Renovating a kitchen
We are about to start work on renovating our kitchen. I have mapped out the following steps but would be grateful for your thoughts as to where a) and b) should fit in and whether I have missed anything important . 1. Plan layout (use Ikea online 2D/3D planner) including new and relocated services 2. Remove plaster/block internal wall to create more space 3. Remove existing appliances 4. Remove existing fitted units and wall tiles 5. Chase walls for new and relocated wiring and boxes 6. Run new wiring to boxes (electrician) 7. Relocate h&c 15mm supplies to sink unit and cold only to washing machine and dishwasher 8. Relocate drain pipework to sink unit, washing machine and dishwasher 9. Make good walls and ceiling (plasterer if necessary) 10. Fit new wall units 11. Fit new base units (start in corner) 12. Fit new worktops (kitchen fitter/joiner?) 13. Fit sink unit/tap and plumb in 14. Fit washing machine and dishwasher and plumb in 15. Fit hob and oven and connect 16. Fit plinths and plinth heater a) Fix and grout wall tiles - bottom edge of tiles to sit behind or on top of worktops? b) Fix and grout floor tiles - whole floor or to just under plinths? -- Robert |
