Just wanted to say what a fantastic kitchen. So pleased you're keeping it! Formica would be the period correct work surface and can still be bought but may not fit with your budget? I would also look at having a carpenter produce your cabinets. They can be cheaper than off the shelf and would be better build. To save some money you could buy cheap plain carcasses and have a carpenter make doors to match the existing ones that you can then paint. That's what i'd do!

Hi. We also had some walls coming down. We had total 3 steel beams inserted. One - in line with joists,which easly could be 40 cm higher- and hidden, second - in opposite direction to joists which needed to be much lover , and third on external wall for French door. All 3 of them are connected and linked together - to be able to link them all 3 have to be on correct hight -under first floor joists. We have specified bolting not welding- purely for exposure. All 3 beams are visible ( yes, we have building control prrecision). If you box around them and whole celings are same coulor after a while you will stop noticing "beam drop". Our Whole kitchen walls and ceilings is white -black steel beams stand out even more. It may not be to everyone taste. But we love our steel.

Reduced VAT on renovating a house that has been empty?
Q
Comments (6)
Hi, yes it is possible to only pay 5% VAT on renovations, but under certain conditions. It has to be not lived in for 2 years prior to work starting. This can be proven by council tax records, utility bills, etc or better still a certificate from an empty homes officer. The builders/contractors need to be VAT registered and they will need to agree to reduced rate before work starts. Basically they will want to know if they can claim the VAT back from HMRC then pass on the savings to you. This site explains it better: https://renovateme.co.uk/blog/reduced-vat-for-renovation/. And read section 8 on here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-notice-708-buildings-and-construction/vat-notice-708-buildings-and-construction#reduced-rating-the-renovation-or-alteration-of-empty-residential-premises

Help worried my patio has been ruined by tradesman today!

As mentioned, dilute patio cleaner or even vinegar will break down the thin layer of cement that is binding the sand onto the surface, then wash it off. If you are concerned about losing the patination, I have used a mixture of soil and compost made into a slurry, spread it over the surface and let it dry then sweep off the excess. What is left behind provides colour and nutrients for lichens, algae and mosses to grow back. There are other things but that is the simplest.
