Hi, I have recently re-sited my feed water tank on my conversion roof. It is sitting on a left over sheet of 100mm kingspan which is in turn sitting off the ground on a couple of flat lying 6x2's. My question is now that the cold weather is coming i need to box it in and insulate it. Do you...

Hi soory, been busy with my appointed builder. Scoffolding goig up next week. Indus, I sent you a private message via the forum with all the details I take it you didn't get it?

I thank you... :wink:

joe-90 I am not cheap cheap cheap. I am happy to pay good money for good work, but there is only one person in this world that has the pleasure of screwing me. :D

Of course I want to be in control. This is MY house. One that I worked very hard for. I don't particulary want to by materials but when "reputable" builders are charging my £3000 for steel I know I can get for £1k and £400 for velux windows I know I can get for £250. Of course I am going to...

mointainwalker, let me assure you I am not getting worked up. I just found the comment fasinating and frankly an insult to the good builders out there who dont put the price of a velux window up by 100% just because its hidden in a big number at the bottom of a quote. I fully understand my...

'Skim all the cream'? I worked bloody hard for that cream as you like to put it and want it to work just as hard back. Let me see if i understand what you are saying, because i dont see why i should let a builder add a 20 percent or more mark up on the exact same supplies i know i can source...

Thanks all, always good to get replies. But does anyone actually know of someone who wants to do the job!!! Cheers

Hi all Can anyone recommend a builder to do "shell" loft conversion. Basically I need someone to do the structural work and get me to a place where I can get on with the inside. I've had numerous "companies" around to quote me but I am not after a "one stop shop" and when I ask them to...

Hi all, I'm doing a mid-terrace loft conversion and 2nd floor rear extension in London/Wandsworth area and am at the point where I need a structural engineer to do my technical drawings for my builder. Anyone got an idea of the sort of price I should be paying for this service. Not keen on...

Hi jeds, thanks for your reply. Not sure I get the 3m limit though. I am not adding/extending to the footprint of the house just building/extending up on top of the existing first floor. As there are no volume limitations in Class A and I am not extending the footprint I didnt see why I...

Hi all, firstly sorry for a post similar to others but from what I have seen in other posts doesnt fully help. I have a standard 2 storey (ground and first) Victorian mid terrace house. I want to do a Loft Conversion and Rear extension in one project. However, on the rear extension I...
