GUIDE ... tohome improvement

IF you’re painting a door, the easiestthing to do is take it off its hinges so you

can get to the edges easily (this alsoenables you to paint the inside of the

frame).Every time you paint where an edgemeets the front or back of the door

(depending on which side you’re doing),run a cloth or your fingers along it to

make sure that a ridge of paint doesn’tform where you can’t see.

This will ensure that you get a goodfinish and won’t have problems refitting

the door because of ridges of paint.

TopTip

ELECTRICAL work in thebathroom should rarely beattempted by DIYers – youmay be breaking buildingregulations if you do it

yourself.Play safe and employ a qualified

and reputable electrician, who willbe able to make sure that the work’ssafe and legal.

The easiest option is to use anelectrician who belongs to a‘competent person scheme’, as theycan self-certify that their workcomplies with building regulations.

If they don’t belong to such ascheme, you’ll have to pay yourlocal council’s building controldepartment to check work complies.

If you’re buying electrical fittings(in most cases, lights) for thebathroom, make sure that they’resuitable for the ‘zone’ they’ll be in.

The zones are worked outaccording to their proximity to thetaps, shower and bath, etc, and allgood retailers should say whichzone or zones bathroom lights aresuitable for. Some even have adiagram of the zones on the box,although you can easily find thisonline.

The only electrical socketsallowed in bathrooms are razorones and the only switches should

be ones operated by a cord pull, orspecial ones for, for example, anextractor fan.

Alternatively, you can have anormal light switch on the wall justoutside the door, although this isn’tideal if you want to put the light onwhen you’re naked and already inthe bathroom!

If you don’t have an extractor fan,get an electrician to fit one.Extractors reduce the damagecaused by steam and condensationand help to prevent mould andmildew from forming.

In bathrooms without a window,which is common in flats, anextractor is even more vital andshould be switched on every timeyou take a shower or bath. Manyextractors are wired to come onwhen the light does, although theycan be switched off independently.

If you’re making changes to thewater supply, it’s a good idea tocheck with your water supplier thatyou’re not breaking the bylaws –your plumber should be able toadvise you.

And if you want to find out ifbuilding regulations apply to thework, try www.planningportal.gov.uk or your local building controldepartment.

Renovation rules are muchstricter for listed buildings, andsome work to a bathroom, such asmoving it or fitting an en suite, willrequire listed building consent fromyour local council’s conservationoffice.

Apart from this, you shouldn’tusually need planning permissionto replace or maintain yourbathroom. If in doubt, speak to thecouncil.

Don’t forget that if your home’sleasehold, you may need thefreeholder’s permission for buildingwork, so check the terms of thelease.

If you want to move the bathroomor install a loo with a macerator, forexample, the freeholder may objecton the grounds that it will cause anoise nuisance to other people inthe building, which could put anend to your plans.

As well as practicalities and aesthetics, there arerules and regulations to consider when replacing ormoving your home’s bathroom, says Julia Gray

North/South housepricedividegrowsTHE north-south divide in theproperty market is in evidenceagain after figures showed pricesrose 1.4% in the year to April, withthe largest decreases in Englandbeing in the North West andYorkshire and Humber.

The overall improvement wasdriven by London where priceswere up nearly 5% in the year,and by more modest gains in theSouth East and South West.

This was offset by declines inWales, Scotland and Northern

Ireland of 1.1%, 0.3% and 8.1%respectively, while the largest fallsin England were 1.3% in theNorth West and Yorkshire andHumber, the Office for NationalStatistics (ONS) said in itsmonthly house price index.

On a seasonally adjusted basis,UK house prices were up by 1.1%between March and April,reversing a decline the previousmonth.

Average house prices in Aprilstood at £237,000 in England,

£151,000 in Wales, £129,000 inNorthern Ireland and £178,000 inScotland.

London’s average price of£388,000 contrasts with theNorth East, which has England’slowest average price at £145,000.

The end of a stamp dutyholiday for first-time buyers inMarch meant the proportion ofhomes bought by this section ofthe market fell back to 32% inApril, from 43% the previousmonth.

SAFETY FIRST: Electrics in the bathroom are best left to experts

The idealrecipe

KITCHENS are the ultimatemulti-functional room these days,where the family gather to cook, eat,socialise, and they may even double upas a work space.

That's fine, if you’re lucky enough to have akitchen the size of an aircraft hanger, like theenviable, dream spaces portrayed in glossymagazines.

But as new homes are generally smaller todaythan they were 30 years ago (according to a studyby the Royal Institute of British Architects), manyof us will be dealing with a smaller space thanwe'd ideally like.

"Nowadays properties are getting smaller,which in turn means that consumers aresearching for a smaller kitchen to suit their needsand home," says Jason McNulty, head of productdevelopment at Wren Kitchens.

"But smaller needn't mean less functional orless stylish."

Planning how you use the space is key, so thatnot an inch is wasted and, if possible, has at leastone area – even if only a breakfast bar – whereyou can eat or utilise as an extra work surface.

Also consider carefully what you need toinclude in your kitchen. If possible, moveappliances into other rooms in the house - forexample, a freezer can go in a garage, a washingmachine in a utility room or bathroom, as thishelps free up vital space in the kitchen.

If you're still in a stew, here's what the expertshave to say about tackling the most commonkitchen dilemmas.

SPACE STARVEDEven if your kitchen feels more like a coatcupboard, you can improve the situation bymaking the most of the space you do haveavailable - from the floor to the ceiling.

"Too many wall units can make the kitchen feelcluttered as this is where the eye is drawn first.Choose tall wall units that provide plenty of spacewithout taking up too much room," says MarcoRossi, head of product for Magnet Kitchens.

Shelves, racks and hooks attached to walls orceilings are a perfect way to keep your kitchentidy and work surfaces clutter-free.

Light colours for the walls and units can alsohelp to create the illusion of space in the mostbijou of kitchens.

Interior designer, Abigail Ahern suggestspainting kitchen cabinets the same colour as thewalls.

"If the unit colour matches the walls, it gives anillusion of space," she says.

Shiny or glossy finishes on walls, units andsplashbacks add to this illusion by reflecting lightaround the room.

TOP TIPS: As well as visual tricks, it's worthconsidering smaller than standard appliances.

Many manufacturers produce slimlinedishwashers, ovens and coffee machines designedespecially for smaller kitchens. "A compactmultifunction oven is a great way to make themost of precious space," says Marco Rossi.

"Try a built-in or built-under integrated fridgethat will sit behind a typical unit door."

On the face of it, an L-shaped kitchen may seem like an awkward space todeal with, but in reality it's one of the best layouts for creating a sociable,open atmosphere, says Belinda Corani.

Include a breakfast bar to one side of the kitchen to create a smallarea for entertaining or dining," she suggests.

"If that's impossible, a telescopic pull-out table which can be foldedaway behind a kitchen cabinet drawer front could suffice," says GeraldJones, managing director atMasterclass Kitchens.

TOP TIPS: "Make themost of every inch of spacewith integral storagesolutions, such as pandrawers, curved corner unitsand cantilever carousels,"advises Jude Keenan, kitchenplanner at John Lewis'sOxford Street Londonstore.

She also suggestspositioning tall units at theend of a run, away fromwindows, to avoid blockingout light.

WHAT THE L!


for adreamkitchenA U-shaped layout is one of the mostfunctional kitchen styles. With three wallsto work with, you can position the ovenand hob in the centre of the room and thefridge and sink around it on either side,forming a compact and practical 'workingtriangle'," says Belinda Corani, founder ofwww.houseconscious.com.

Debbie Bowden, a designer at bespokekitchen company Barnes of Ashburton,agrees.

"If you can accommodate a centralisland, scale it down and create a sociableplace for guests to perch," she suggests.

"If the size of your kitchen won't allowa fixed island, a butcher's trolley is astylish alternative, providing additionalstorage and worktop space."

TOP TIPS: Make sure your kitchen stillhas style and character, says AbigailAhern.

"I've seen some incredibly odd-shapedkitchens, but what made them stand outis how the owners accessorise them justlike any other room with lamps oncounters, art on walls, and colourfulheaps of recipe books.

"It's a good trick because, rather thanfocusing on the shape, your eye focuseson the cool accessories."

GALLEY kitchens are notoriously trickywith their long, narrow shape, but with theright planning you can turn this to youradvantage, says Abigail Ahern.

One of the secrets is open shelving onthe walls so you avoid dominating wallunits," she says.

"Concealing the fridge, dishwasher,washing machine behind cabinetry panelswill make the kitchen feel morestreamlined.

"And no matter what the colour on thewalls, paint the ceiling in the same hue -

this will open and expand the space."While a galley kitchen is an extremely

functional space (it's a layout preferred bymany professional chefs) one of itschallenges is making sure it doesn't feeltoo enclosed.

TOP TIPS: Enhancing lighting workswonders in these spaces which often lacknatural light, advises TV interior designerRichard Randall. "Feature lighting, likeup-lit shelving or hanging a mirror on awall to reflect more light, can both workwell."

THESE brilliant border perennialsfit in a wealth of garden settings,their foliage varying from acidgreens to deep burgundy andchocolate.

In summer they produce spikesof tiny, insignificant-lookingflowers in shades of white andpink which are a magnet for bees.

The plants form neat mounds ofcoloured foliage and are ideal forground cover and at the front ofthe border, while more compactvarieties create contrast in mixedcontainers.

Heucheras will thrive in sun orpartial shade and like fertile,moist but well-drained soil. Goodvarieties include H. “ChocolateRuffles”, which makes a goodcontrasting plant partner with theacid-green variety H. “LimeRickey”. Lift and divide largeclumps in early autumn.

Hamilton legacy

FOR the last 15 years, NickHamilton, son of the lateGeoff Hamilton, has beenbusy following in hisfather’s footsteps.

Just wandering around some ofthe 38 small gardens created for TVat Barnsdale in Leicester, you canfeel Geoff Hamilton’s ever-practicalpresence, as areas are teeming witha huge variety of plants along withpractical substitutes for expensiveaccessories (including a circularfinial made from a toilet ballcock –but you’d never know – sitting ontop of a pretty, home-made obelisk).

These are all testament to GeoffHamilton’s money-savingprinciples, his attitude of having ago himself at making somethingbefore shelling out on an expensiveequivalent, ever aware of hisaudience, many of whom wouldhave been cost-conscious.

Nick, who took over the businessafter his father’s death in 1996,shows me the old immersion heatertransformed into a rose waterfeature in the quirky ReclaimedGarden, a typical example of hisfather’s ideas of economy.

“My father wanted Barnsdale tobe representative of what peoplehave at home. Achievability was

all-important. He set the spring-board from which we’ve dived.”

The TV garden all started in the1970s, when Geoff moved into ahouse on the Barnsdale Hall estateand was renting some land at thetop of the hill. He was asked to do aguest appearance on Gardeners’World from what is now known as’The Original Barnsdale’.

In 1979 he joined the teampermanently, but soon found thatthere was little room to experimentand in 1983 he found Barnsdale as itis today, a mile away, a Victorianfarmhouse with more than fiveacres of land.

He created the gardens between

1983-96 but it wasn’t until 1997 thatthey were opened to the public.

“My father always said a gardenis a work in progress, so we carrythat on,” says Nick.

The beautiful Artisan CottageGarden, Allotment, Woodland Walkand Artificial Rock Garden are justa few of the concepts which havebeen developed and continue tooffer ideas to gardeners today.

Nick acknowledges that timeshave changed since his father’s TVheyday.

“Everybody’s lives have changed.Retired people are doing more nowthan they ever did, as are people inwork. But it’s making people realise

that within their busy lives there’sstill time for gardening andvegetable growing.”

In the last decade there has beenmore emphasis on lesstime-consuming gardening, withdemand for easy-maintenanceplants, plants which don’t needstaking and less lawn. But Nick hasreservations about this attitude.

“We have one or two gardens herewhich are lower maintenance thanothers,” he says.

“And yes, you can go out and buya £300 tree which will have aninstant effect. But that’s notgardening.

“Gardening is all about patience

and nurturing, getting out thereand getting your hands dirty.Low-maintenance gardening in away isn’t gardening.”

He believes that were his fatheralive today, he would be over themoon at the way Barnsdale hasdeveloped. But he doesn’t believethe TV cameras could ever returnon a regular basis.

“Our tagline is ’The People’sGarden’ and that’s what it is – agarden for the people. I wouldn’tnow want to stop people seeing thegarden, even for one day a week.”

He says that BBC Gardeners’World today is far removed from hisfather’s programmes.

SLUGS and snails may have been rampagingthrough your vegetable patch and the bestway to get rid of them, especially if you’reorganic, is to go through your rows pickingthem off by hand and disposing of them.

Early summer can see infestations ofcarrot fly, while wireworm will makecavities in root veg and potato tubers andcabbage white larvae play havoc with yourbrassicas.

Carrot fly will be active now, so put awindbreak-style barrier up around yourcrops to deter these low-flying pests andthin out the plants, whose scented leavesprovide the attraction, on a still eveningbefore watering the remaining plants.

There’s still just time to do some

companion planting. Plant nasturtium withcabbages as they attract caterpillars whichwill hopefully then leave the cabbages alone.Cabbage white caterpillars will be hatchingnow and you can prevent some damage byinspecting the undersides of the leaves onall brassicas. If you come across smallclusters of yellow eggs, squash them.

Remove any plant parts covered inblackfly. Infected potato foliage will appearwithered and yellow compared to a healthyplant, so dig it out and remove itcompletely from the garden.

If you suspect you have wireworm, liftyour susceptible crops early to minimisedamage and keep your ground wellcultivated in spring and summer.

WITH property prices in Greecetaking a tumble, investors lookingfor a bargain place in the sun couldget more for their money indestinations such as Crete, whereprices have fallen significantly.

Western Crete is one area that’swell worth considering by UKinvestors.

Although quieter than resortssuch as Agios Nikolias andHersonisos on the east of the Greekisland, western Crete is well servedby flights from the UK and offers asavvy choice for shrewd investors.

According to Snobby Homes, aleading developer in the area, twoto three years ago a typical twobedroom detached house wasaround 180,000 euros, while a threebedroom was around 210,000 euros.However typical prices are nowaround 135,000 euros for a twobedroom house, and 160,000 eurosfor a three bedroom house, plusaround 20,000 euros for taxes,

purchase costs, legal and estateagent’s fees.

Snobby Homes’ marketingdirector Mike Saunders believesthe fall in prices in western Creteis due to uncertainty surroundingthe Greek economy and a declinein interest from UK buyers. Hesays: “Interest from UK buyers hasfallen over the last three years,mainly due to the stagnant UKproperty market.

“Buyers can no longer borrowand are often now reliant uponselling their UK home to fund anew house in Crete.

“As the Crete property markethas slowed, it has become morecompetitive and prices havedropped.”

Snobby Homes has new-builddetached homes available from122,950 euros.

“Our prices are all-inclusive ofpurchase costs, and the standardspecification includes a whole host

of luxuries within the all-inclusiveprice,” said Mike.

Snobby properties are eco-builtusing thermal insulated brick, withdouble glazing, solar water heatingand a wood burner.

Luxurious features include airconditioning, a comprehensiveseven-piece white goods package, aseparate storage room, beds andfitted wardrobes.

Prices at Snobby Homes’ OldVillage Way development start at149,950 euros for a two bedroombungalow, through to 175,950 eurosfor a three bedroom villa withen-suite facilities. A boutiquedevelopment of just threeproperties, Old Village Way is setamong orange groves just fiveminutes’ drive away from the beachand small coastal resort ofTavronitis.
