  1. That £47 doesn't include any materials, so just labour
  2. My tiles are 1200 x 230, I guess that would increase price per m2, not sure how much. Just got a quote for £47/m2
  3. I'm from the South so maybe they think they can gouge me after hearing my accent 😂 Trying to get more quotes by text this time
  4. I got quoted £3500 for 45m² and I have to buy the Ditra, which is £500, £89/m2! Another quote was £63/m2 but schedule don't match. I'm in Sheffield btw
  5. Crisis over! Ceiling is vaulted, high enough for multi bulb fitting and the light I linked to can cut the cables shorter. But also caught in time to add extra bulkhead light furthest away from windows.
  6. Ceiling is 3.3m, light fitting will be slightly lower than that. I think the ceiling is sloped, not vaulted, will check today during site visit
  7. D'oh, that's the kitchen ceiling height. I've asked what it is for this bedroom
  8. Ceiling is vaulted, 2.4m high. The ensuite has a sloped ceiling (I'm trying to remember the details) and builder says they drilled through the beam so likely difficult and/or costly to change it now :( I did look at light fittings with multiple sockets for the dining table, looks like I'll need something similar in the bedroom. Maybe like this, 40W per socket would work? https://www.illumination.co.uk/pintacura-pendant-light-h3613719.html#product-attributes And thanks for the reply, self build is stressful, making all these decisions, especially in areas I know nothing about. I need the architect or builder to tell me when my ideas are bad, unworkable or needs more research!
  9. Hi, as title says, is one light fitting enough for a large bedroom, 5 x 3m? I thought one would be enough with a bright bulb plus floor lamp and bedside lamps but that was before I researched lighting, light calculators, etc. Electrics already done with one fitting in centre of room. I would want 2 evenly spaced but I have no idea how much work or money that would take. Have I boobed massively?
  10. No but it's similar to other hobs. Not sure if "ducted" means external or recirculating. But I didn't know these ducts reduce noise levels. I had thought they weren't necessary but now I'll look for one that will fit. Thanks!
  11. Like Torre's idea, I can't go deeper with the island but there's a 42mm service void. Waiting for confirmation it's twice that with back to back units and if it's the same for shelves and drawers units Also waiting for DIY Kitchens support to tell me how big is the internal gap behind drawers to backing board.
  12. I can't go deeper, need clearance next to dining table, but making the middle unit the smallest available is a possible idea, thanks!
  13. Hi, I'm having trouble finding a downdraft recirculating extractor induction hob to fit regular British units in an island. I had planned a 80cm hob but they all require lots of room underneath the worktop. I can widen the unit to 1000mm to handle width and height under the worktop isn't an issue, as I know there's some unusable space. The real problem is depth from the front of the worktop to the back. DIY Kitchens base units are 560 but most hobs need 480-600mm plus a 25-100mm gap for venting, with or without a duct, down the back then underneath to the front plinth which will have a cutout. The attached image is just one model. Do other kitchen companies make deeper units? I can change from drawers to shelves but I'm still limited to 560. I thought they're 600 deep so is there a 40mm void? Do I sacrifice the units on the back of the island? So they mirror the front but have only shallow cupboard units on each end with a dummy panel behind the hob unit? Any suggestions are welcome! The alternative is a smaller 72cm hob, I've seen the Elica NikolaTesla FIT, but I would really prefer 4 full size pan areas (plates, burners or whatever you call them 😄)
  14. So I had a chat about conduits with the builder and he's suggested some conduits but only straight sections and having some end underneath floors for future use. I'm not completely sure what he meant, might ask for a layout drawing, as still need to decide where the ethernet ports should go. I might have to settle for that due to budget and time constraints as 1st fix is starting soon. I guess some conduits is better than nothing
  15. Did you use flexible or rigid tubing? I'm limited to only 25mm max. I was thinking of flexible ENT tubing unless rigid is better?
