The kitchen supplier insisted I use his installer and not my builder. You are right the state of the kitchen looks awful - should have given it a tidy - sorry :oops: Surely I must have some legal clout here - especially as it was the kitchen supplier who arranged installation?

As kitchen less than 6 months old - do I have case against the supplier? Also if they shrug all responsibility what can I do to minimise damage and ensure this does not worsen - must be something I could do...??? Sealant perhaps??

This is the general layout of the kitchen.

It is the floor. Photos need to be rotated by 90 deg. clockwise. Thanks for the tips on the sealing strips but not sure how they would be fitted now ?

Only wet mop if anything. Should the trim not be sealed for such issues being a kitchen? Any ideas to repair or improve appearance?

We have a kitchen that is barely 6 months old. On the island, the trim seems to be separating from the wood near the floor side of the panels. The wood is now expanding. On one side, there was always a small 'defect' which can be seen in the pictures which may have caused the problem but it...

I am still confused - I have taken these pics. Which ones do I alter?

Thanks - is this something I should be able to do (non-DIY person) or is it a job for a window fitter?

Have two large sized centre-pivot windows in our new extension. Bought a pole which arrived today. When I open the window - it immediately closes due to the weight of the window around the pivot. Seems to be with both windows. Any ideas?

As part of our new extension, had new kitchen installed which has an island. Discovered what appears to be a chip where someone has clearly knocked something hard against the edge. I am not sure of the exact materials of the island - but seems to be wood underneath - I have attached some pics...

Sorry, this is to show the extension which will be an 'L'-shaped extension going along back and side. Would be grateful for your advice.

Thanks. Would you mind clarifying what you mean by 'minus the area of any openings removed from the main house' - I thought it was 'plus' - we are losing most of the back wall from the original house to create an open plan effect.

We are currently in the process of building a rear extension. I have sourced and almost paid for a set of 3.6 m bi-folding doors to be placed at the rear wall. The total length of the outside wall is approx. 9 m. Our architect has assured me there are no issues about this. However another...

Sorry for the confusion. Planning permission was granted for a ground floor rear and side extension. I assumed that he was going to put the loft in the same application.

Just wanted to confirm what people thought of as being the ideal floor surface to lay over a 'wet' underfloor heating system. Wanted wood, but have been told that tiles are the best for conduction. We plan to lay the pipes over concrete.
