kitchen

We have an unsightly hole in kitchen where cables and pipes come out of (see pic ) it has a musty smell and full of crumbling rubble what’s safest best way to fill it ? Not sure if expanding foam can be used for wires Thanks

Glued down lino is definitely not an option, hateful stuff to change. B&Q do click vinyl, but it only clicks properly along it's length, quite a few poor reviews too. Does anyone know of a good brand, maybe that uses HDF, fits together well, and won't chip if a kid drops a Tonka on it? Of a...

I have an upstairs galley kitchen, sadly the stud wall between it and the lounge is mid-wayish between floor joists - you should just be able to make out staggered lost-heads to the left of the door frame. Some 18mm click flooring to continue floor level from top of t&g, with maybe a recessed in...

I want someone to build me an all in one unit in a Spanish/Greek design in my kitchen. It will have holes for in built oven and open storage areas for fridge and pans etc. I’d also like the counter top to have a sink which looks to be part of the counter. The ones I’ve seen (photos attached so...

Should these always be tiled?

Ill get some pictures added asap, but untill then im hoping to repair a black laminate worktop that has been scuffed and lightly scrached to the point where some areas are looking more of a misty grey colour. Is there any kind of polish/product that can get the worktop back to black?

Looking to get our kitchen worktop to extend into the corner of the kitchen (see picture). The previous owner of the house had their fridge there, hence the gap. Would this be a case of replacing the whole length or could a place be added just to fit the corner. If you placed a piece just in...

I'm having a new kitchen in the near future and want to understand the electrical side of the installation before I get an electrician involved so that I’ve got decent idea of what to expect. I’m going to be having the following and have either got their specific loads, or one of a similar...

Our never ending joy of a previous DIY "enthusiast" kitchen has brought us another present. Looking to replace the flooring (laminate vinyl) but it has been fitted underneath the units (great idea right?). Really we are looking for the easiest way out and our hope is that cutting around the...

Hi, im fitting new kitchen units but keeping my electric oven and ceramic hob. On taking them out i can see 6mm t n e surface clipped coming from the ccu above, it goes straight into the hob connection , but then the oven flex is in there aswell ! Is that OK ? It looks dodgy to me, i thought...

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a new property and it hinges, to a fair degree, on the ability to create a little more living space. I've attached 4 images to this post. basement-floorplan-options.jpg: What I'd like to achieve. option is 1) is a fallback, Option 2) is preferred, and option 3)...

Sorry to ask, but can anybody identify this tile? I want to extend it along the worktop as a splashback but as the kitchen was put in before we moved in, I don't know what tiles they are. It was installed by Wickes so I'm presuming they're fairly standard porcelain tiles used in their kitchen...

Hi Guys, I am just wondering if anyone out there knows of any Granite or Quartz Kitchen Worktop Fitters in the area. Due to personal health issues, the majority of my kitchen refurb budget was spent on my health costs treatment. I still have some funds left, though, not enough for the...

Hi everyone, I was hoping to switch the downstairs of my small flat, moving the kitchen to where the lounge is and the lounge to the kitchen - it would make a lot more sense space wise. I've mocked up the design but someone raised that it might be a fire regs issue as there one one the one...

I'm installing a new sink in our kitchen, and am at the stage of installing the waste pipe work. The threads that connect the pipework to the sink waste, are they all the same size? I ask as p traps come in 32-38-40mm sizes. I am assuming this is just the connecting pipe OD size and doesn't...

Hi all Sorry if this is a daft question, but is there any chance someone could help us to identify the cartridge in the pictures attached, or point us in the right direction? I'm not well enough to replace the whole tap but can replace the cartridge, and unfortunately I can't afford £60 +...
