Great question! We value a good night's sleep at Bloc Blinds and have developed the BlocOut Blind with that in mind. It provides an unmatched level of darkness in the home. We get a lot of feedback from customers about how much better sleep they are getting as a result both to reduced light in their own room but also due to their children sleeping in longer thanks to the light levels in their rooms too. It is a winner of multiple awards including the House Beautiful award for Best Eco Product and shortlisted this year for the Made for Mums awards under Best Nursery Product Category.

Hello, if you want the dormer to go the full width of the roof/ bungalow then that is a dormer loft conversion and you'll need architect plans, structural engineer calculations, planning permission as you are making changes to the front of your house...this can take weeks. I've just had mine done under permitted development but my dormer is at the back of the house and the builder said 6-8 weeks for the build itself. It only took 3 weeks to build the dormer structure but a few extra weeks to do the internal works, electrics, plastering, bathroom etc. If you get a building company that does lofts day in day out, they will be quicker and than someone that only does the odd loft now and again. Best thing to do is to drive around your area, see if there are similar projects going on and ask the owners they recommend the company carrying out the works, get some quotes in.

Thank you for those links MATH! Cute lampshade, but yes agree a tad expensive for a holiday let. The clock is a bargain, I need to forget my own personal taste and just fill the space I guess. I like the clocks its just it seems everyone seems to have them! Ive seen lots I like but all over £100 plus - I have to be disciplined!!

For selling your old ones in the UK, besides eBay and Gumtree, you might also consider Facebook Marketplace. It's a popular platform for buying and selling second-hand items locally. Another option is to check out local furniture consignment shops or charity shops that accept furniture donations. They may offer a hassle-free way to sell your sofas while also supporting a good cause. If you're up for a bit of bargaining and want to explore other items as well, you could also try visiting https://sacfleamarkets.com/.
