Hi Brenda….contact a lovely guy called Dave Cummings at CSGS Glass. CSGS Limited, Studio 3, The Old Stableyard, Wood Street, Swanley Village, Kent BR8 7PA, 01322 662006. He did the glass roof at Worcester Park and I’m sure he would be happy to reglaze your extension for you. He’s one of the best in the business. George x

Hi – firstly what a briliant show. It is a must see and your ideas are absolutely fabulous!
Secondly I wonder if you could steer me in the general direction of help with a glass problem:
I have a glassed extension to my kitchen, south facing, hand made in mahogany 20 years ago (at the same time as the house). It has a a pitched glassed roof (in between wooden struts) and 2 very large sliding doors to east and west.. As you can imagine, it is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter and to avoid this I currently draw floor to ceiling curtains across the area, thus blocking off about a third of my kitchen.
I want to reglaze, but I am very confused about the options out there. I want it to be future proof (as much as poss) and have tried some of the websites quoted on the Home show website, especially to do with Worcester Park but they either seem to no longer be available or make me more confused. Can you help me please? I would be so grateful
Regards

Hi Amanda…now that sounds like an impressive bathroom! Unfortunately, Bathstore are at the more ‘affordable’ end of the market and I don’t use them. The fittings aren’t good enough when you are spending so much more money in other areas to create a top spec bathroom. Its always tricky when you are juggling your budget and trying to keep in control of the costs but never compromise on cheap sanitary fittings. I always spec mid to high ranges as you need them to stand the test of time. Don’t make the same mistake on your en-suite! Good luck and thanks for watching the show. George x

HiYa George
Our house is modern 4bd det and was built in 2000, we live in Dunstable area.
We used huge sheets of light green glass around our bath instead of using tiles, it cost around 2k and had a company fit it, we had to knock the ceiling out above the stairs to get the glass up there, (My idea) because there was no way it was going back and it looks wicked. Only thing I wished I didn’t use the Bathstore for the sink, toilet etc, not as good quality as you think.
Moving on to the en-suite next so will probably follow a similar design but would love a wet room don’t know how practical it would be….Just need to paint downstairs first!
Keep up the good work, we love your show…Amanda x
