Hi Bill - thanks for the advice. Wasn't planning on any water/drains but I will see if I can put a duct in for future use.

While I am here can anyone advise where I can get some 50mm rebar mesh spacers/supports at short notice? Next day delivery a requirement. I am a bit behind with the photos but the floor pour is looking like this Saturday.

ibuildstuff4u:
Are you looking to use the spacers to hold up the rebar in the concrete?  If so they aren't really needed as long as your rebar is tied together you can just pull it up while pouring the concrete.  I have seen people use bricks snapped in half as spacers too, but personally I think that this causes a week spot in the concrete.

Good luck with the pour!

Time for a catch up with the photos I reckon.

Hardcore going in before compaction:

Great stuff, Chris. Must have been hot work, if you are having weather like ours near Manchester.
