I bought a 20 room Regency mansion on the Yorkshire coast which was literally falling down. My 6 month renovation took over 2 years! EBay was a godsend for me. I could go on for hours about the bargains I bought and collected from all corners of the country but the best one was a hand built kitchen by Mark Wilkinson which originally cost over £80k picked up for £3k from Regents Park. The fridge alone costs £14k and we simply dismantled it and made the room fit the units rather than the other way round as you would usually do. The bonus really was nothing in the kitchen had ever been used so we saved about £75k and it looks amazing. I love what you have done here. It’s a top class job and I can see how much you enjoyed it. Well done.
Chris, you are incredible! Watching these videos for style and work ethic inspiration. In the early stages of renovating my flat and this series of videos has really expanded what I think I can do.
WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!!! What a stunning home and an incredible transformation!! Being married to a builder, I love watching renovations and your dedication to this was second to none. You both should be so proud of what you have both achieved.
Kitchen looks amazing, I’m so inspired, I have a very similar house . Incredible to see what can be done with the layout . Can’t wait to see what you’ve done upstairs 😊
You asked about coffee machine.. The Gaggia Classic Pro is the best espresso machine you can buy under £500, however, the Lelit Bianca would look insane in this kitchen 😍 You will also need a Niche Zero coffee grinder. The perfect duo. Congrats on the project! The kitchen is absolutely incredible 👏🏼
You must be so proud doing so much of it yourself, seeing how beautifully it turned out! I like a lot of these ideas, though I'd make changes: a) a stove tap for filling pots, b) cutlery drawer should *not* be in the larder, too much faff to grab a fork - should be easy to access and on your way to the table and c) needs a full splashback, that plaster/bare wall is going to get manky. I'm designing for my terraced house kitchen extension so seeing these types of videos is so helpful - I know what I want & don't want! Wish I could do half as much as you (I'm a 5"3 weak woman).
Great job! Followed you since the beginning of the project... amazing job...really inspiring. Looking forward to seeing more and hearing about your next project 😊
I love your videos - your hilarious - I like how you’re just being yourself and full of energy ….. I’m doing exactly what you are and exactly how you’re saving and getting the best of everything for the best price too! Mines taken three years and still going strong …. It takes alot of time , trial n error , mistakes …ups and downs (buckets of tears ! 😅)but the reward is deffo worth it . I can’t believe how on point u are with everything you’re saying! It’s like me talking . Anyway … where did u get that lovely large hood vent /extactor fan from ? I need the price and specs please !
Really interesting video, really makes me want to get a house in london and do some DIY to it, maybe get a slightly run down, old house and rennovate slightly, I am not a builder so I can not do a lot of them stuff but internals I think I can do, exterior might be outside of my capability other than the garden as I did that myself already
I'll admit, I'm jealous of how much less kitchen renovations cost over there in the UK, than they do here in the US. Here in the US, you pretty much gotta spend a small fortune if you want your kitchen renovated. Like those accordion doors, the least expensive ones here are like six grand.
The more concrete you use the higher the carbon impact as it quite high carbon cost. I wouldn't say that was a large garden for london. That high fencing is not great for gardens. It's not jealously. The more light the better for gardens. This trend for 6ft fences is not good.
Wow. Looks like you have thought of everything. Would be interested to know where you purchased your flooring and what it's called. I think you may need a shelf or two in the vacuum cupboard for dusters etc!
Man hole inside the house? Could you not have had that re-routed outside? I have never seen this in the UK. What happens if that over flows into the house with waste water does your house insurance cover the contamination?
Since when do building regs allow a manhole inside in the UK?? I'll tell you never. You have to reroute it to outside.. yes the place looks amazing not taking that away from you.
This question may come across silly, however where is your washing machine and dryer?? I don't think you showed it to us (viewers). Otherwise it's a fantastic kitchen, well done.

You are fkg good and your ideas are wonderful and make sense . I thought I was good but your work is 5 stars 👍.

Man hole inside the house? Could you not have had that re-routed outside? I have never seen this in the UK. What happens if that over flows into the house with waste water does your house insurance cover the contamination?
Wow, amazing job!
Thank you mate!
Since when do building regs allow a manhole inside in the UK?? I'll tell you never. You have to reroute it to outside.. yes the place looks amazing not taking that away from you.
