    Attaching a detached garage - PD clarity

    Would it still be classed as detached if a roof structure came over the end of the garage stopping short of the house say 1cm and then you flashed it to the house, so effectively it's a "walkway" just waterproof?

    Detached garage with planning permission.

    Is Dulux Trade paint total rubbish?

    I have just painted my stairs and landing in Valsper v700, it's a very good paint, goes in really nicely and a lovely finish. No smell either and a discount with the trade card.

    That's quite sceptical to assume that just as a newbie thats my intention. And I know people do that. But as I said, I agree the wording in my post does read a little like that, which was not my intention so, I appoligise if it came across like that.

    2nd story and garage conversion

    My FIL has been a builder for 50 years, pretty much retired now (he won't really retire properly lol). So he has done everything from building houses, extensions, driveways, everything basically. I have just been learning from him really, I pick things up quite quickly so it's been really good...

    Why would you assume this is my friends or even my firm? I am a little offended by that. It may have read like an advert after reading it back, but its not I can assure you that.

    2nd story and garage conversion

    One room I am particularly proud of is my new ensuite bathroom, which took quite some time to do, about 6 weeks i think if not longer. We had a blank space and I wanted a high end bathroom. So I custom built all the framework for a sit in shower and bath surround and fitted all cabinets...

    Hi This was my last project, we had a builder in to do the main brickwork and roof, but me and my father in law did everything else from plumbing, electrics, plasterboarding, floorings, all the plastic windows everything else basically. Took a while, but worth the savings. Main took about 9...

    Home office fitted furniture

    I converted my garage a while back when I done a 2 story extension above, I used https://m.officefurnitureonline.co.uk to kit it out, as they have a very large variety of desks lengths, depths, styles, cabinets, bookshelves, filing cabinets that all match. I gave them the dimensions of the room...

    Detached garage.

    Thanks, yes this is what I had believed to be the case regarding full planning and ignoring PD. I have covered all the aspects of the exemption. Cannot wait to start in the new year and get on the digger

    Problem with draughts on my new upvc porch door.

    Sounds like the door was not measured properly and certainly not fitted correctly. I would demand they sort it.

    Detached garage.

    OK, so let me see if this is how I see it. PD, less than 30sqm, has to be fireproof if closer than 1mtr of a boundary and 2.5mtrs high. No planning permission required, no building regs required. PP, the same as above, but 4.5mtrs high. Planning approved, no building regs required...
