Corona and building industry

4 years ago

Hi- We are 1 month into a 4 month renovation of our house while we stay somewhere else.

The concern I have is...if builders merchants are closed down due to corona and our builder cannot get hold of supplies, even if they are allowed to continue working. Obviousely our house reno will come to a grinding halt for several months? Maybe Travis Perkins etc will still be allowed to deliver but no counter service? Anyone got any inside information as to what may happen. Thanks

I don’t think any of us know what is going to happen. At the present time all builders merchants are open in our area, but that could be subject to change any time. If one merchant closes perhaps another will be open.

Hi Franke, I think you are probably in the same situation as many many others. We are and all of our suppliers are open and are all continuing business as usual. We are taking continuing advise from the government over health and safety and are doing everything possible to keep ourselves and clients safe.

The government may decide that things may change, so as Daisy said we really don't know. I think if everybody takes heed to the governments directions we might be able to avoid lockdown.

We will remain open for as long as possible

Kind regards

Mark

Thanks Brenda I like the blend of both styles also. Unfortunately the building is not giving us much to play with, it's a big old concrete carbunkle but the space is great! I hope I can get the balance right.

Tiling for tiny bathroom
Q
Comments (30)
Hi! What was your final decision? I am also working on my tiny WC and came to the following conclusions (after 2 months spent in tile shops, looking through houzz and pinterest photos). The tiles in small spaces: 1. Should reflect. The space should not be matt and absorb the light. The glazed tile reflects the objects like a mirror and creates depth. 2. Should not be oversized. When you like the big tiles on the photo you posted - just adore them at the picture. they will not go to a tine space. Compare the size of the bathroom and the size of the tile. Try to imagine the pattern. 3. Don't be mislead by professional designs and photos (like the ones you posted and you like). Most of them are the bathrooms which are really huge in size. So the tiles that are on the picture will not go for your project. You want a small SPA oasis? Forget about concrete and metal look and all the things like that. I took a sample of concrete tile in my bath... really you feel uncomfortable, when you step on the concrete barefoot, Though I have floor heating , I wouldn't go barefoot. Its concrete!:))) Concrete is good for a big loft or industrial design, I think. 5. For a SPA - look I would opt either for the mosaic (which is classical for SPA, but be careful with that. May be monochromatic or achromatic) or wood optic tiles combined with warm white tones. 6. Much color in small bathrooms is not a good option. It is better to add it with accessories. Moreover you can change the look just by replacing your turqoise towels by grey ones. You can add dynamics only by choosing not a typical size of the white tile and making an interesting pattern. For example, for my tiny WC i have 25x75 cm tiles and will put them in a brick wall style. What I have chosen for my tiny WC is a wood optic (very light) tile for the floor and white tiles for the walls. They will cover the wall by 120 cm. The rest of the wall will be covered with wallpaper (navy blue or dark gray). Or may be just painted. Wish you good luck!

I love the cabin in the woods, its a intimate setting where you are drawn to the outside whilst keeping snug indoors. The use of fabrics sets it apart from the usual cold designs of other modern rooms. The attention detail in the selection of furniture pieces keeps it modern yet functional.

I’ve had emails from various retailers, granted not building suppliers, who are temporarily closing their stores but still are open online. It is a lifeline for them too.
