Kitchen Refurbishment Project Week Three

While the weather this week has been unfriendly for outside work, with driving rain, high winds and extremely cold conditions, the building contractors, Steven and Mark, have been brilliant and continued to drive the project forward, installing Velux roof windows, covering the roof in reclaimed natural slate, sealing the roof and wall joint with lead flashing and adding fascia boards.

On Monday, DART Electrics, the electrical contractors were on site completing the first fix electrics. They installed cabling for a power circuit, a lighting circuit, and supply for cooker, dishwasher and wall mounted boiler.

By the end of the week work had started on adding insulation to the north-facing wall. This is a single skinned block wall and an internal timber framed wall will be constructed supporting the insulation and providing an air gap between the two skins. Damp-proof membrane is also fitted for added protection against any rising damp or damp penetration.
