    What qualifications are required?

    I am looking for a builder to do some work like building an external wall and replace paving. What credentials should I ask to see? Should i need to check what insurance cover he has, in case he has an accident on my property? Is there anything else you would recommend I check? Regards Yvonne

    Change back door to a window

    Considering buying a house, but I will need to make the most out of the space in a small kitchen as there's not enough room for a washing machine. So i'm thinking of removing the back door to the garden, bricking it up halfway, then putting a new window in on that wall above the sink and washing machine. Leaving the plumbing in place. How much would that cost? I am also then considering changing a living room window into a single back door, to regain access to the back garden. How much would that cost? Thanks!

    During the construction of a house by a house building company, who would be my primary point of contact? Might this depend on the company in question etc.? I am only considering having a house built at this stage but I thought I’d ask.

    Party wall notice

    I’m in the process of getting a loft conversion and my neighbours are tenants. I’ve spoken with the tenants and they’re okay with the loft conversion. Should I still serve the landlord with a party wall notice and do landlords don’t care about stuff like this. I don’t fancy going down the hole of getting a party wall agreement and getting party wall surveyors involved. Any and all advice is appreciated.

    Tips for installing a stud wall

    Do you need to buy all the materials/supplies as part of a package or from the same provider for installing a stud wall or can you mix and match from different suppliers and still have it work okay? Can I buy these from different places and how di I know that they’re compatible? I’m just looking for ways to save on money for this project as best I can without compromising the safety and success of the installation. Thank you.
