floor sockets? I have 2 floor sockets. The cables were run between the joists and then a hole made to bring the cable up vertically to where the floor sockets would be.

Conor, I would try to pull a drawstring through first - hit, and overcome, all the snags and route smoothly without possible damage to the 6mm cable. I think you would benefit from a hole at the wall where the cable goes the wall to the charger to make feeding the cable as easy as possible. I have used a piece of wire taken from a stock fence to do similar routing instead of the fibreglass rods. You can bend it when necessary to go over or under awkward points. Also, when you start pulling the cable with the drawstring, have someone feeding the cable in the first hole to reduce tension in the string and the cable. This also minimises damage to the outer insulation. Good gaffer or duct tape is very useful for this job. Best of luck with this.

Bossy! 😀

OK, off to SF 😀. I'll channel my inner Scot as I fit it 😉
