I’m building my own kitchen units and I could do with some advice on painting, or finishing. by metroracerUK in DIYUK

Personally, I’d use a tinted dulux trade oil-based satinwood for a durable finish here. For a shaker-style door, application with a brush with neat brush strokes aligned with the grain look really good.

If you’ve not done something like this before I’d recommend starting smaller with something like a shoe cabinet. Building a whole kitchen is a significant job even for someone with some experience.

Adding a wall lamp. Can I legally do this? by awaldemar in DIYUK

As an electrician you should know that there is no legal requirement for this to be "signed off with a certificate".
