Can't create kerb appeal
Comments (8)Hi, only just come across this post now so have you managed to remove the ivy and paint your fences yet as would be good to see what you have done! Another thing you could also think about would be adding some outdoor lighting, perhaps some lanterns which are very popular sellers for us. Many of these are also available with built in PIR Sensors so are also a good security feature for you home too. A couple of examples are below for you but our range can be viewed here: Wall Lanterns or ones with PIR Sensors here Wall Lights with PIR Sensors Please let us know though if you would like any more information and I'll be happy to help! I wouldn't worry about rubbish coming in from outside though as no matter what you do this is going to happen anyway! We have gates on our driveway at home and rubbish still manages to find its way in!...See MoreDownstairs reconfiguration - which room where?
Comments (7)Hi there! This looks like a good plan. I think I like option 2 better than the first. The kitchen is located just next to the dining room and also the dining room separates the kitchen from the lounge. In terms of activity flow of tis area to maximise the use of this space best, I think option 2 would be better. Guests in the lounge can be invited to eat in the dining room, but unlike plan 1, food cannot go directly into the lounge, unless through the dining area. Regarding shifting the toilet to the garage, it would be costly first, as you rightly mentioned, but would also bring about issues with ventilating the toilet. Garages are generally stuffy and most time lack windows and I therefore think it would be not appropriated to add more foul smell to the already poorly ventilated garage. I hope this was helpful and I'll be happy to help you further.

Comments (22)extraction comes under part F of building regs, so your architect should be detailing this in the plans for the extension. As i understand part F the important bit is Part F When inserting or removing an internal wall, care should be taken not to make ventilation worse. Any new kitchen, a toilet with no openable window; a bath/shower room or utility room should be provided with a mechanical extract fan. The type of room will determine how much ventilation is required. Part F says that where a kitchen previously had only a recirculating fan this can be retained/replaced if it is made no worse. However, I would always recommend fitting an extractor to deal with condensation. • Kitchen: 30l/s if over the hob and 60l/s if placed elsewhere so you could have an expelair type extractor on an external wall that will comply with regs at a minimum....See MoreProcess of choosing an architect
Comments (3)Thanks for your replies. Ricky, we have given our brief vision and said we're wondering if an extension is needed or whether we could reconfigure the space we already have and both just said yes that's do-able rather than giving and suggestions or ideas. Thanks Sarh123, I think we'll ask to see some examples of similar jobs they've done, they should have portfolio's I'm guessing....See MoreChris Goodchild
