I have seen in some houses where the external floor level is the same as the internal, so basically when you step outside it is the same level. But i am not sure how this was done because as far as i know your external ground level needs to be 2 courses (150mm) below your DPC. My extension has...

Extension is nearing completion now and plaster will probably be done in abt a weeks time. Have opted to do the painting myself as it seems a job that i could do myself. Just wondering what layers should i need to use on freshly plastered walls? i just assumed it would be a base coat and...

Hey Ban, Oh yeah we alredy crossed those bridges. they said if i dont put in a window then it can only be used as a storage/walk in wardrobe and a cinema room. If as an office/bedroom then will need the window in which we have already included in our plans and they have passed it. We are just...

I am thinking of getting one of the Velux sun tunnel/tubes installed to one of my bedrooms but was just wondering if anybody has installed one of these and if it was a difficult job as i will be looking for someone to do it for me and just want to gauge the time it will take which in turn shoulf...

making good but no inc regs fee because i have already included that in the works that i have carried out.

yeah it wasnt going to be a habitble room as it was planned to be a room for storage and a walk-in wardrobe. But then we contemplated on the size of it and it can pretty much be a decently sized bedroom and would definetly pay for itself if we made it into a 'bedroom' so we are leaning towards...

Yeah he already has a scoffold on site but its at one part of the house, the place for this window to be installed is at the end/side of the house where there wasnt scaffolding required.

Having an additional bedroom put into our house at the moment (2 storey extension) which leaves 1 of the old bedrooms without a window (may possibly looking to put a window in). But for the meantime we are possibly looking to have it as cinema/playroom or a walk-in wardrobe. What do you guys...

Basically i am having a double story extension onto my house (about 70% complete) at the moment. So an additional bedroom is being added but the adjoining (existing) bedroom is having its windows taken out and bricked up because the new bedroom is being built right next to it. As the old...

Hi Woody, Thanks for your swift reply, and also thanks for that advice that you have given. The drawings that have been provided are quite meticulously detailed and i hope should cover most of what is required/expected of the work, other than things like you mentioned which will be out of...

Hi guys, Have been planning for a while to get a 2-Story extension done on the house, I have a friend who is an architect and he has basically done me the favor of sorting out the design and the planning process (attached the actual PDF of the plans in this post) etc............all of which has...

Hi newboy, Thanks for your advice, i can see what you mean by the laterals. Im going to pour some water down there to see if they are in use or not because from the angle that i looked down it seemed as though it was blanked off. I cant actually 'move' the cover away from the hole location...

Ah right ok that makes sense and its flowing from my kitchen to the outside, but if R-L then it would seem to suggest that it is flowing towards my back yard? i would have assumed that it would flow towards the main road which is the opposite direction (front of my house). obviously i know...
