30% on top of the build costs, works out 23% of the total and final bill after

Isnt it more likely to be expansion and contraction of your gutters or soffit and fascias etc, or some other element of your roof? So 6am as thats when sun comes up and temp starts rising maybe? In the heat i gut some creaks and snaps etc from fascias expanding and plastic bits moving on the house

I imagine the pros and cons beyond the cost are mostly visually, yes maybe one option suits insulation better or worse, or one option gives slightly more or less space, or slightly faster or slower, what do you actually want it to look like - what would you be happy with? maybe google or take a...

I cant ever see him getting compensation from a concrete company, ever. Did he specify a concrete mix design for the concrete? Did he sign the delivery ticket confirming the load was acceptable against his order? Has he any proof the concrete is defective or against specification, below...

Why not just do it properly and replace the boot?? is there a reason why he didnt do that???

yes maybe plaster not perfect, or lining not perfectly plumb or perfectly square, even if its out by a few mm, 45 degree cuts may open up a little like yours has. maybe if the mitres were closed perfect the architrave would look out somewhere else etc. I woudlnt stress

I had these small doors in my 1930s house in 4 cupboards. Bit of love im sure you can make something second hand work

Isnt this exactly what you want?? Door 1: 6 panel - 720mm (width) x 1550mm (height) x 29mm (depth)...

If thats the worse of the work on your extension overall, you havnt got a lot to worry about. Think big picture in my opinion. Decent decorators will make those gaps disappear. Yes your joiner could and probably should do a better job, and maybe we all could do a better job, but just being...

Foams looks terrible, do it properly with the correct collar, or replace damage brick

depends exactly on what type 1 you get - granite, limestone etc - and then what the density of that material is (check google) and the weight of the bulk bag normally around 850kg I think

stuff like this bugs me, just being lazy and out of sight out of mind - for them atleast!

What about the carpet etc? Will that also be modular carpet tiles lol? You would be best in my opinion securing floor tradition way and install a thin raised access panel floor - more of an office or commercial building you are starting to build rather than anything residential!

Does the cctv survey not go to yourself first? I'm certain they wouldn't send it directly to water company or council unless you used the water company themselves to do the cctv survey Have a review first and see what the defect is actually presented as in detail Then maybe ask the builder...

You suggested gravel which is maybe why the inspector did not understand, but something compressible should be the solution

I would say no lintel needed there If you also try putting one in you may end up exposing the adjacent flue coming from downstairs

Maybe get a nice big camera on the front door of your mums house? That will atleast scare of some door knockers and allow you to have some recording of these types of opportunists - ring type

probably would look better if they rendered the whole chimney. So annoying when its the little details that let down the whole job

Concrete lintel and render over it all nice and new as all the render needs addressing in the local area anyway? What if the bricks get damaged when removing and the new soldier course will have to be sourced from newer bricks may not get a good match ?

Yes first check your plan - and you can also get a copy of your direct neighbours plan also online I believe. So you have full understand from both plans and see if they match up and say the same thing - I would do that before you even mention it with your neighbour. What is the current...
