If that’s an unused chimney (looks like an electric fire in there?) then you could route the cabling from the right alcove to come out behind the tv, so no need for trunking. Obviously a bit of drilling involved.

Sounds like you’ve sorted it. Exactly the same thing happened when I had a ground floor extension built, the builder plaster-boarded over what was previously an external wall with an overflow from the 1st floor toilet. Unknown to us initially, the toilet cistern had an issue of intermittent...

OPs damp pics look v similar to our old place. we had a similar situation in our last house, our ‘semi’ had become a terrace about 80 years ago, the newly built attached house next door was built on higher ground with apparently little thought of the dpc details. No amount of exposing or...

The original garage was situated behind the rear line of the house and demolished and replaced by the utility 20+ years ago. There is currently external doors between the utility and the conny and the dining room and the conny. The door to the old kitchen was removed when the conservatory was...

Would agree normally, but everything else was perfect and we knew we would be sorting the conservatory out pretty quickly. It was an eyes wide open purchase

Thanks for the comments. The conny didn’t have BR certs when we bought it (apart from the kitchen installation electrics) which I know it should have had, given the external-grade doors to the original kitchen have been removed. We were ok with this as we always intended to replace it with a...

Yes absolutely. Thanks, next step is to get a professional to come have a look.

What’s the right one woody? I am trying to save effort and disruptions in replacing what we have here with a useable room. So my question is Whether possible or is it a case of rip it all out (groundworks, floor, heating electrics, kitchen, wall) and start again? my presumption was that...

I guess the question I’m asking is whether the existing structures (house wall, utility wall, possibly conny wall?) can be used to attach a replacement roof that *does* meet building regs, as an alternative to taking the whole thing down, ground works etc. The new roof would be built off...

We’ve just moved into this house which has a kitchen diner inside a conservatory. The pics below are from the Rightmove advert. 2 sides of the conservatory are the existing house and a utility room, a third wall was built for the conservatory. Only the rear 4th side is glazed substantially with...

Can you explain what you mean please? I don;t have the drawings yet, but as explained to me by the arch tech, the dormer will be built on the boundary wall in this way specifically so that a later dormer on their side can be added by removing tiles on the side wall and joining it on - no gap...

Thanks, is there any requirement for the notices to be separate, or can I add the paragraph from both notices into one document?
