Child's bedroom.

So this was what I intended to do first, if it makes it any easier to understand I do apologise about my drawing skills as well as my descriptions. I'm not good at explaining.

I don't have any image editing on my phone so can't draw straight lines Admittedly it isn't the best drawing/design. And I'm rubbish at explaining what I'm visualising. I do plan on doing a stud wall to separate the landing and bedroom exactly as you indicated (great sectioning BTW!) And then...

Great ideas. This was originally what I was thinking. Having a wardrobe on the left most area Not sure if you meant the same @Doitproper or if you meant having the bed further left so it's against the other wall? And then using the space on the right for something else. Excuse the poor drawings

the bulkhead area was originally partitioned off with bricks (very loose) so I removed them. I want to frame it properly and structurally so I can put a bed over the bulkhead. As well as space for a built in cupboard. The remaining brick wall is a central structural wall. Ceilings are 10ft. I...

Thanks for the advice. I figured the red line would be best, as like you mentioned it's more dangerous. I think the stairs were potentially steeper at one point (being a Victorian mid terrace) but previous owners replaced them and had to conform with regs. I've never liked the way it drops. I...

Hi, I'm wondering where to start my wall at the top of the landing. Do I line it up with the wall opposite (green line) Or bring it up to where the landing step is (red line) Please see pictures

Hi, can anyone offer advice? I've had my chimney stack removed to below roof level. The breasts still remain in the loft and 4 rooms below ground and first floor. The loft breast has corbelled brickwork supporting the ridge beam. I wish to remove the breast from the back of the house and...

I want to replace my open plan staircase with new stairs and a stud wall. The opposite side is a structural wall. What's the best order to do this in. Stairs then stud wall or wall then new staircase.

Thanks everybody for the feedback. Always good to have a more expert opinion on things. No joy with leak. So I'm hoping leak sealer will do for now.

This is a picture of the out flow? (Sorry if that's wrong terminology) from the boiler with 5 pipes split off going individually to each radiator (3 upstairs, 2 downstairs) Then another return flow with another 5 pipes coming into it, with both connecting to a larger (22mm?) Pipe which comes...

The house I bought had the cooker installed with lighting wire. There was an electric shower which I removed and replaced with mixer taps controlled by the boiler. Am I ok using the shower wire and feeding it into the kitchen for a circuit for a freestanding oven I want to install. Or will I...

I'll be insulating and boarding part of my loft for storage only. I'd like to strengthen the joists and make it level. I'm happy just to level the "boarded area." What's the best way to do this? Add noggins to stiffen the current joists? Sister timber along side the current joists? What size...

Please forgive me if this seems like an obvious answer. I'm not clued up at all. My boiler (it's about 15 years old) is upstairs in the small bedroom, my thermostat is downstairs in the living room. All but the bathroom radiator have TRVs fitted. Unfortunately, this is an extremely tiny room...

Thank you, I did consider expanding foam, but wasn't sure if it would be suitable, or maybe other options. I have inspected it more closely and found the reason for it. The lintel above the window hangs lower than the gap inside, so the frame could only go as high as the lintel meaning the...

Recently moved in the house. There's always lots of noise coming through, so I decided to tidy up all the sealant etc as it was a very poor job. I removed the top trim piece (it was cut way too short) and came across this large gap. I understand there might be some small gaps, but this is 40mm...
