Extend Or Not To Extend? That Is The Question.
“We stole space from our garage” stated Anna Chapman when telling Ideal Home Magazine how they managed to get a big family kitchen using what they had instead of extending”
When it comes to reworking space one of the most important decisions to start with is whether to extend or not to extend, and that’s exactly the question Anna and Glyne Chapman faced when they decided they needed a bigger kitchen with better storage, more food prep areas and a place for her daughters to sit and draw while the couple cooked.
They started by speaking to a builder a neighbour had recommended, and he suggested to knock the kitchen and utility room together instead of extending and taking space from the garage, which they would never have thought of.
They found it hard to visualize the new space, so, they employed an architect , who charged £450 to design the layout changes. Afterwards they have approached a local kitchen company to design the layout of the units, which charged £2050 for planning and installation, while the builder did all the building work, electrics, plumbing, underfloor heating and decorating for £9500.
Warmup products were choosen to install the underfloor heating system in this exciting project the Chapmans’ had gone through with satisfying results. To read the complete story click here.
