I have kitchen and bathroom works available to quote in Hertfordshire

Which cooker hoods are actually suitable for kitchen diners. If I follow the recommendation of changing the air 10x per hour then I need an extraction rate of about 750m3 per hour for a medium sized kitchen diner. Those listed online only reach this level in turbo mode. My existing one is...

I'm self installing additional cabinets to make a peninsula for my kitchen with a breakfast bar on one of the sides. The integrated dishwasher will be at the end of peninsula, so wondering what kind of support would be needed for the quartz worktop and waterfall as the dishwasher doesn't really...

I just stripped (melamine maybe?) laminate from MDF kitchen cabinet doors. I removed all the residual glue too. So the doors are prepared well. I then used (2 coats, each lightly sanded) Leyland Acrylic Primer Undercoat finally followed by (2 coats, lightly sanded) Dulux Easycare Bathroom paint...

So, when we came back from the supermarket, lo and behold the kitchen is in a blackout. Everything works fine elsewhere in the flat, apart from this. Weirdly enough the fuse box has all the switches in the ON position. Have flipped some of those on/off including the main one, but the kitchen...

Hi there, I just wanted to ask if it is normal to plaster the walls and ceiling after fitting the base units? I just feel that it isn’t the scheme of things. Our kitchen fitter has fixed our new base units after levelling them but is yet to plaster/ skim the walls surrounding it. He says he...

I have a tall roller shutter unit on the kitchen which got stuck. I cannot open it more than 30 cm and then it rolls down (photo attached) so I cannot access the shelving behind it. The kitchen is 11 years old so out of warranty but I got the manufacturer's drawings for the unit (pdf attached)...

Hello I am currently fitting my first kitchen so am relatively new at this. We are doing the surface cuts, however every time we cut the male it is a completely different sharped curve and doesn't fit the female at all? See attached image. We are using: This jig...

Hello I am looking for advise on the best way to project manage the Reno/reconfigure of our kitchen if anyone can advise? We are due to complete shortly on a traditional 1930s three bed semi. Luckily for us the typical dining room / kitchen wall knock through has already been done, but despite...

Hi, painting kitchen and all our bathrooms, had a question re what paint to use? There is obviously dulux easycare kitchen and dulux easycare bathroom. These would work out quite expensive to do two coats. BnQ goodhome have specific paints for each too which work out a tad cheaper. I have...

To all the professional fitters out there- I have purchased a 2300 mm tall larder unit for my kitchen (2150 unit + 150 legs). My ceiling height is 2350. I probably have another 10 mm extra to play with once the laminate flooring comes off. I would also need to fit a cornice of 33 mm. Is this...

I need to replace a plinth and base unit end panel on my B & Q sandford cherry kitchen. However this model is end of line. do you know any where thatsupplies the equivalent of or a similiar colour/pattern regards,

Hi All, At the weekend I attempted a like-for-like swap-out of an old non-functioning kitchen extractor fan for a new Vent-Axia fan. However, the new fan does not work either, meaning that I've either done something wrong or the existing cable is long dead. The new fan says it requires a...

Hi Folks, I had an old, peeling, filthy kitchen ripped out and the sink was the last thing to be dismantled as the plasterers needed water. Now it has gone, the wall behind is black, I am not sure if it is mould or dirt, and the dirt wedged into the corner behind the sink seems damp and gungy...

I am having a new kitchen installed and the walls are looking gouged and uneven as the tiles have been taken off. The builder has suggested the new cabinets can just be hung on top as nobody will see the state of the wall. That may be so, however it doesn't seem right to me. Should the wall be...

Hi guys, going to install my own kitchen in a few months and have a query please. If running laminate flooring to the feet of the units is it common to use a pvc plinth sealing strip to help prevent water ingress in the event of a spillage etc? Is this quite discrete? I've seen some people...

My kitchen isn’t particularly big and I’m forever short of storage space. In the attached photo, I’m looking at 3 unused bits of space A, B and C, on the side of my kitchen that has my sink and my dishwasher. Is there any room to sneak some extra cupboards in? I’m assuming cupboards directly...
