Not sure I get the point here - especially as that looks like a single brick wall i.e. there isn't a cavity so I would expect to see something!

Erm that is a mess - even if it was going to be rendered there are bricks the wrong way round. Is there a Steel Lintel above the bifolds as there should be but it doesn't look like there is. The only way it can be fixed is to be taken down and rebuilt - otherwise Render it but I wouldn't be...

Thanks Wessex - feasibility study showed it cheaper to build with what we have - Given the age it isn't in that bad a condition (we currently live in it). I realise there is a VAT Saving of knocking it flat but there are offsetting costs - one such example of these would be the need for us to...

That's one thing I was a bit worried These things seem way off though, they built a 400 square metre house plus an anex for £330k that's madness. He did a lot himself but still! He thinks he saved £100k with that but that's still less the £1000 a square metre...

Think I have probably been sprung by my architect... but yes whole new floor and extensions to make existing bigger not conversion of a loft. I would just add that there is nothing wrong with the designs in fact we are very happy - more likely the budget and I am wondering if we need to look at...

Hi All, Not sure if this is in the right forum however... We are about to embark on a building project. Basically we bought a bungalow and we want to turn it into a house. Currently the designs are coming up short (to what we want and size) and the concerns we have is we have one chance to get...

Isn't this what is called Laying Overhand. My builder had to do this on a garage I had built as my old neighbour was a complete arse and wouldn't let us on his land to build it. Realise he didn't have to but I was even going to let him remove the fence and have a little bit more garden...

No a manga clean cleans the water as it travels around the system. The oil filter will be to filter and crud out of the oil that can get into it. Unlike gas oil isn't a clean product. It's a bit like your car has a fuel filter!

Yep, my price included VAT and was a web price. His trade discount may mean it's a bit cheaper or he is quoting without VAT. Couple of things I would say. He lives in your street so you know where to find him if things go wrong, that on its own is probably worth a couple of hundred pounds. The...

I am no expert but given the boiler is £2400 it doesn't seem too bad for what you are having done.

We are looking to do something similar. Basically our garden is already terraced but the last terrace isn't flat so we want to make it flat and support the garden behind us. Our access is very limited as well. At present it seems out only option is gabions due to the access - they are also...

We recently paid a fully qualified tree surgeon with insurance £400 for a days work (Local). Including removal of all of the waste (chipings) but leaving logs cut up as we have an open fire. Him and his mate were there for 8 hours and it was good value for money. We had various quotes and these...

Adding some pictures of clearout day - prior to completion of contracts. Everything got dumped on the drive and we had a skip delivered the saturday after we moved in. Basically removed half the kitchen, all the carpets and curtains. Cleaners then followed us in the place was grim...
