Most of London’s properties has a small kitchens space and some cases tiny space and in a small kitchen every space available matters
Planning your kitchen will include many main areas from space for food preparation and cooking to washing up and storage so it essential to plan the room thoroughly.
The basic design rules for kitchens, however large or small depends on shape of the room, most common basic shapes for a kitchen plan are I, U and L shapes.
I shaped kitchen, in this type of kitchen, all appliances and storage are down one side of the room, making a neat, tidy and efficient line of kitchen cabinets
L shaped kitchen fits best where the kitchen can be installed into one corner.The L shaped kitchen can be either fitted neatly around the corner or if the space permits, one arm can be build into the room to act as a serving table or eating bar.
U shaped can be fitted in square kitchens and is often best in a confined space because the appliances can be installed around the cook, who stands in the centre and has everything within reach.
The most important decision when it comes to fitting a new kitchen, repairing old kitchen or renovating your kitchen is off course the kitchen fitter, hiring professional kitchen fitter in London is a wise investment

If you are like me that think some plumbers charges unbelievable amount of money for small jobs, you may need some advice on simple DIY tasks
Find your main water supply and it off, let tap to drain the water
Remove the top plate of the tap handle by sliding a flat head screwdriver into the edges of the top plate and gently tap the screwdriver with a hammer until the top plate is loosened
Unscrew the main screw inside the tap handle and remove it to expose the hexagonal nut.
You will then be able to remove the old tap washer and replace it with a new washer
Some plumbing jobs can be done with a little DIY skills but if you need more complex work done you better call a professional plumbers in London near you

No one is an expert at everything, and if you were, you probably wouldn’t be reading this. You wouldn’t diagnose a family member’s ailment and prescribe a remedy, and it’s the same with some plumbing situations. If it were easy then everyone would do it and the “P” section in the phone book would be much thinner.
Gas Lines
Work on gas lines is one of the biggest jobs that should be left to licensed plumbers. A lot of cities require a licensed person to work on gas lines by code. This is due mostly to the danger inherent in working with gas. Small leaks may not be detected by odor alone. A licensed plumber should always have the proper pressure-testing equipment to ensure that there are no leaks in the line.
Another concern with gas lines is the threading of the pipe and fitting of joints. The equipment to do this is expensive to own (and impractical for the average home owner). Improperly threaded pipe could leave connections with leaks small enough to be over looked by the average home owner. The same holds true for tightening on fittings. Believe it or not, over-tightening a fitting can cause as much trouble and an under-tightened fitting. Again, any plumber worth his weight will always pressure test the lines before leaving the job.
Mainlines (Water and Sewer)
Work with any of your mainlines (water and sewer) is also best left to the pros. Just the process of turning the water off at the street ( “curb box” in plumbing lingo) -requires special equipment. A long rod with a special tip, called a street key, is used to shut off service to the line.
As for the main sewer lines, snaking can be done by a confident home owner. For around $50 you can rent a sewer snake for four hours, which should be enough time to clean tree roots from the line, but it doesn’t guarantee that everything will be fine in the line. If the line continues to back up calling a plumber is the only choice, as it means that there is something else wrong with the line. It could be broken or back pitched and a licensed plumber should be able to detect the problem and suggest a solution.
Generally Speaking
As with anything, whenever you feel uncomfortable using equipment or unsure of the proper way to complete the project a professional should be called. They can usually quickly assess the situation and resolve it. They will also notice any foreseeable problems and suggest resolutions.
