An interior designer is locked in a furious row with her neighbours over a basement extension that allegedly caused her floor to sink and ruined her £100,000 kitchen. He and his partner Laura Vidal-Oregui Subramanian, 55, started works under their £10million home in Kensington, west London, in 2014. But the basement excavation has made their kitchen floor 'sink' and 'become tilted', they claim. However, the Subramanians' surveyor withdrew before the award process could be completed and the new surveyor who replaced him took a very different view of the situation. He claimed that the slope in the designer and her husband's kitchen floor had nothing to do with the basement extension next door and, in his view, 'it predated that work altogether'.
