    Badly filled chased wall

    ok will do our best lol! Forgot to mention the second hole near the bifold doors is for outside lights. Our electrician was a disaster tbh, he’s also done a poor job on sockets also (gaps, not lining up), no idea how to fix that!

    Appliances too high for worktop, end panels too low

    Appliances too high for worktop, end panels too low

    Ok so our new kitchen is almost fitted but the worktop supplier said there should be a gap between worktop and appliances - not sure why our carpenter didn’t keep the end panels between units as oversize, instead he trimmed them down to line up with them! He actually says he trimmed them to...

    What constitutes 'building commencement'?

    I know it sounds self explanatory, but are there ways to 'commence' building works in a very small way? here's the situation: we live in a terraced house, been waiting to build our approved two storey extension for over a year. We are having delays due to one side who won't sign a party wall...
