Hi I’m also a developer/PRL, and the best price of advice I was given when I was starting out was to remember that on low to mid range profit projects (if not all projects) controlling your spending is the most important thing to remember, and every £ you spend is a £ less profit. I too hate uPVC windows and would not have them on my own home, but many people do like them and see them as a positive when it comes to buying/selling – just look at the houses either side of your house, and I assume along the whole of the street; people do like them! With my developer head on I would suggest that you try to work with what you already have - clean the uPVC frames inside and out with a solvent based professional cleaner, these really shift dirt and marks, and to a certain extent make scratches less noticeable as it removes the ingrained dirt. Replace the interior handles – new ones can be found online at around £1.99 each if you bulk buy. Replace any worn seals with a new universal fitting seal (approx £16 for 20m). If any of the windows are blown/misted, look at replacing the sealed glazed unit instead of the whole window, again the sealed units can be found quite cheaply online. With regards to your porch, it looks like it is integrated with the front window, so removing it would be a time consuming and costly job, so I would leave it as is and possibly look at just replacing the outer door, ideally one with a glazed panel to give a bit more light. I know you said you don't like uPVC doors, however, composite doors are more expensive. As you won't be living there does it really matter if you install a white uPVC door, as long it is the most tasteful and least offensive one you can find. An alternative would be to install fully glazed French doors with both sides opening, which would possibly mean that the doors can open inwards. All of these can be bought online and be fitted yourself – however, you will need to check if you will require a FENSA certificate issuing for the work, otherwise this could cause issues when you come to sell. I wouldn't advise painting the uPVC, as it is really difficult to obtain a good finish, and nothing looks worse than poorly finished paintwork either inside or outside. As others have said, remove the nets, put up some nice curtains (these can be removed and reused on other projects), don't worry regarding privacy, as again you will not be living there, and it will allow more light into the room. If the privacy angle does bother you, you can always put a plain white voile (costs around £2 per m, and a couple of £ for the rod) up at the window with little or no fullness, which gives a more modern, less fussy finish. I would move the dustbins to the rear of the property, and put a couple of large pots in the front garden – I tend to use Olive trees as they can be shaped and don't mind too much if they aren't watered regularly – these can also be removed and used on other projects. Hope this helps – and good luck for the future!

How can I make this kitchen look more industrial?
Q

So the sink and oven position are fixed- no problem. For me the things that stop this feeling industrial are the suburban elements such as the conventional sink with drainer, the drawer line cabinets, the open display unit, the hanging baskets of flowers and the chimney extractor. In my opinion a little exposed brick isn’t enough to pull this into an industrial look when there is so much conventional stuff. Personally I think you should be looking to add a chunky sink and taps. Build a chunky chimney to hide an extractor, choose cabinets that are random sizes and avoid having lots of matching cabinets. Consider non matching cabinets for the wall- personally I would go tall. And as far as decoration I think instead of flowers you should be thinking Iron furniture or clocks, antique mirror, tarnished brass, weather wood, reclaimed slate, anything vintage, etc, etc. Your visual doesn’t show lighting /. Consider the best way to do this and think Anglepoise lamps, wall hanging lanterns and oversized ceiling fixtures. I also think that if you want to go industrial you should cover up the floor and a click together floor or a vinyl are cost effective ways of doing this

how to centre a light fixture/s above an extending dining table
Q

Hi Angel This a a common questions and it always comes down to what minor things you can sacrifice to get the best of all worlds. Do I have a pendant to create a dining zone? Do I try and retain the view outside? Do I make the space versatile for parties? In my opinion a light over the table looks great if you do not have one already over the kitchen island (if you have one). Keep the light above head level (of most of your usual guests) so that you can talk to each other . It may be worth cutting out cardboard and offering it above the table to see what works for you. The light doesnt have to be too imposing it could be something light the light below. or maybe something that is a feature but still see through like the below There are not many rise and fall lights out there that can really reduce that much to be out of the way on a standard height ceiling but if you have tall ceilings then it could work. I hope this helps, and good luck with your project.

How can I make my garden wall more attractive and less oppressive?
Q

Yes you could put mirror in front. It might be a bit disconcerting to catch sight of yourself when you look out? Clematis montana is great when is in flower but doesnt do much for the reast of the year, it can get huge and after a few years the stems will be very woody and not very attractive, so I would suggest planting it a way away from the wall so it doesnt take over. Could you post close up pics of the plants above the wall and the planting area?
