    The place that needs doing is near Portsmouth. I don't want to be paying London price's for Portsmouth. There's no CC and no parking. As for the materials I'm more than happy for a sparky to tell me which lights etc to get from screwfix, toolstation, wickes or whatever catalogue.

    As it happens they are LAP. No big deal I'll just get fire rated one's instead if that's what's best. I haven't picked them up yet got 21 days to pick them up. So just go in get refund and purchase fire rated downlighters.
