kitchen

Hi all. I am about to have my new kitchen installed but am a bit confused by integrated microwave sizes. The unit is a tall (2340 mm) oven and appliance housing. So is it simply a matter of overall size - the legs (150 mm) which leaves 2190 mm. Then take off the doors and the oven...

Want to remove 2 old laminate worktops and replace with solid wood items. Both approx 250cm x 60cm, joined together (L shape) In my mind I thought “a grand to buy the worktops and a grand to pay someone to do the work” but the only quote I’ve had so far is £3,500 (+VAT), which made my eyes...

Hi, I've decided to put up an extar 60cm cupboard in my kitchen but thinking the door size could be a problem because of how far out a 60cm door would swing. I'm wondering about using two 30cm doors instead, but this means there'll be a gap between the doors, so I'm worried that will look...

As you can see from the diagram there is a foul drain running underneath a side extension to our home. The man hole on the left is in the garage, the one on the right is outside the back of the house. The challenge is: How do we connect the drains for the dishwasher and sink on the new island...

I have a simple question, to which I have been getting conflicting answers: Can I cut a section out of a flat roof joist to run through some ducting? Happy for it to be flat channel. The rafters are 170mm. I've seen some info but think it's about floor boards: I have seen enforcement...

Hi, I have recently moved into a new flat and would like to change the kitchen tap but have never seen before a mounting bracket as the one in the attached photo. Anyone could advise me on how to uninstall it? Also, the hex screw to remove the lever has been completely rounded so any ideas on...

In the process of renovating our kitchen and after removing the faceplate of 1 double socket with the intention of replacing the faceplate and adding a spur I've found there's 4 cables feeding it. 4 live, 4 neutral, 4 earths. All 2.5mm t+e. Now there's two feeding it from above, both I assume...

Hi All, I’m currently having a new kitchen installed and noticed quite a few chips in the worktop and in the bottom of the kitchen cabinets. I flagged this up to the builder who tells me he’ll fix it but he has just painted over the chips. Am I being too pedantic in asking for these to be...

I've bought a stainless steel splash back to fix behind my gas hob instead of tiles. I bought Grip Tite to fix it but on reading the tube it says it's highly flammable. Have I got the wrong product and, if so, what should I have bought to fix it that's non flammable? I'd rather be safe than...

What do the most recent regs say about washing machines in bathrooms? My (2.5m x 2.1m) ground floor bathroom and 1st floor kitchen need rearranging: obviously, the washing machine really needs to be in the bathroom (below the kitchen). The 2 main trips on the CU are RCD protected. Thank you...
