This seems to be a topic that I am repeatedly involved in!!! A very close friend of mine has returned from a month working abroad to find that their neighbour has actually built an outbuilding which breaches the boundaries of their property and onto the garden of my friend. How they...

Hi all I have a shared alleyway with my neighbour and approximately a week ago our garden and summer house were burgled due to lack of security (open access into his garden via the shared alleyway and also a fence panel on his side missing which I have now resolved). As the alleyway is...

Just lack of confidence really as never applied for the like. Also not sure how it would impact cost as I imagine would need proper plans etc drawing up.

Thanks nickjb I certainly wont be doing any electrics and we have a fully qualified chap in mind who did an en-suite for us at the end of last year! We are considering including heating in the summerhouse in the form of a small wood burner which will make it usable throughout the year...

Good Afternoon All In the summer we are planning on tearing down the current structures that we have at the end of our garden (small shed and neighbouring animal enclosure) and replacing with a new larger summerhouse which will house a treadmill, a desk and some seating. I have a few...

Not the most descriptive and helpful subject and for that I apologise! :| Am boxing off the corner of a room to become an en-suite however rather than put the door in line with a wall I want to maximise the space in the room and put the door at a diagonal but am unsure how the door frame will...

Possibly but that would require some angle cutting and judging by my coving attempts then it didn't end well!

I am looking for some brass caps for a pigs ear handrail. Google search and eBay doesn't help. Does anyone know a supplier? Cheers Ian

however a low profile shower tray might be an option!!

Always been a bit nervous of putting a 'wet room' in an upstairs room. :?
