kitchen

We have bought a Samsung FF and the doors a thick. Because of this and the way it hinges the FF either has to sit proud of the units or you need quite a large gap at the sides. I have read (many sites) about requiring a certain amount of space at the sides, back and top for ventilation, however...

I have a kitchen worktop that has sink very close to a corner. As a result, soon after it was fitted it bubbled where the mitre cuts close to the sink. I need to replace the worktop on a bugdet and can't afford solid surface or solid laminate, so...

My kitchen countertops are looking a bit tired and I can’t really afford to replace them at the moment. They are looking rather dull with quite a lot of fine scratches on them. Does anyone have any tips on rejuvenating kitchen countertops with perhaps a polish? Thanks in advance. Does anyone...

Or possibly, does anyone make them at all these days? My wall units are a bit tired but I have limited headroom, the sheds all seem to only have quite tall wall units. Can someone point me at a source for shorter units? Cheers, Dain

1st floor galley kitchen job (3m x 2m): I want to put click vinyl down but don't want the click to raise the finished floor level so I figure on replacing the 18mm chipboard sub with 12mm ply? Any thoughts? Do I need additional floor support perp to joists? At what ctrs? What size additional...

My current Kitchen 2.70m x 3.20m My Lounge 3.70m x 3.70m I would like to move my kitchen out and extend the current lounge into where current kitchen is. The current kitchen is narrower but what's on the other size between kitchen and hallway is one storage cupboard and one cupboard...

I have them on my doorstep, failing that it's Bristol or Newport/Cardiff for other sheds..

We have a kitchen mixer tap that kept dripping so knew that the washer was going. Last night turning this off, it seemed to “snap” and the cold tap wouldn’t turn off as the handle just turns round to infinity with the water just slowing and not stopping! So we managed to get to the cold feed...

Are kitchen units supposed to go in 1st and then the click vinyl gets cut in around it, or does the click go down wall to wall and the units go on top?

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?

I have been an active follower of advice on this site for some time and thought I'd take the jump and sign up. As a newbie, apologies if this question is duplicative, posted in the wrong place or if I've made any other faux pas. I'm currently learning the trade, but not anywhere near qualified...

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...
