chrispti Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi All, I went ahead and did it.. In the end, I simply removed the skirting inside my fitted wardrobe, pushed the cab to the wall, marked out a rectangle and cut out the plasterboard. I then was able to secure it directly to the block wall using 'resin' and M10 threaded bar and, then made good around it using decorators filler. Its very secure and it looks nice.. The only problem is that the 'blocks' are actually thermolite, so VERY soft.. But with the resin fixings, I was able to do the nuts up REALLY tight and there is no sign of it moving. I hope that FAO is happy with it, as if he isn't I have made a right mess of the house (fortunatly, in a place you can't see).. I can't see him having a problem.. Its secured to a block wall using 6 x M10 bolts.. Its inside a fitted wardrobe, so completely out of sight.. I can't see I can do any more. My inspection is tomorrow, so fingers crossed... Thanks for all your help.... I just hope that I have done enough! Jon As long as its out of sight and when your FEO gives it a good tug it doesn't come off the wall, you should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jweaver Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 And the good news is.. I had my inspection and the FAO was more than happy with the location and strength of the cabinet and gave me the thumbs up. Should get my Certificate next week... I have a week off work, so looks like I will be going shopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
