How do I bathroom / kitchen / extension? etc.

really? loads of access space and nice neat pipework - seems pretty dreamy to me

A splashdown?

I really like the wood around the window, I should have had this idea or style done too when I was plastering all our walls (and the window bench looks much nice like that).

FWIW I have no splash back and just 4 or so inches of upstand, 4 years in and it still doesn't need a repaint, maybe I just don't use the back hobs much?

Not sure living on deliveroos of cheese and poke requires the use of any hobs at all.

No splashback here either, but 10cm upstand, and latex wall paint.
The paint needs a wipe down now and then but no problem.
Mind you I am an architect so aesthetics > functionality

Dissuade me.

No you're right:

#1. Deliveroo has you covered you don't need to cook
#2.a. it only matters if you fry things. Frying things is bad so you shouldn't do it
#2.b. if you must fry only fry on the front two hobs
#3. you don't need a hob. Everyone uses airfryers with a rice cooker nowadays
#4. it's not your problem it's your cleaners

#2 only actually really matters if you fry on the rear hobs and if you only have a small 4 ring stove.

1, 3 and 4 hold true, though you need to specific with your cleaner how best to clean the wall

I HAVENT HAD A POKE ALL WEEK THANK YOU.

That's not my fault.

Updated.

In for a penny. We have a decent sized upstand (same material as worktop - Quartz) that doesn't go all the way to the extractor. That obviously wipes clean, and the only reason we need a lick of paint there is because we haven't gone over the base white yet.

So in answer to the original question - re the upstand that isn't extractor height - you need to be doing some Why Don't You style cooking to get stains that high on the wall.

Er another guilty of form over function kinda - we have 100mm plain white tiles - I cook like a hooligan fry the shit out of things and pay no heed to what goes where. I just clean it each time it gets splattered.

What’s the brasswear brand @chrisbmx116 is all about? Feel like it’s a play on words or something

Arte form isn’t it

Thanks everyone

Used to be about before child + poverty, now I’m Victoria plumb all the way.

@dbr Vema is now forum approved for the budget conscious among us.

Crosswater?

Does anyone make nice 3 way (filtered/hard water line) taps? Crosswater winning so far.

I've posted on checkatrade, but would be curious if anyone else has had rads installed and what the rough cost is to give me a benchmark.

Also other than TVR valves are there any other random expenses that I don't know about?

Cheers.

Actual job:

1. Dinning Room (ground floor)
   a. Remove existing radiator
   b. Move pipework 0.5m to other wall
   c. install new radiator

2. install new radiator where there wasn't one

Think I paid about 200 for moving a rad along a wall a bit a few years ago - seems a lot but took a couple of hours - They had to drain the system and refill etc copper is also not cheap. I have a guy who might do it if you need.

Cheers. That would be good. I'll probably wait for a few of the checkatrade replies to come in as they are all very close by

I’d think that would be about 300+vat
Will be half a day plus some sundries.
