Design Features George Clarke's 5 Fave Home Buys

1. Hi George. Whilst you're in the Sth of France looking at Heather's house (comments below) pop in to Limoges in central France and look at our turn of the century townhouse (former bar/hotel). It would make a fantastic project for the show. Can send photos if you're interested. (There's a bottle of red wine waiting for you with your name on it!)

2. We currently live in a 4 bed house that is completely run down and far too small for our four children and us. It has plenty of space but badly arranged plus a DIY extension by the previous owners that does not work. We are looking to extend by selling another property we have to finance it - even in this climate we know- and wondered whether you would be doing another of your channel four programmes helping owners realise the potential of there homes. If so could we be considered pleeeeeeease!! thanks for reading

3. Hi George think the show is great and even watch over here in South of France we have modernish home which all of the ground floor (approx 110 sq.metres) is in need of renovating so if you fancy doing a show over here drop me a line.

7. George Great programme always enjoy each episode. When is it back on our screens? Can you please advise where the grey box used for storage in the Putney home, main bathroom, under the wash basin was purchased from? Kind regards, Helen Helen Freeman

8. To Su. I assume your conservatory is secure and the kitchen sliding doors are the link to it? Why not just remove the patio doors and frame? this would completely open the two spaces. There is no reason to add bi-folding doors. Luke

9. Your website is infuriating. It has great content but I haven't come across pages that load this slowly since 1995!!! There seems to be a real problem with graphics then text then adverts loading and I have had this problem with IE. Safari and Firefox. Could you sort it out please because I am now not going to view any more pages (nor click on banners or look at the advertisers) 4car can get it sorted why cant 4 homes?

13. Brilliant programme! Can anyone advise? We have traditional sliding patio doors(two doors, one fixed)at the moment which lead from a kitchen to a conservatory. We would really like to open up the space so that we can have one large opening.We have been advised that bi-fold doors would not really be suitable because the opening isn't really large enough as they take up too much space when pushed back. What I think would be ideal would be to have a sliding door system that would push back onto the back wall in the conservatory, therefore leaving the door opening completely free and doors safely out of the way. Needs to be an external door system with appropriate security. I am sure that there must be someone that manufactures these, but have no idea where to look. (Tried google to no avail!). Could anyone provide a name of a company that might produce this system. Many thanks Susan

14. Hi there we have an old 4 bed cottage, 2 of the beds are in the loft and although it has a staircase it is a bit tricky. There is a large inglenook fireplace which runs up through the house and i was wondering if it would be possible to make it more accessable by taking back some of the huge chimney? I would be grateful for your thoughts, Regards Ellie

15. George, In last nights programme (31 July) you did a conversion for a family with a disabled daughter, (she was unable to swallow I think) I believe that a percentage of the VAT could be reclaimed for the portion of the redevelopment that specifically improved the child's quality of life. A properly qualified accountant could advise on how to estimate this Even the VAT office would be likely provide a pamphlet.

18. Hi George. Congratulations for your programme, it's very attractive and inspiring. I'm a Brazilian guy who recently split up from a 12 years relationship and now live in a 1950's outdated flat in Stafford (Staffs). It's a big place but needs a serious touch of modernisation. I don't have the time and to be honest with you I'm not one the most talented DIY guy around. I'm wondering here whether you to could come at some point to check my flat out and see whether is worth to provide my flat with your magic touch. I would appreciate if you could respond to my querie and at the same time wishing you the very best and further success in your nobel career. Regards Edson da Silva

20. Does George reply to requests? I would like advice on re-designing the layout and exterior appearance of a 70's detached propety, to make a more contemporary space. I love the use of glass folding doors and extensions. I would be happy to pay for design advice and information suppliers of folding glass doors. many thanks.
