Don't get phobbed off in getting your beam painted unless it's exposed. :sneaky::sneaky:

As already stated they are 2 different building joined together with a bit of mortar. They are going to move independently. Just fill the gap with some expansion join mastic.

Ask your SE, we can only guess on here. There must not be too much weight on it as it's sat on your wall plate and not on a pad stone. It's all really about deflection and I doubt that cut will make any difference.

There are a couple of people on here who will self build it for around £10, but they get all their stuff off freebay or swap it for 'services'.

£70-£100k -£150k v.good standard £200k architectural Maybe somewhere around £1500-2500 /m2

How much are you spending on heating and how long is it on for what fuel are you using etc It may be that you've moved to an older bigger property which just costs more yo heat. Be carefull of plugging all your holes, you may cause injury. Carbon monoxide kills a lot of people. You may also get...

Seems like a standard type of extension which a got of people are doing at the moment, so you won't have any trouble finding some examples of pricing.

With those pvc soffits it will be pvcu windows :D

Is your drainage to help with ground drainage or for the property? Do you get standing water?

Yeah I would have thought so too, no way they would do this in real life.

Alright Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, I think a timber or aluminum would look more out of place as they'll have PVCu windows and doors everywhere else. Aww it's nice to see a wet verge and ridge.

It's nice to have a little return so you can add architrave and a little bit of plastered wall.

Maybe the floor is keeping the roof up! You'll have no problems in wedgeing the stud wall, if you have access you might want to screw down into the floor joists as well.
