    Quartz splashback

    I am annoyed with the kitchen fitter he should have known this. The end panels would have been fine though as they managed to get it tight on the side near the kitchen splashback. However there is another decor panel strip under the cabinets which should have been taken off so that they didn't...

    Nope, one side they notched around the end decor panel so where it meets the hob area and other side at the end of the kitchen it doesn't

    Quartz splashback

    Husband is saying he will put backer rod then caulk on top. It's not very visible but I'm still annoyed after spending all that money. Going through things thoroughly. Telling the fitter we won't use his guy after he templated with the perspex method as it was clear the fitter wanted to play...

    Quartz splashback

    The units are parallel and plum. As the left hand units sit flush on the quartz they can't come down. The right hand units if they came down then wouldn't be same height as other side

    Quartz splashback

    What can I even do at this stage? How can I take this up with the company? They have otherwise been very professional. Any removal of quartz will pull the plasterboard away this is a newbuild house.

    Quartz splashback

    Is it normal to have such a big gap? I feel it will be visible from our dining room when sitting down.

    Quartz splashback

    Isn't that the point of templating with the use of lasers though so you get the perfect cut out irregardless of cupboards not being true?

    Quartz splashback

    They also agreed to notch out a gap for the wires for led lights but in the end we ended up with gaps not notches

    Quartz splashback

    Quartz splashback has a 7mm gap and I am quite upset as I thought it would go right up to the top. When the templating was done he asked if the bottom part of the cupboard can come off to which my husband said the kitchen fitter is done and not coming back. Only to later realise that this panel...

    Toilet ventilation

    I wouldn't know we have only been in the house for 5 years. In that time we only noticed the smells get bad when we stopped using it and opened up some of the pipework boxing. I do wonder though if sometimes when the house smelt stale was it actually due to the ducting not venting all the way out.

    Toilet ventilation

    The toilet has been there since the house was built 25 years ago. We have been doing other renovations and discovered the ducting ends in between the floorboards and ceiling. There is no shower so I don't expect moisture but more worried about the odours. As we've been ripping out some of the...

    Toilet ventilation

    For a toilet under the stairs does the ducting vent need to taken outside? Previously the ducting was vented in between the floorboards but looks as if the ducting was cut in the middle and never made it all the way out. Although from the outside it looks like there was a vent and the wall was...

    DIY MDF Skirting

    Which grit sandpaper did you use and did you only sand the edges? Was it oil based paint you used? Thanks

    DIY MDF Skirting

    Would this also be the case if we bought the pre cut primed and ready? We couldn't possibly spray paint them once they are permanently on! I get the whole dust issue in the groove but going over it with a hoover brush should be fine. I know it will always be finicky to paint over but that's the...
