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.

I have been paving my front garden. I had noticed a couple of slabs were sinking a little so I dug them up and relaid I have left a gap of 300mm to the house with about 4 inches of small chippings. The paving is running away at at least 1/60. Also not much rain water falls in that area due to the over hang of about 300mm of the roof What I noticed after finishing is that the slabs although 300mm away are about 30mm higher than the bottom of the dpc. There doesn't appear to have been problems when the two large slabs were sloping in and that's been fixed. Perhaps I am overthrowing it but I just wanted to check

I have a small dormer extension on the roof of my terraced house and would like to extend it so it is flush with the front of the house. Might this be possible? And what would be the average cost?

Hello, We have had damp wall on the party wall after the neighbour has removed the chimney breasts. We have never had this issue before and noticed this after they had started work. After recommendations from the surveyor we have had our side of the chimney stack rendered where necessary and chimney pots fitted last year, however despite this the wall remains damp. The neighbour hasn't fixed his side and also has no soakers where our roof and their roof join plus the hips that have been placed there are very poorly rendered with holes showing through on our side of the roof. The surveyor told to use a lime based plaster system and no chemical injections as they believe water is coming down from the chimney stack. The house was built in 1929 , and we would like to know what does a lime based plaster system mean, what materials are required and what is involved. We are currently trying to dry out the walls but it's not working. Please can someone help.

Are there any practical differences between hiring a self-employed builder and a builder from a building company? Is there anything I should be aware of?

How much would building regulations approval cost for removing a chimney breast?
