Yes, at the very least it's let water under the render. Best do a search on cracks and how to plug them. It might also be movement due to the newer upvc windows and not enough support. Have a search for bay window cracks on here.

Set your dpc higher on the external skin on that side then cavity tray on the internal skin above your external dpc. I'd like to know about those drains though.

You can just take you ufh pipes down the middle of the 2 wires, makes very little difference when you are laying it if you are following a wire or in between.

Thinner paving slabs.

Would have just been soil most likely then hardcore then slab then battens in screed builders paper then chipboard. Depends how well the house was built etc

10mx10m is a sizable building, I'd look for a steel frame building clad either insulated or uninsulated with 5x10 building and a 5x10 canopy for when it rains. You can use this area for sinks etc. I would have thought if you did some haggling and gave some free advertising you could get that in...

You can still get LBC rustics, or ibstock do one as well.

No idea, maybe for cosmetic reasons to get the bricks up the ceiling. Who knows and it does not really matter in the end as you will need to support the heath anyway. Also do you know that this is a question mark ?

Yes

Yes over time they will weather. You could get some very watered down cement tint and paint it on, yogurt is meant to be good for garden walls you want to look old quicker. Are you terraced? I would have a look at lime wash if you're not.

1. 60k 2. 8 weeks 3. Am i colour blind or are you? 4. Yes? No, maybe, depends if what else is on the property and if anything has removed your pd rights etc.

Rebuild the wall? If you use red mortar to patch the bricks it will look a mess. You cut out the damaged bricks and replace, match the lime mortar colour. Both these will take you ages. You will never get a perfect finish. So take it all off and see if you can live with the finish first.

Sounds about right, tiles will pull the plaster off the board.

Get it all off and see what it looks like. It may be ok. Then just render it. :D LBC rustic is such a council house brick, whoever made that design wants smacking with a decent brick.

You might want another layer of plaster over the top of your insulation, just some thin polly will do.

Just no. So much wrong, you might get someone killed.

Slab does not need to be pumped and BnB still needs screed curing time, so you might save 2 weeks, other work can still be going on. Suspended floor is for speed and where levels would cause problems. Always go for a slab where you can.

Sorry i had to quote and have a good laugh at this, the only way you will get straight timber reliably is to pick it yourself. Jewson is horrid for timber around mine. Roof batons look like they have been ripped apart, cls meets EU banana regulations so does 4x2 PSE. And door linings, you're...

Use 2 new steel beams and put new struts at 90 degrees?
