Mrs Roberts came to us because her previous kitchen space was under utilised and it was looking a little tired. Her kitchen was fitted in the original kitchen layout that the Park Home was built with. Often the layouts become dated and do not really offer spacious cooking, preparation or dining areas. The original kitchen was divided into a utility room and kitchen. This layout meant that the kitchen space was impeded, and that less light could enter the room due to the divide.
Mrs Roberts wanted us to remove the dividing wall between the utility room and kitchen to create a light, open planned area with all washing/drying facilities integrated into one room rather than needlessly separated. She also wanted a new, more practical, and future proof kitchen, suited to her needs.
When moving internal walls, light switches and power points often need to be relocated. This was the case here. Therefore, our qualified electrician had to reroute the wiring to alternative walls and adjust the lighting controls to reflect the open planned layout.
To achieve the modern and clean look that Mrs Robert’s was looking for we fitted 6 brushed chrome spot lights, giving the kitchen a sleeker look. As Park Home ceilings are often low, we find spot-lights are a great way of lighting rooms and giving a more spacious feel.
To maintain best practices we advised Mrs Roberts a DMEV mechanical extractor fan would be a great way of controlling moisture in the kitchen, and she agreed, so our qualified electrician also fitted one of these.
For occasions like Christmas and Easter Mrs Roberts wanted the option to be able to cater for lots of guests. Therefore we fitted a 5 ring Gas Hob (as opposed to the standard 4 ring), which just gives slightly more cooking options when it comes to having lots of guests.
