Hi, Im after a little advice before i start looking for builders as i will get unbiased opinion from this forum i hope. 1) How much cost difference is there between fitting an RSJ to a external load bearing wall over a 3.5 mtr opening or a 5.75 mtr opening (so thats either knocking through...

Yeah they moved in a few months ago and seem fine so i will be keeping them sweet through all the building work but leeds city council have an open agreement in terms of time of lease (ie not limited to 12 months etc) i will email the council and see what they have to say about it.

Thanks again so much, Ive also found some sample letters to serve and to get them to sign but who i do serve them to the tenants or leeds city council. Next door seems pretty nice there will only be 1 storey high and ground level then the 1st floor it will be 2 meters away from the...

Thanks for the reply. I just didnt want to expect the builder to do all the paperwork so wanted to know what i had to get in order. Im sure the builder would of served party wall notices before. But i read that its not a form to fill in but just a letter to the neighbour you will be...

Im very sorry but i need some good old plain english explaination for what i need to do for my extension. Ok so i live in leeds and under the permitted development i understand that i can build a full width lower extension but no deeper than 3 meters outwards from the house then the upstairs...

Ok ive started to look into if i can put a window in the side. The next question i want to know is, how hard it is to actually put a new window opening into a wall?

Ive not moved into the property yet and live 60 miles away from it at the moment, this is really planning for the future as its only 2 bedrooms and we only have 1 child (but you know what wife's are like). This would be the only way to make it into a 3 bedroom house, unless you could use a...

Im buying a house and i want to know if i could put another window in the side of the house on the 2nd floor this would make it so i can split the bedroom into 2 bedrooms. The house does have 2 windows facing the same side on the first floor. The house has about 6 meters of land to the...

No thanks im very low tech guy not into things like that, i dont even like a tv in bedrooms, the main tv just has a freeview box and i dont even watch tv just the wife for the soaps, daughter for kids tv thats it.

Well at the min i only use 1 double socket (extension lead into 3 plugs though 2 lamps and clock radio) in the main bedroom and my daughters room she only uses 1 plug for her night light but true about the vac, the one on our landing will reach to all upstairs. Will cost of install go up with...

So 4 doubles per room, thats 16 sockets (without kitchen) then maybe landing and hall for vac? The house will/should be empty and i wont be putting anything in till the wiring is done, i have a 2.6kw genny for power so thought i could use that for temp lighting. Arial points not thats...

[/url] I was only going to remove the wires that i could fully expose so i knew he wouldnt have to use them as draw wires hence why i asked about leaving the old light socket wires in place but i doubt they would pull out as it a very old house.

Yeah i just need to find a good one man band to help me with this project hence why i added the postcode on the title incase someone saw it on here, i also like one man bands as they normally are cheaper as less overheads buildings tax man etc but i agree i dont need to find and discuss what...

HI, I need some advice, im buying a house in DN10 (Doncaster) and when i looked the fuse box was the old black type so i though a full rewire would be a good idea as the whole house needs work. So im trying to find the cheapest/cost effective way to do it, i work for British Gas as a...
