Thanks.... slightly happier at the moment. Spoke to window company .... they are bringing a 175 mm cill with them and say that the specs are based on the surveyors measurements plus allowances for fitting .... Surveyor is also going to talk to my builder. Thank you for all the advice.

Thanks for the response. Without knowing the height of my current window and measurement to the floor how are you able to determine that there has not been allowance already for the height of the cill? I am going to call the company as I am not sure why the spec would not include a cill as...

I currently have a window that looks like this: So the window sits back in the wall. I am installing a french door here and these are the specs: My question is. The current window sits back in the wall so I am presuming the door will as well........ There is no mention of a cill in the...

Many thanks ..... job done...... no problem with pulling the wire out....

So removing a kitchen and have the unit around the oven removed. Do not want to kill myself but it would help greatly if I can get this oven out. It is going to the dump as not working properly anyway and about 30 years old. Attached are the photos of what I have. How do I make it all safe? I...

Thank you.... that is what seems to have been indicated to me here...... I definitely don't want the pipework inside the cabinets. Did consider a void but it seems under is an option. (Ikea do not have side panels that would allow for a void but i have thought of turning a door round....

Yes I am aware of that.... my question was based on whether the advice I have been given to put it on the RHS of the sink.... farthest away from the wall with the plumbing is correct?

Thanks - is that because it does not matter and what he has advised is wrong? (are you a plumber?)

Main part of my kitchen is going to run along a 5m wall in my kitchen (party wall). The water source coming from the outside is on the right end of the units. It is an ikea kitchen so services will run under the kickboards. My sink is in the centre of the wall. At the moment things are...

Thanks.... will post an outside picture as soon as I can.... dont believe there are any limiting factors..... - behind the wall where the run of kitchen units is ...... is my neighbours kitchen...... a party wall. I have a man coming to look at groundworks for outside anyway as I have a...

Maybe also could take waste out back of unit and chase into the wall? Not sure if this would be more or less work than the floor?

Hi all, Think i may live to regret this decision but hope not! Like most people I have my kitchen sink currently located under my window. I wish to install a new kitchen and make base use of the space and increase the light into a north facing room. I want to locate my new kitchen along...

I was going to use the size the surveyor told me he would take?

I would love a builder to come and do this but as I said above struggling! The windows take 5 weeks minimum to make from when they have the measurements … cannot imagine that I could have my home boarded up and secure for 5 weeks (in winter also)… maybe I’m wrong?

Hi Having a bit of a nightmare. Have 2 windows that I wish to replace with french doors. One is in the kitchen currently above kitchen sink unit run and the other is in a study. When I ordered them (along with windows for whole house) was not made clear to me that I would be responsible for...

thanks all for above ... even a rough idea of cost anyone? im in Northern Ireland. thanks

Hi, I have had a quote for replacing windows in my property. As part of this I want to replace 2 existing windows with french doors. One is in the kitchen, currently above the units where the sink is and the other is in a room currently used as a snug and has a radiator underneath. The...

I am taking up floor coverings but my concern in chasing the floors is mainly with regards to the mess ..... and previously ive been the person with a leak under concrete which required being out of my home for a year and a £650000 insurance claim

Hi thanks, At the moment the pipes are coming up from the floor.....

Hi all, Need to move radiators in various rooms in my bungalow. All concrete floors. Been thinking about how to do this. IMHO chasing the concrete will be messy and labour intensive and I will either need to hire or buy new tools. Plus getting at pipework if there are any leaks in the...
