    Cladding and roof tiles - permitted?

    Diyisfun - there is no longer a way of asking our planning department a question. No planning dept phone number/ email on the website. We can now only issue a complaint via the planning portal. It’s a crazy system of making it nigh on impossible to contact the LA except reporting/complaining...

    Cladding and roof tiles - permitted?

    Hi, Hope someone will help with a planning question please :)...I can't find the answer on Google... A local builder-developer likes to push planning permission to the limit (there is history x 3). The latest is his current work on a terraced house opposite, unlisted and not in a conservation...

We use it for storage and as a much loved summerhouse and have invested in it over the years. There has always been a...

    Insulation and boarding a loft floor

    Yes - we can buy 100mm insulation and install it ourselves but it doesn't seem that we can get a grant unless it's the recommended depth (250mm) and it's professionally installed. We have changed tack and we are now looking at installing Warmcell 100 (recycled newspaper). Costs a bit more...

    Insulation and boarding a loft floor

    Problem: We need to use our loft for storage. Our plan was to get the whole loft floor insulated, taking advantage of the govt. energy saving subsidy, then board out the middle third section on top of the insulation. We had our loft surveyed by a company. The thickness of insulation material...
