Hi Angela. The lights are waterproof LEDs - most builder's merchants and lighting shops will sell them.

We finished our respective courses living opposite each other in the same street in the red light area/ student land of a city! Mr B applied to do a further course at Exeter University. I went with him and we shared a room in a student house! Great fun...... And here we are still together 28 years on!

Hello Robert, I didn't actually see when you'd posted I just saw nobody had suggested anything. Not to worry re the should have's, I figured the layout was staying the same. So with concealed cistern if this is painted to blend with the wall or tiled along with the rest of the wall then I don't see much of a problem as the space above could be a feature which then draws the eye upwards. However if you wish to create something from the shelf ie the top of the boxed cistern then you could simply fill this above space and plaster, paint or tile.. Hang a decorative something or leave bare.. So many ways to deal with the space.. The pieces may also suggest what would suit and work best.. :))

Whilst I recognise there's a few tradespeople on here bemoaning fussy clients I have to say my biggest regrets when renovating my house was not being specific enough with trades! We had an electrician put in an extra light switch in the hall to control both the downstairs and upstairs lighting. He put it in a good 10-15cm lower than the other switch further along the same wall which looked completely ridiculous. Made him move it in line with the other one much to his annoyance. Another similar incident was with a vertical column rad for the kitchen - whilst I was specific enough this time to ask it be centered to the wall it was on, he installed it much higher than needed with about 30cm of pipe sticking out the bottom! It would have looked much better in line with the doorframe adjacent. Had to learn to live with that one. We had engineered wood floors put in upstairs - the fitter used the shortest wall in the smallest room to take a plumbline from. When it came into the hall it was obviously on a complete wonk. By this point I'd gotten a bit better at speaking up and ensuring we actually got what was needed (and paid for!). He had to take it up and re-lay using the hall as the plumbline. Looked so much better but he was extremely annoyed! After all this I learned to use masking tape to direct exactly where pipes/light switches/trim should be fitted so there was no room for 'interpretation'. I also forced myself to speak up more and advocate for what I really wanted. That said I'm a designer by trade so I generally know what I want and how to make it look good but was definitely a bit too shy to contradict trades in the beginning!
