Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Investigate rear moisture issues in relation to the threshold and external level.
Decide this before construction
Fix levels and drainage before ordering flooring and the door. Plan a temporary rear exit if the existing kitchen remains in use.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep drainage points and thresholds accessible for inspection. Record which components need cleaning under the selected product and detail instructions.
How to review the result
Carry shopping through the passage and test the door with the planned storage. Check the finished transition and ask how the agreed drainage works.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on damaged sections, detailing, access and finishes. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion

Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging timber decay & frame repairs?
