It is cracked but as I mentioned it's in a porch and faces away from the prevailing wind direction, so doesn't get wet

Thanks! So you reckon it is just the inner window sill and post that have moved inwards from the wall/door frame? How would I move these back so they are flush with the frame before fixing them to the wall? They are not "loose" - if I bang against it the whole window frame shakes.

Sorry, posted too quickly. Added now

We have a crack running along the window/door frame by our front door. It has been covered with wood filler over the years, but seems to get progressively worse. I've scraped away the filler / paint to see if it's just the window board becoming loose, but that seems to have a tongue that goes...

It won't make much difference. I have the Wunda system and the heat is spread well.

Don't you need to comply with 2m minimum headroom above existing stairs/landing?

Our builders are proposing to use a contractor who uses spray-on coloured cork render, presumably: https://corksoluk.com/ Anyone got any experience / opinions on this? It's the first time I'd heard of it

So you refused to sign a PWA with your neighbour, insisting instead that they pay for an expensive surveyor, then refused to temporarily take down your fence so they could access the side, and now complain about unsightly block wall? Sounds like the consequences of your own actions to me

If your radiator was the same temperature at the inlet and outlet it wouldn't have given out any heat to the room!

Truss clip? https://www.toolstation.com/galvanised-truss-clip/p77044

We had exactly the same situation as you - part suspended, part old solid and new solid extension. We went with a low profile system (~20mm build up) throughout. As mentioned, it works differently to "conventional UFH", more like the fast response and low thermal inertia of a radiator, but it...

It would be the third floor, but the block would become four stories

Only took 3 months!

This is what I did with my sectional concrete garage and it worked perfectly

Don't let them use PVA. Honestly I think you should tell them to get someone else in who knows what they are doing...

Carpenter to box it in.

But you don't know if that would be the case for your quote or not. He's said it is (currently) 15%, if his material prices increased then maybe he would have reported it as 14%

As I said earlier, my builder accidentally sent me his internal costing sheet. His overheads were calculated by line item and summed up and converted to a total % value that was then distributed over each line item in the project. He didn't directly send me his breakdown but it would have been...

What exactly do you think overheads are? He is not pocketing that money, it is spent on costs of running the project.

Your house isn't rendered, so it would look pretty weird to have a rendered gable end... Hung tile on timber frame or brick (unrendered) would be allowed under the permitted development rules from my understanding.
