Reading mixed things and since Mr. Building Control is out for other things he'll no doubt be looking. Can I get away with 650mm?

The front trims I need to investigate a solution for.

I've added the door which is why it's a cavity wall.

And the cavity would be filled with wood up to the level of the brick, then later removed? I may have it wrong but the inner masonry doesn't look like concrete block. That would make more sense though to lay an inner course and fill that with concrete rather then faffing with wood. Guessing!

Not this big, plenty of 600x300's on walls though. On to nice flat ply won't be hard. I didn't think porcelain would stain, not like wood will anyway? The grout yes, but a dark grout less so. Epoxy grout, I was thinking more if a tile does get cracked and it needs cutting out. These are ones I...

The thing with epoxy is you can't repair it, won't a dark grey grout look decent after a lot of usage? It does on my bathroom floor (not that I urinate on it mind). If I go with beech I need 3 joins as 4M lengths are hard to come by. These large 1200mm tiles aren't much more, perhaps 5 or 6.

Putting in a garage step and it's allowed me to see the concrete fill. Having no experience with foundations I'm curious: a) what the process is here, does the inner get filled with rubble/dirt level to the blocks, sheet down, wood of height equal to two bricks placed on the outer bricks and...

I've got a month before the kitchen arrives to choose my poison. I do think wood is the wrong material for the job at least around the sink where water will always splash out to the back. Silicone it all I can it'll still sit on the wood and absorb eventually and there's plenty of people...

I'm very much expecting to have this problem as no wall in my house is straight, not by a long shot. The long side of the L is 4.5M. It's why I've been considering tiling the worktop rather than beech. Having not fitted a kitchen before I'll be learning as I go. I think the service void is a...

I was thinking big floor tiles, 600 x 300 to minimise the grout. Going backwards and forwards on whether it's a good idea over beech.

The plonkers that built my house in the 80's decided for no other reason then they could to build the kitchen wall less then the standard kitchen depth. Here's a picture from dit-kitchens 3d planner. As I've squeezed the space as much as I can there's 2-5mm between the end and the silly wall. I...

They've come back, I can get 1ltr for £40 exc, but either pickup or a courier but it has to be a precise time and couriers won't do that. Something to sort later on, so I've ordered.

I'm in the process of choosing a kitchen surface and thinking why not porcelain tiles on plywood? As I see it there are no drawbacks other than time. 1. totally waterproof 2. tough 3. tiles can be replaced if it comes to that with a mini grinder to cut them out 4. cheap, somewhere between...

Devil might be in the detail. So I need a small end panel made from 2.5mm mdf (diy-kitchen end panels are 18mm). I enquired about paint and have been told... You get 50ml touch up paint, that's it. No further paint can be ordered. The paint doesn't use RAL codes so having more to match would...

I don't think the doors i was looking at were as they had 2mm abs edging. When I choose one which does say it's painted the difference is only £300 + vat. I think you forgot moisture bulging?

How they fail? It's £800 for solid wood upgrade, unsure if it's worth it, deliberating...

Howdens got back to me, they're a grand more with their 'sale price' about 40% more. They won't give the detailed quote unless you go in though as they don't want comparing. F**k 'em!

I've speced a design using their online tool and can't see any drawbacks, and it's £800 more for solid wood doors.

The only thing that put me off is if you need to order any spares you have to spare a £99 delivery charge?

Hallo all, First kitchen install about to happen, I'm doing my research. Due to location likely going with one of the above. I haven't had prices but I'm a tight northerner and will haggle Howdens to something reasonable (or they can bog off). Knowing modern day companies I'm sure the 25 year...
