Hi, we have a slight condensation problem in our hallway and we are wondering if wallrock thermal paper would work.

Depends what is causing the condensation

You need to find out what’s causing the condensation first. There’s no use just trying to cover it up and hide it. If there’s a problem you need to sort it.

Do you need a hallway radiator?
Q

Hi, We'd definitely recommend keeping the hallway radiator, you'd be surprised how cold it will get without it! Like others have said: Any heat that does reside in the hallway will rise upstairs and dissipate. The cold hallway will sap the heat from all your rooms and you will most definitely feel a draft coming from the doors in all the rooms. Replace the radiator with a nice one or install a radiator cover.

Renovation! - plug sockets, light switches and more...

I feel like I'm making loads of decision but still not really getting anywhere. There is so much to think about! Spotted some lovely toggle light switches so I've already bought them. I know where the light switches are going but its a case of figuring out the best places to put the plug sockets because we have so many in my mums house but we still run out! We've opted for a few USB sockets too so at least if we are charging phones and laptops, we are freeing space for other things too. In terms of kitchen layout, the suggestion of the seating in the bay window is great but because that would mean the kitchen would have to go at the other end, we've decided against this. It would work, and would probably be the best option once the horrible extension is knocked down but at the moment, the extension blocks all the sun light on that side so the kitchen would be very dim and dark for a while. The extension is something we are saving for and is more likely to be done in 4-5 years time so I'm not sure it makes sense to be in a dark corner for that length of time. We've had the house a month tomorrow and so far it has been ripping the house apart. January is the month we put everything back! Super excited. Plumber, heating engineer and builders are all put to the task in January. New floor in the kitchen, wall removed and built up again to accommodate the new window so that we can have units underneath, first fix plumbing, first fix heating and boiler installation. All other windows to be installed. Hoping that guttering and chimneys can be looked at too! We have a chimney breast on almost every wall which I'm sure was great for heating years ago but as they are no longer used, they cause so many damp issues! I bought paint tester pots today - I have no idea why, we are nowhere near ready for that but it just felt nice to buy something pretty and cosmetic rather than look at insulation and damp proofing. P.S; any suggestions on obscure glass for the bathroom and hallway? I've been given a huge list of options but unsure as to what to choose. Thinking just Contora or Arctic?

1930’s semi - best open plan layout for kitchen/diner or all open?
Q
Comments (24)
I’m struggling to find a way to have a kitchen/island (really would like an island to have useable counterspace), generous dining table (seating for at least 6 people) and a sitting area in the same room if we don’t open up the wall between the current front and back living rooms. Would it make more sense to have part of the garage incorporated into the kitchen? There is a slight difference in floor level though between the garage and kitchen (Step down into the garage). Or block up the current kitchen door and have the access to a dining/kitchen through the current back living room space and then somehow fit in a dining table and seating area?

First I'll post some more before photos. I don't have any after photos exactly because in many ways this is still a work in progress - we have done the thermal improvements that have improved the comfort levels, but not the aesthetic improvements... It is currently being used as a filming location as well though so you will see parts of this house in a sky drama very soon... This is the rooflight at the top of the stairwell. I took out the smaller rooflight to the north facing slope of the roof (the one on the left of this picture) and replaced the larger rooflight with a new aluminium framed double glazed unit. The reason for this choice is because aluminium is next to no maintenance and the height of this roof is such that maintenance is both very costly and a health and safety risk.. It's always better to design out health and safety risks if possible by making maintenance as easy as possible - or as in this instance as close to not necessary as possible. We also used glass with a coating that means it won't need regular cleaning either. As you can see there are also rooflights at ceiling level and these have textured glass so you don't see the rooflights above at all once now they are closed. As you can see the original eternal rooflights weren't much to look at so we didn't lose anything very special by replacing these timber framed rooflights with new aluminium framed ones. We also added in a loft hatch with drop down ladder over the landing so that you can access the roof space safely - this will make it possible to clean the top of the internal rooflights etc... Since the roof is so high and the south facing slope is to the rear of the house and not overlooked the replacement rooflights are also not a detraction from the original, plus we added a large array of solar PV to this slope...
