I have a large kitchen/dining room with 10'
high ceilings.
I am planning on a complete overhaul: kitchen thrown out/walls skimmed/painted/new flooring(currently wooden flooring)/new lighting and new kitchen units/appliances.
Any advice on the order I should get the work done?
Is there anywhere that would do the whole lot for me?
I'm in Edinburgh
While your are at it, pull down the ceiling, line with a plastic membrane then fit 50mm thick polystyrene under, finish with plasterboard and a skim coat.
This will result in a much warmer room.
I have always wanted to know this. Would using the polystyrene in the ceiling be classed as a fire risk and not allowed in building regs?
I am a complete idiot so don't take my questioning personally :-)
