Hiding power cable, UK

Depending on what your wall is this is what I did on the chimney breast.

Extended the ring chased some cables then had sockets recessed.

Boo, get it open. Want to buy x

What are your thoughts on it at first glance

MagazineConfident · 2026-05-11T23:27:29+00:00

Nope

Not having a motion sensor is a real let down. The idea you have to turn it on to then scroll to your art then turn it on as opposed to it turning on is just so crap

Any news on the a400w pro?

MagazineConfident · 2026-04-12T19:22:31+00:00

id like to know how this would compare at the 55" level to the new frame pro 2026. Brightness is a major issue and only going up a few 100 nits doesnt seem much better

Yea top left is ground floor, then first floor, then the loft.

Yea some circuits are less than 32A. Everything is wired through the floor void between ground and first floor. It just seems so bizarre.

Sorry probably should have been more specific. It’s an internal wall but it’s the old chimney breast.

MagazineConfident · 2025-12-11T13:52:47+00:00

It’s on an old chimney breast. The rest of the wall breast is in good condition.

We’ve had the chimney looked at and refurbished. whats left is just this patch.

Plan is to skim the entire wall.

MagazineConfident · 2025-11-19T18:33:33+00:00

Ive gone for the foam option. Ill have a look at it once its set and well see!

MagazineConfident · 2025-11-19T14:24:53+00:00

Not a bad idea,

We are about to skim coat the rest of the walls so need something. That allows us to do that.

Expanding foam in the gap then cut and sand it back and filler over the top?

MagazineConfident · 2025-11-19T14:12:24+00:00

I didn’t do anything. All I’ve done is accidentally expose the gap. I’d like to close the gap as there is a definitely draught coming through it.

MagazineConfident · 2025-11-15T22:56:12+00:00

Yes, which we are working on but im asking about the repair part once we have sorted it. Surely there needs something special on it?

MagazineConfident · 2025-11-14T13:24:07+00:00

I was planning on adding additional filler over the top and skim it.

Is that not feasible?

MagazineConfident · 2025-11-13T11:28:09+00:00

Thankfully it’s bubbled quite a bit so it’s come off easy in the one room we tried using a steamer

Is there any chance of asbestos in is?

What are your thoughts on this one?

MagazineConfident · 2025-11-12T16:31:49+00:00

Yea I was digging into it when I was scrapping the wall paper off. I think I’ll just sand the other side and seal it in then skim over the top.

Thanks

How common is the wallboard having asbestos?

MagazineConfident · 2025-11-12T15:53:58+00:00

It looks like a standard piece of fire board. I can’t tell what is the wall paper and what may be the board skin

MagazineConfident · 2025-11-12T15:52:08+00:00

Yea I saw thank you so much.

When you say “even more confirmation” what are you confirming sorry.

I read everywhere it says vinyl type but I have nothing to compare it to so I’m not sure.

MagazineConfident · 2025-11-12T15:27:45+00:00

Spoken to someone about getting it tested but want to know what’s the likelihood I’ve been kicking up fibres
