    Stitching anchors Cintec or Helifix

    I've recently had a structural survey done on our house that we are in the process of buying. They have come back that there is "Vertical vee cracks in masonry panels at the corner of the property." They recommended introduction of stitching anchors, Cintec/Helifix, across the cracked sections of masonry. They have given us a rough estimate of between £7k-£10k for the work. Is that common estimation for that kind of work or am I being overcharged? I would also like to know how long this kind of work would take on a property? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I would just like to know I'm paying the right amount for the work.

    Converting a conservatory to an extension

    I have a conservatory with dwarf walls, I am looking to make this a full extension. I understand the footings may not be deep enough, what is the best way to get them to the correct depth? I am happy to take down the dwarf walls but don't really want to disturb the current flooring as its a finished floor and plumbing is installed so looking to keep extension same size as current conservatory just bricking up walls, adding bi folding doors and a solid roof. Thanks
