How do I bathroom / kitchen / extension? etc.

Thanks that's a relief

What is a good option for pitched roof skylights that are double glazed and unusual sizes?

They don't need to open, one option is to get a joiner to make them and a roofer to fit. But there's no reason not to go with something aluminium. What brands do people recommend?

Both of the above are good and offer bespoke sizing or standard which is more economical. Get them to supply and install to maximise warranty (2 vs 10years from memory).

Got my own plumber in to do bulk of finishing off. Week 5 ends today and no toilet still so least that'll be done. Not ideal shower tray fitting, he sees thid fairly often

Got my plans back for my loft work and I’m now reminded why some people are cheap and some expensive.

Told the builder I was 6ft5 and to be conservative

Just get a stool, what you moaning about. /S

Does the (barely) horizontal section screw in? Is it chromed copper? Two 45 bends to get it higher?
Nevermind, just read that they are usually brass.

You have got your socks on to be fair…

Ah the every day struggle of a tall person - I feel your pain!

You could probably trim an inch or two off that downpipe & get it re-threaded for the shower head to go back on without too much difficulty.

Your posts are making me want to watch my builders every day to make sure they don't do anything similar!

This shit is why I WFH with builders. Not to watch them but to be able to ask that quick question rather than wonder and pick something at random.

Height does look pretty conservative though....

Hmmm I’m sure there used to be a floor here somewhere…

extremely cool, going to be rad

Do we just sack off putting the floor back and have a double height kitchen?!

Shit! Is there not a standard height at which you put the controls vs the tray to avoid this? Having our bathroom done at the moment with a similar type shower and I think I told the builder to install controls at 120cm from the tray. We're only 174cm max in the household but have tall friends

• Juliet balcony in that doorway ....
  

Do it!

Yes.

The look my wife just gave me at the suggestion says ‘No’

You could put an open mezzanine? Perfect place for a study.

Yes do this!!!
What was the space before? Kitchen storage?

Can't be much higher or the water would evaporate before reaching a normal sized person.

Guys it’s the upstairs bathroom - unfortunately unlikely to be able to do without

Mezzanine bathroom over the kitchen. Someone has to do it first.

Surely a glass floor is the perfect compromise

Genuine lol at the horror of that thought.
