absolutely 9 times out of 10 it will pull back in

At the same time it 'aint rocket science. paint the wood and not the glass. I reckon if you can't get the hang of cutting in after an hour or so you are probably going to struggle to do a decent job, full stop. You can even get pre-cut brushes for cutting in nowadays.

I wouldn't say that was too far out of the question for a straight sand undercoat and paint. But if its a case of trying to posh it up filling chips and dents etc and getting it back good then that's another story all together and very much depends upon the condition now and the quality of the...

No

I resemble that remark

two layers of fire board Should be more than adequate, providing the stairs are only serving a single flat above. Stairwell would have to be compartmentalised as Woody suggested and probably soundproofed from the lower flat even though it wouldn't require testing. On that subject, if your layout...

Back to your original question looks like you have enough reveal to get a little stub sill on there say 50mm or so deep. Cut out all that gash silicone fit the sill rebated around the reveal. Glue it down or better still fix with a couple of screws and plugs if you have enough reveal. Not sure...

yep all depends on what was done and why and what insurance backed guarantees are in place. Different lenders and insurers will have different views on the situation

interesting, wonder if he would have been happy if there wasn't any room for insulation.

would have thought it would be OK, double up as per this side

not the greatest but that might be going a bit far, clearly just a bit of a mis-measure to level off of the hips. Agree with datarebal it wouldn't have taken much to re-cut or do a proper splice, but its not really going to cause any problems, I/m sure we've all packed the odd rafter out at some...

as woody suggested when you come to do the other side, consider sitting your rafters over the top of your "ridge beam". This will as he explained allow you to tile up to the top of the ridge. also will reduce some of the lateral force on the beam

Stop talking in riddles and either explain to the man what the issues are or don't bother answering questions with questions. 4 pages of utter drivel and barely a useful comment, just bickering, innuendo and subterfuge. I'm not a gas engineer but what I think is being hinted at here is that...

seems about right for London. Here in Oxford my mate would do a 3x4 living room for around the £550 mark I would say closer to twice that a decent finish is around £40 for the primer and £80 for the finish. I recently did a living room and dining room (about 25sqm) for about £250 myself, but...

if you are thinking of patch sanding you might struggle to match the finish, particularly if it is a factory applied finish. probably better to sand the lot off. Got a picture of the affected floor?

yes as they were part of the original roof space, you haven't reduced the amount of roof space just partitioned some of it off. Wouldn't have thought anyone was going to quibble over the odd few m3. It's to prevent huge box dormers on larger properties being built under PD

Chimney effect, probably a contributing factor to Grenfell I wouldn't be so sure especially with a flames burning along the plane of the surface. again its about the rapid spread of fire in a cavity between floors or adjacent dwellings. As woody says its about compartmentalisation containing...

Need some more information, type of house is the dormer fronting the highway, dimensions, listed building, conservation are. were there any reasons given why it didn't fall under PD, reasons why it would be refused under a planning application. As to your neighbour having to remove theirs...

yep he is correct with the proviso there isn't a gas combustible device in there such as a boiler, in which case it would a fire door

just make sure the legs do wedge it up nice and tight.
