There's steel U shaped girders in where patio doors now and opening into conservatory other side which will need filling in. Bit of a slope one side so obviously foundations will need to be deeper that side. When builder looked at it he said that was no problem. No drains or trees nearby...

wessex101 I did ask why and he said he needs to be told what footings depth, the steel rafters etc plus list of all materials required. He gave me phone no of guy he always uses but I am reluctant to ring. What part of Dorset are you? I have lots of customers tell us the problems they have...

John D why I am miffed about the price is that this was the company that put in the fence only 4 years ago. I think they should have fitted concrete posts in the first place but they didn't recommend anything! I picked them as I thought they were a decent company - on all the sites check a...

Had a new fence 16 panels fitted 4 years ago. The posts 4". 2 have rotted / broken off. The company want £140 to repair with concrete spurs. As I think that is taking the Michael I think we should do it ourselves. How far in the ground would spurs need to go in to be steady enough? Would...

We are on a slope. Next door's fence is 2 m high but as they are higher up they look over in to our garden. Can we put trellis on our own posts to go higher than their fence but it will be fixed on our land?

Thanks guys I understand how it all works now. I'll do a scale drawing of exactly what I want and send it to architectural guy to do it properly and hopefully he can point me in the right direction re costs. Finding a decent builder will be the next nightmare. A lot of cowboys down here and...
