Hi guys, just getting one of these done. What should I get within the survey report? Should the surveyor have a particular qualification or insurance for purposes if me claiming against him if information incorrect? thanks

just responding to your points.. A). Gro bags No. Planters, yes perhaps b). I do not want or need a chill out space... just a place for plants c) PRAY TELL!!!!!!!!

hmmm. So effectively, if I could find out how much mine is able to hold, would I be able to put a certain amount of weight on it without issues? How about erecting a minimal railing, a few inches high, around the edge.. sorry to be pedantic, but I don’t want to spend time and money on...

Would part K require structural calculation on timber/the roof to see if it’s up to holding a person weight? As I previously specified, no regular usage, just to hold pots

I get it, I get it, I look nuts, but I genuinely like plants- a green roof wi’ a few pots isn’t a clinical problem pal I really don’t want anything more or less than a view that includes a few plants in pots... you must remember it’s second floor, so it’s rather aloof up there looking at the...

Also, another slight twist... would I have an issue if after the installation of J balcony, I then went ahead and installed guard rails as I have drawn on the picture supplied? I’m thinking it might be better to have something that stopped pots rolling off in the event of high wind.

Dear Gents, im completely unable to decipher what the reference to part K and L are referring too. A layman’s guide would be most appreciated!

my comments were reasonable. This is a building section dahling not for your self conglatulary high brow dissection of my gaff. Buzz off ay? I got more taste than Marks and Sparks and if I want to add corbels, bells, balustrades, ballast and bollix then I will; I’ve already had validation...

AY? non comprendo Senor! TBH I’m an extremely keen gardener with an interest in arid plants... would be nice as I look out the Juliette on a Sunday morning, looking at A few pot plants!!!! Is it legal to put them in the flat roof?

I re iterate, your pompous comment was the WORST PR for architects. Your snooty ‘doesn’t look like it was designed by an architect’ is arrogant. If your design creative is as bad as your writing, then god help anybody getting a pad designed by you! It would be one of those places I often...

it’s flat and black! whars the legality of sitting pots on it?

great bit That’s the worst EVER PR for architects... yes I would need to draw on the skills of an architect, but my vision is far superior to anybody else’s FOR MY OWN HOUSE thanks very much, and architects are not superior beings in any way when it comes to design taste. I bet everybody on...

Hi all, ive got a horrible flat roof, and wanted to improve it with potted plants. I want to install either a Juliette balcony or doors that open out onto it. what are the options available to me to make this? Are there several ‘grades’ that one can make or apply to planners to make? I’ve...

That it is my friend. Huge space inside. Just needs prettying up. anybody got a view on changing the front tiles but leaving the rear ones? Thought slate would look better with a bay window....

Hi there pros, as the title says, would I need any official contact if I installed a skylight in the garage? thanks mark

I’d say probably 5k obviously no labour just materials. sketchup sounds good. I must give that a try! Another thing I’ve thought about which others may inform me about- Legality of replacing the roof tiles on one side (the front). Seems likes a total waste of time and money to do it on...

No just a block bay Window screeded, maybe double height but sounds complicated?! I’ll be doing it, and I’m in trades, but not an expert at block work

I know- the architect needs shooting. I need to upload some design app to help me as I really want to sort it out. To my mind it’s odd

I was thinking upper half brick slips, lower half block work and screeded and then painted white (maintenance wise long term makes sense as I intend to leave the house in a casket and we all get to a ton in the family genes so want ease of maintenance) As next door to the right is fully white...

Thanks guys- sorry for late reply...VE Day and birthday... here’s a pic of the front. I hate how it looks right now! You can see the neo Georgian bay window - yuk!
