Hi, Getting a B&Q kitchen installed and the tops are solid steamed ash about 30-40 mm think. The design of the kitchen requires 4 corners to be rounded on an island unit and an undermout sink hole to be cut. It's not something I think an amateur can do. Does anyone know of someone who...

Thanks fellas. So you'd apply a wooden frame on the inside of the space, place on a metal plaster board bead to square off the space in the wall, then plaster over the bead, before screwing the hinges into the wooden frame? Good idea with the touch hinges though as they'd be spot on. Cheers...

Hi, I've just moved an access point doorway to a different area under the stairs. The door way is now on a long stretch of newly plastered wall and I want to paint the door the same colour as the wall so it blends in. Would I need to arcitrave (sp) around the door way and has anyone got any...

Somthing like that sounds good. They are thin enough that from the front you shouldn't be able to see them. I'll have to do some investigating :)

Hi, At the end of my extension there will be a few foot drop where the garden slopes away, so I'm going to need a built up patio so the ground is level with the exterior doors. Also I'm then going to need to have a wall/fence at the edge of this patio to stop the kids falling off it :roll: I...

Thanks for the info, how are you finding them?

Hi everyone, I've been reading this forum for a while and it's of great inspiration to me. I'm getting a kitchen extension built and have been doing loads of research on which doors to finish it off with. It will be a 12 ft-ish space that I'm toying with the idea of filling either: 1) 2 x...
