So you've decided to redesign your kitchen. Before you start planning your shiny new units and tiles there are a lot of design, electrical and gas implications to bear in mind too. You may need to upgrade your consumer unit and earth bonding due to a change of electrical positioning. If you move the position of the sink, dishwasher or washing machine there may also be additional complications with the waste water pipe, and this would apply to the gas position too. The best way to get a confirmed cost would be to talk to your chosen supplier and ask them to create a design that accommodates all of your ideas. Any questions will be confirmed by the position of the units.

A good builder will be able to give you sound advice regarding how a conservatory will affect your home, garden and neighbours. Although it's a complex build, planning permission isn't always needed. If you have a set of fixed doors in the original opening then you can actually build up to 35 square meters without requiring planning permission. Each project is individual though so do have a look at the Council portal for more information. We're happy to help with any queries that you may have.

If you are thinking of building an extension, make sure you save time, money and hassle by choosing a reputable professional. Firstly, find an architect – speak to two or three to make sure that they fully understand you, your property and your ideas. Once you're happy and have agreed the design, apply for planning permission. When you receive full permission contact a few potential suppliers and invite them to quote. Remember, just because it's cheap doesn't mean that you'll receive the quality workmanship that you require. Make sure you send the same information to everyone to make sure that you fairly gauge how much the job is actually going to cost. For peace of mind, ask for personal recommendations to make sure that you've chosen the right builder to create your perfect extension.
