Hi, Any recommendations* for timber merchants in the Swansea area? I'm after wood for studding and decking. Thanks *apologies if this breaches any terms or conditions

Yes they do appear to be 3" blocks :) My father in laws experience I think did include timber at the bottom of the downstairs wall. The upstairs wall in ours seem to have be rendered down to floor level, whether there's block right down to the floor I'm not sure yet. Thinking about it when...

Existing PVC open outwards luckily so the interior door will open inwards. The main up and over does need some TLC and a bit of a service so I could work seals into that along with a weather bar etc. The front half will still be used for the tumble dryer, storing bikes, garden stuff...

I've had a couple of builders look at removing an interior wall, the second wants to put steel in but it seems unnecessary in this instance. Apologies in advance in the following is confusing :) House is a smallish 60s semi with the joists running longways front to back, the wall in...

That's the other option we're looking into and need to speak to the local water authority about the options.

Previously I found a company online who produced conservatories which were partly hung from the house and partly supported by telescopic legs with clad panels around the base. Can't find them now though, has anyone else seen these and can point me in the right direction? I ask as we have...

I'm planning something similar but on a smaller scale so I'll keep a keen eye on this thread. I'm looking at roughly interior dimensions of 6ft x 9ft and would also be windowless but would work in the existing glazed uPVC side door.
