The kitchens in Well Hall are not all one kind, and which kind you have changes the vanity tops long before the stone is ordered. The Progress Estate houses have small, oddly shaped kitchens with sloping ceilings, deep window reveals and non-standard room widths, so units get cut in and the worktop ends up as several short scribed pieces rather than one long run. The point of the visit is that you stop guessing and get a number you can hold us to.
Suspended floors at the front meet a solid slab in the extension somewhere in the middle, and the units sit across the change. The stone is the straightforward half of a bathroom. The order the trades come in is what actually decides when we can be there. Cut for the basin you bought, not for a standard one.
An inter-war terrace is wider than a Victorian one and shallower than a semi, so the kitchen is a compact square room rather than a galley. The original bathroom here is the small room over the hall, and a vanity in it is short, shallow and hard against two walls, so both ends are scribed. A pod bathroom inside a shell has walls built last week.
What we find behind the front doors here is 1915 Progress Estate Arts and Crafts housing, 1930s semi and interwar terrace. They are not interchangeable, and a worktop finds the differences quickly.
