Comments (14)Hi there,potentially a great project.You have a superb blank canvas from which to create a landscape. Freshscaped will be able to assist you,I am sure. Meanwhile,if you seek inspiration.....have a look on my website under Portfolio sections; Landscaping and Poolhouses. A recently completed job in Kent where we added woodland,a stream,wild meadow, an eco office,and a superb Marston & Langinger orangery type building. I would be more than happy to put forward some ideas that Freshscaped could develop, or indeed assist with any Interior Renovations you may be doing also. I am based in Surrey,and work in London & the home counties. Best of luck,and do drop me a line if I can be of any inspiration to you. www.bellawhiteleyinteriors.co.uk...See MoreWin tickets to Grand Designs Live - tell us your Grand Designs dream!
Comments (17)My partner & I bought a fishery with 2 lakes just over a year ago, the entire 10 acre site was very neglected, but we have renovated the lakes so that the anglers have a wonderful experience in beautiful surroundings. Our dream now is to renovate the house, reconfiguring the property so that we too can enjoy the beauty of our surroundings. There is also an acre of garden to landscape, we have many ideas but ideas on where to start would be fantastic...See MorePOLL: Single, double or triple glazed?
Comments (55)chanti1, my grandparents used to have massive condensation problems with their double glazing as it was added as an afterthought, it had about a 4 inch gap and was not sealed so they would have to keep cloths in the gap to mop it all up. In my parents house there were a couple of windows prone to this problem between the panes - caused when the seal on the double glazed units failed. Because you can't get to it the result is eventually mould. The units had to be changed which to my mind seems drastic and wasteful. There should be a way of removing, cleaning and resealing units on site. Of course condensation happens with single glazing all the time. Where I live now we get condensation on the outside of the window at night. Air conditioning indoors and extreme humidity outside with night time temperatures still in the high twenties centigrade does that....See MoreSmall and Dark Kitchen renovation help
Comments (16)We're really far from there too (south coast) but fortunately my partner works up north so he popped in on his way to Newcastle. To be honest, he only popped in to get an idea if quality in comparison to places like wren, howdens etc. The quality was definitely better (we went for the stanbury). We had builders in at the time so I just got them to measure then deducted 50mm from each side to account for uneven walls. Definitely research your fitter. We used our carpenter and to be honest he made the kitchen look really expensive. Would definitely recommend getting your worktops through them. They outsource to a stone Mason who comes and measures after the kitchen has been installed so you don't have to do this part. From measuring to fitting, worktops took 2 weeks. We saved about £1500 on silestone quartz by going through them. We haven't quite finished by here's some photos to give you an idea of quality x...See MorePatrina
