+1 on Wago boxes and connectors. S'fix do a useful starter kit but you'll need to buy boxes. TCL sell the connectors individually. Check out the Wago videos.

No good of course of tiling or laminate flooring afterward. Armeg is just one make, mine is another (Super Rod). For a few holes here and there T'station do this:

I prefer my make as it uses galvanised steel discs.

  • Managed to upload these. In black for onoff's benefit.

  • The only holes there should be in any walls are for doors and windows. Get the bolster out and start hammering.

Wait until the day you decide to "address from below" and drill upward and nick the T&E! :)

That won't happen because all the cables are neatly clipped and out of the way.  Oh wait...

 

And now it goes to rat shit anyway. Came home to find a load of plasterboard ready for plastering tomorrow which is not what I expected. Also they didn't need to remove any ceiling from below so there's less fixing up to do. So i've pointed this out and got a discount but I've still got that knot in my stomach of here we go again.

 

floor is solid now and they've reboarded about 2/3 of the room. Don't think the door is any squarer though so we'll have to live with it. Would only need fixing if we come to sell as a surveyor would spot it. Best foot forward and all that.

All done bar the shouting now. Just waiting for the plaster to dry before decorating.

 

Loads of stuff I coulda/shoulda done at the time but wasn't worth the hassle. Removed some redundant piping and pulled my smoke alarm cable through which are a good start.
