Kitchen project in Southville

Kitchen project in Southville

Kitchen Project in Southville

This kitchen project was undertaken in 2019, in South Bristol. The house is a traditional Victorian terrace with a small garden to the rear. As with many such houses, the kitchen was at the rear of the house, separated from the dining area by a large chimney breast.

 The chimney breast was completely removed and a supporting RSJ installed. This created a large room with space for a galley kitchen and a spacious dining area. The old dresser was retained and painted to match the kitchen cabinets.

Double doors were installed at the end of the kitchen, opening out into the south-facing garden.

In order to maximise the light, and give some climate-control, a large electric smart Velux window was installed in the roof above the kitchen. 

The boiler was moved, and installed into a large cabinet in the corner of the kitchen.

Plumbing, electrical work & kitchen fitting were carried out by the Practical Women team.

Central Heating work by Greentech Heating & Plumbing.

Kitchen cabinets were supplied by Nailsea Electrical in Bristol.

Structural work was carried out by Stepping Stones Building.

Thinking of a New Kitchen?

If you’ve been thinking about having a new Kitchen, and don’t really know where to start, here are some helpful tips to get you started

Lean-to Conservatory

Lean-to Conservatory

This Lean-to Conservatory, in a village to the south of Bristol, was built to replace an old existing Conservatory, which had seen better days. We stripped off all the old glass and saved as much of it as possible.

We then re-built the Conservatory to the same dimensions, using hardwood struts to support the glass roof.

As the area around the Conservatory is a popular location for ball-sports, we glazed the side windows with perspex, rather than glass.

Garden Decking

Garden Decking

At Practical Women, we love the opportunity to work outdoors, particularly on decking projects.

This customer’s space was very difficult for them to use, with uneven concrete and different levels. We installed a large area of decking to provide easy access to the garden and garage from the house.

 This was the garden area before we started:
