I'm wondering whether to go for the flush fitting (with a French drain) or just opt for standard - which with a cill would be no more than 5cm above the brickwork. The net difference in price is just under a grand. Standard is weather rated, flush is not (but then there is the trip hazard!)


If you have flush doors, did you have any problems with the rain last year?? I'm worried because we want to have wood floors and I don't want them to get ruined. There's no shelter over the door.


On a separate note - are integrated blinds any good? We've got an exposed west facing garden and I imagine we'll need to be able to shade... Especially in weather like this!


Any advice much appreciated. Thanks!

We have flush doors and we didn't have rain coming in - we have wood floors . We also have integrated blinds and I wouldn't be without them, especially as we are south facing so would be impossible in this heat! It's nice to shut them and know noone looking in on you - we have a lane behind our garden so this was pretty crucial to me.

Thanks. That's good to know! Where did you get your doors from and did they do the fitting? The door is going to be completely exposed though as there's not really any roof above and no trees close by.


I think we'll definitely need something to shut out the light - just that the integrated blinds look a bit odd to me!

    • The Oxfam shop refusal may be because they have very limited storage space at the back of their very small shop?
    • I agree. The staff are always lovely!  
    • Hi, does anyone know anything about the generator that seems to run from 7am every day in the car park of Dominic Court off The Gardens? I live in a property that backs on to that car park and it’s incredibly noisy and fumey. It’s been there for a long time now and it looks like it’s powering a site office for construction workers. Does anyone have any information about how long it will be there for, and who is operating it? I worry about the quality of the air as it’s like having a truck running constantly. And it’s very annoying to have it rumbling all day.    
    • Most charity shops will take rags for textile recycling. I’ve also donated to Christopher’s, Shelter on LL and Scope in Camberwell. The only one I’ve known to refuse is the Oxfam in Herne Hill.
