Hi guys, Looking to have some work done in the garden. Basically a large decking area with a 6 x 3 pergola with a flat roof. Does this sound reasonable? Any thoughts? Finding people to do this job is proving difficult. I'm in the South East btw. The pergola is 6 x 3 and the decking in total...

Thanks. It's going to be installed on patio slabs and a bit of border I need to clear.

Hi, We would like a pergola on some decking in the garden, about 5m by 3m and ideally with a solid roof. What type of timbers would be best for this? We want something attractive and durable but can't break the bank on something for garden. Any tips or suggestions would be most welcome as we...

For most people it isn't easy to simply "find a proper designer". They all talk the talk but seems not many have a clue.

The rate per square m would be dependent on where you live as well. £1500 in the Southeast where I am would be cheap

Hi, Next door had a wood burner installed a few months ago. We have noticed tonight (possible it has always been like this) that our side of the party wall where the wood burner is gets quite hot. I plan to have a word but haven't got a clue if this is normal or it has been badly installed...

We did similar and had to use another product on the outside that had a certain fire resistance. I can't remember the product we used but the one in the BC plans was Supalux. This was only because we built to the boundary so were within 1m of it. Surely the person doing your BC plans should...

thanks again. I spoke to hotpoint and he said it should run out of that grill/hole in the bottom shelf. He also said frost free freezers should be defrosted once a year. Brand new information for me :)

Thanks. So at the bottom here?

Out of interest this is an integrated machine. Where is all the water going to go? I can't get the machine out

Hi, Have an integrated frost free freezer. At the top it was making an awful noise. Had hotpoint out and he said the fan that blows the cold air is hitting ice and it needs defrosting. Since when do frost free freezers need defrosting? Anyone else had this problem? Thanks

Download the pdfs from your council website and edit those using something like GIMP. If of course it was a recent ish extension and the pdfs exist.

You may get pelters from the forum regulars for this post Seriously though, £600 sounds on the cheap side unless what you propose is a porch. What type of extension is it?

Are building reg plans definitely included as usually these are prepared once planning has been approved?

Recently had the carpet on the landing done. When the fitter was doing it he was going to a normal gripper but like you say it would have protruded into the bedrooms so didnt want that. Rub the current ones down and spray paint to give metal effect? Bad idea?

Ok thanks. Will be easier when we replace the bedroom carpets but not something I want to spend out on at the mo.

Hi guys, Looking to replace these ugly looking wood door bars with some chrome. What the best thing to use? Obviously normally the bedroom carpet would have been further across and a normal gripper bar could have been used. Hallway carpet is new. Thanks

Ours ended up like this and from the wall to the balustrade it's about 830mm. There is plenty of room.

I would post your plans on here as if they don't contain much detail the builder will pick them apart and charge you for every extra
