Even just to attach a simple shed to your house do you need approval.....

Hi, i'm going to have a shed/outhouse/summer house joined on to the back of my house. I have added a photo so you can get an idea of what it will look like. The area the base is to sit on is concrete and on top of this is decking, so we are going to put a waterproof sheeting down then a proper...

Hi, I'm just about to post on here somewhere for advice...I am having a shed/outhouse type of construction built against my house and am doing it from scratch. I did wonder whether to buy a building but it worked out more expensive. I will add a photo of the sort of building I wanted to buy...

I have decided to have a wooden roof now, mainly because of bits of tiles sliding off the roof to be honest. I don't want to take any chances.

HI, My washing machine is unbelievably deafening when it is on a spin cycle, I have never heard anything like it before. Its been like this for about 4 months now, what can I do....is it about to die! Any advice appreciated.

Would it be suitable if I made a concrete base then flooring on top of that!

I am a bit stuck then to be honest....I cannot have a conservatory, so felt that the lean to in the pic above would be perfect. But they must have teirs sitting on a raised concrete base i'm guessing.

No damp proof course for the floor as it won't be touching the ground, it will be sitting on top of decking. I definitely want a clear/see through roof as its going to be so dark. I am having electrics put out there and maybe a radiator, or maybe a plug in heater, not sure what one to pick to...

r896neo thank you for your reply. What would be the best thing to buy, do you have a suggestion at all. Can you explain more about ' I need to detail it correctly using tape over ends' as I have no idea what I am doing! I already have a concrete floor and I have wooden decking over the top...

Hello, I am planning on having the lean to/summer house below built, but I would like to have a clear/see through roof ( the ones you have on a conservatory) would this be possible or will it make it too weak to stand up in bad weather.

I'm not sure whether to post here or on the buildings page? I am in desperate need of some more space in my house and I am just not sure what to do or how to do it. I have been looking on ebay and have seen some really fab lean to's/porch style of room that is attached to the back of the house...

Hi, When you go out my back door I have a patio area all made of concrete....this is what the lean to will sit on and it will also be attached to my house. I don't suppose I can't just put a lean to conservatory on this concrete can I if I make sure it is securely attach to the house would that...

Noseall, all I need it to do is to keep my fridge freezer, sofa and table and chairs safe, i.e. no freezing up inside the unit or letting water in. I am happy to try and insulate it as much as possible and even put a small heater in there, but I just don't want it where I find my freezer is...

I must add that the way my house is positioned I get really strong winds at the back of my house so things go flying around the garden. My house is about 3ft higher up the the houses on one side of me? It is a bit of a wind trap so I feel that if I pick the cheap Argos garden room, I may have to...

Hello and thank you for your replies.....Ladylola yes that is the one i'm referring to and yes that is the video ive seen that shows the flimsiness of it. I do have hundreds and not thousands to spend, I do have offers of help to do things like the electrics and putting it together etc, but I...

Hello, I have been asking on other forums for advice and not got one answer so far! Someone please tell me: I'm looking to have some kind of lean to or similar joined on to the back of my house....I cannot afford a conservatory, I have been looking at the cheap second hand ones for sale but...

Hi John, it does not need defrosting as its a 6ft tall fridge. I never thought of it being slightly tilted forward so will check that out. Thank you very much for your good advice.x

Thank you for your reply John, i think you dead right on that one. I constantly keep noticing the door is slightly open, so this is going to cause the condensation then. I have to keep going back to the fridge and pushing the door hard. Thank you, Carolyn

Is this dangerous or normal???? Hi, I have a 6ft tall larder fridge, i was moving it the other day and i noticed water on the floor? When i looked behind the fridge, at the very bottom at the back there seems to be some kind of big plastic pot! It's properly fixed into the fridge so it is...

I think i will just have to pay someone to come out and look, as i know nothing about the drum etc.
