try DULUX DIAMOND GLAZE when you varnish it, it's water base, don't use gloss though as it looks pants, satin or matt finish looks best on floors.
you could also OIL it using this if you want instead...
OSMO oils

i've picked up ronseal's hard one... satin medium oak. Looked at Dulux's Diamond a while back when we did the other floors and remember scoffing at the price. That was at dulux trade place too.
Dont take this the wrong way..... but I do know what I'm doing

yeas Adam the shaver socket should be just a deep double back box. unless your socket is some obscure one from abroad. i have had only one shaver socket in the past that didn't fit on a standard back box so i fancy your chances.

The wooden prefab ones range from about 4k up... We'd prob be looking around 10-12k for what we're after

Haven't really updated this for a while
New glass splashback was finally fitted last week. They cocked up a bit with the measurements so need to come back to move the sockets so that they can be refitted.
Looks pretty good though
Just really the cooker hood to go up now
En suite is finished now too, and the bedroom is pretty much there, just need to give it a proper tidy up.
Will get photos one day!
