What's the layout downstairs. If you have room you could replace the staircase with straight steps brought forward 3 or so steps so it forms a flat landing at the top rather than the ankle breaker configuration you currently have planned. My neighbour did this and it worked well although it may...

What's behind the wall at the end of the stairs? Have you got the full layout of upstairs to hand? Downstairs plan would help as well

Have you got the room to pull the staircase forward to create a flat landing? In my opinion it would make your extension feel more part of the house rather than an add on. I'm no expert on building regs but if you have young children then having the layout like that all looks a bit dangerous...

Can you post the full.plans? We had a similar problem with our stairs when extending.

How small is small?

They are larder size integrated. Not easy to get out.

Hi guys, New kitchen is almost in. The electrician has put in isolators for all of the appliances except the larder fridge and freezer. These are hard wired in behind the fridges themselves so no access. Is there a building regulation that says isolation must be provided? Does it matter...

Right guys I've taken the plunge with some quickstep pulse click lvt. It's going in the kitchen and the hallway. In the kitchen the skirting will.go on afterwards and the floor can be run under the units slightly. Again the hallway I'll take the skirting off. We have french doors in the...

The underlay is the heat stuff from quickstep 1.5mm and the flooring is 4.5mm. Would you trim 7mm to be safe? Also should you apply silicon between the floor and the end panels to stop water getting in? Thanks

Will try to get a sample Monday. If I can't is it enough to speak to quickstep and get the specs on the floor and underlay? I have read they advise some red underlay now to help with heat dispersion? Any truth in that?

Hi guys, Having a new kitchen. Units are in and templating for worktop is Monday with it being fitted Thursday. We are having quickstep lvt but floor fitter has said the the base end panels and breakfast bar end panel ideally should have the flooring running under them as otherwise you'll...

It runs from the consumer unit I think.

thanks for the confirmation

Hi, Just about to order this. The electrician in our new kitchen has put a 4mm cable in for the oven. I am pretty sure he based the cable on this oven. Will that do for this as its 13 amp 2.9kw...

Thanks. The units aren't properly in they are just in position. It was just bad timing with the delivery of the kitchen really. Luckily I wasn't painting myself as the guy was a genius working round the units.

Hi guys, What is the norm here. New kitchen was empty so decorator did a mist coast on all the walls and ceiling. Unfortunately before they could the first proper coat of the our chosen colour the kitchen arrived. As the fitter had set out the kitchen the decorator didn't paint behind 3 tall...

would a Salamander Homeboost actually work in my situation? I can't see how it can improve things as surely can only work with whats coming in.

Yes i think its m head. I would have to get the plumber back to measure the pressures. One thing worth noting is the flow start off very good and then drops off. I have read this indicates a blockage somewhere. In my case I would have thought the main water line. I'm not sure how the outside...

forgot to add the pressure at the street is 38m/h.

This is the best photo. All the floors are concrete and the distance from the road to the stopcock is about 20m
