Funny you say that. I sent the quote to a trusted roofer (who's not avail), and they also picked up on the high cost of the scaffold - they couldn't comment on the rest as they'd need to view in person. The scaffold is already on site so just needs adjusting - I'm pushing back on this cost...

I like your way of thinking. I've just checked and they're saying it will take around 6-8 days to complete the rebuild. Annoyingly, I'm having trouble getting anyone to quote as they're too busy / not available / won't even look at pics to get a ballpark fig. I did get one trusted builder who...

Parapet wall on Edwardian terraced property (London) needs to be urgently partially rebuilt as the mortar has blown and the bricks are loose / unsafe (this was discovered when builders were round to repair the cement render covering this wall). Builders have quoted £8k +vat (below) for partial...

I purchased a big ladder and finally got into the loft... this is what it looks like. Acceptable? or No?

the ducting is probably around 4-5 metres between the top of the cooker hood, and the vent tile in the roof

I recently had an Elica Slim 60 cooker hood installed, with external venting. On setting 1 it is very quiet, almost no suction. On setting 2 and setting 3 it sounds the same - very loud. It seems to be all or nothing. The ducting is 6 inches, as specified in the Elica installation guide. It's...
