I have have run out of shelf space and have to choose what to pass on before I can buy any more...tough choices. :-)...See MoreHelp with kitchen extension full of damp low sloping ceilings
Comments (13)I would definitely recommend finding out the sources of damp in the extension before you embark on any project. As was mentioned before - definitely check the guttering as a lot of the bubbled plaster inside seems to be around that area. I once looked at a house which had a line of bubbled plaster inside and, surprise surprise, directly outside on the solid was was a gutter pipe. A good inspection of the roof is worth it - are the lead flashings in good shape? There is also the odd exposed section of brick on your neighbours extension - could that be transmitting water into your party wall? The other thing to consider is the amount if moisture produced in a kitchen - its a lot more than you think and can raise humidity in a house over 60% (therefore leading to mould, etc). Therefore opening windows when cooking, adding an extractor fan are good ideas. You can buy devices very cheaply which will tell you the humidity in a room. It will help you out in the long run - afterall, if you do the rework to the extension the problem may re-occur!...See MoreReally low ceiling in loft - is conversion do-able?
Comments (12)You do have to build a whole new roof (depending on size and complexity may be £40k including tiling). However if you increase the square footage of a £400k house by 20% you could add up to £80 k to the value and it could still be cheaper than moving. https://www.homebuilding.co.uk/roof-cost-guide/ The benefit of putting on a new roof is that you can specify attic trusses- this means that you have the required space and strength to put a room up stairs. Alot of the cost of loft conversions is creating the space and strengthening the joists to take a habitable room....See MoreTop 10 Kitchen design tips.
Comments (1)Top 10 kitchen design tips: The kitchen’s function has changed in recent years. Once a space designed primarily with food preparation in mind, the modern kitchen has become the centrepiece of the family home. The evolution of this room means that it’s commonly the area of the home we spend most money on. So getting it right is crucial. 1) Talk to a designer or sketch out the units and layout including; depth of cabinets as well as worktop height. This is an important stage as it will influence location of supporting steel, windows and doors. 2) Visit showrooms, read reviews and think about what kitchen style you want- contemporary? Traditional?... Thinking about this in early stages will avoid taking rushed decisions and overpaying. 3) While designing the layout of the kitchen make sure that there will be enough space for people to pass comfortably (usually space of around 1-1.5m). 4) Do your homework! Search about different materials that your kitchen can be made from (e.g. Chipboard? MDF? Wood?). This will help to get the best value of money as you will know what to expect. 5) Think what cabinets you had in the past, what did you like and more importantly- dislike about them. Make sure that you tell this to your architect/designer. This is an important step as you will have to live years with the new kitchen. 6) Start thinking about your wall colours, ceiling colours and flooring. This will help to pick cabinet colours as well as worktop. 7) When it comes to cabinet finishes, think about the future. Spray paint finishes are more durable and easy to re-spray. Wood finished kitchen cabinets will discolour in direct sunlight and this should be considered at the design stage. 8). Leave lighting to the professionals. There are many ways to illuminate your space and even more ways to do it badly. 9) Start thinking about a splashback; glass? Tiles? Colour? Texture? 10) Relax and enjoy your kitchen.
