It'll be a craft room/room for the kids to play in and a store room to the left. I had thought demolition but our budget is small, it's already taller than 2.4m so we can convert without planning and a new build would be subject to height restrictions so close to the boundary. I've watched...

I've been looking at the span for 0.5kn pr sqm. Not sure if that's correct. I will need a structural engineer to confirm.

Interesting. Just been on their website and we would require 300x72 at 400 centres. I'll contact them for a price. I like the interactive span table on the website - great for late night research! I'll have a conversation with BC tomorrow about their expectations (we've gone private as our...

It is staying. It doesn't have to, I guess. I just never thought about it being removable... Hmmm Will be checking foundations after Xmas. If good enough, the 3m and 4.5m isn't too bad. 7x2 for a 4.5 span.

Some more photos for condition and layout

Hi, We are converting a double detached garage at the back of our garden. It will need building regs approval because of the size (45sqm) and being at the boundary on 3 sides. I am struggling with the roof - The open span of it (5.79m) is not even in the span tables so I am imagining we will...

We have a large, detached double garage that we'd like to convert into a hobby room (no sleeping or toilets). It has a corrugated metal roof on it at the moment which is in really good condition that I could reuse but it's been mentioned that it could sweat over the insulation/rafters etc and...

My thoughts are that there is some kind of flue behind it and the small gap between stud walls upstairs is also housing that. If we could reduce it, that would be good as it takes up a lot of space (the room is only 2.5m wide as it is). The radiator will be moved anyway. The hearth under the...

Hi all, we have just bought our first house and there is a chimney breast in the dining room that is hollow when knocked on. We would like to knock it down but will need to get surveyors In to let us know it isn’t structural. there is no breast upstairs (but there is a small gap and false walls...

We've got lots of patches that have just fallen off or been scraped off when removing furniture so my guess is that it's not in the best condition. I've been advised not to plaster over it as it will just crumble off and to board over it but we can't really afford to lose those precious...

We were being hopeful! Yes, the carpet is... present... and will be gone as soon as we're done stripping walls etc!

Hi! We are buying a house and we believe this is artex but I'm kind of hoping someone can tell me its textured paint or something! Its flaking away in places. We'll have an asbestos check done when we get the keys anyway but I'm getting impatient and doing as much research as I can beforehand!
