  1. A bit less than that. https://www.consumerunitworld.co.uk/hager-vsr120-20-way-consumer-unit-2003-p.asp? Unpopulated of course. Looking at around £25 ea for a Hager compact RCBO new. That's £500 on top of the cu! Unless you shop around. See what your electrician thinks of SBS: https://www.sbstradesales.co.uk/ (SBS don't have a fly lead either).
  2. @AnonymousBosch, what @nod is showing is a "flush" unit. Nice an low profile with the gubbins hidden.

    I imagine because you can pair them with cheap Makita battery clones.
  4. Yes and no. They are hardwired rather that the wire to light is a connector. Shouldn't be too bad to replace around the bath as I have conduits that exit outside the bathroom in an accessible cupboard so I can just pull through. In the loft though...work in progress.
  5. £4.99 for 10 on special from Screwfix. IP6X stainless deck lights.
  6. If things are that tight maybe look to skate it in on 5 little castors, one on each foot. If it needs to go in/come back out a few times. Might save a lot of cursing! Taps at the end?
  7. Wot I said!
  8. I'm a similar stamp to you and even I am in danger of slipping under the water in this:
  9. Why not cut a template 1800 long by Xmm wide and see how easy it is to get in. Presume the 1800 is a constant up the height of the walls and that the room is dead square. Worst case you cut a bit of a slot into the pb and fill over.
  10. 1800 x 800 here. It's lovely. One day I hope to have enough hot water to fill it!
  11. Sounds doable, is that 1805mm a constant? Presume you'll have to slide the bath in. Where you side it from needs to be 1805mm too. Tile down onto the bath etc. Mind your fingers! What are the walls, pb?

    Interesting: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/4000235031529.html & https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000407099501.html
  13. Lots of theories as to the why of frogs: https://www.scottishbrickhistory.co.uk/brick-frog-origins-of-use/
  14. I'd say no. The blocks have no frog so the resultant wall won't be very strong.
  15. I know the theory buy still made a bit of a hash over it.
  16. I used the cheapest ceramic tiles in the bathroom. Floor came out better than the walls tbh. Imo the "Union Jack" cut wet room corner of the floor came out the best bit when it should have been the hardest. It is really quite remarkable. A couple of obvious low ones on the rest of the floor. Tiling the walls I hated tbh. Wish I'd used those levelling clips everywhere. Reading this thread though and feeling better about my diy efforts!
  17. Talk on 22 Jan, University of Surrey: https://events.theiet.org/buildings-that-breathe-how-to-save-energy-through-intelligent-design/

  18. ...at The Hilton Maidstone on 22 Jan: https://events.theiet.org/energy-storage-in-the-uk/
  19. Indeed, (as later covered by Steve Strange / Visage).
  20. That's a bit cruel... @pocster deserves a break...
  21. In the year 2025 If @Onoff is still alive...
  22. This is meant to get a white upvc infill panel some time...
  23. I fitted a sink very similar (Homebase) but put the wc like that back in the box and went wall hung. Much nicer to look at and easier to clean.....or so I'm told! A fiver says you fit a bog roll holder before I do! ?
