Hi, we are in the process of purchasing a Victorian property and survey has noted the incomplete fire barrier issue with the party wall in the attic. Question is: is it best to build a fire wall etc with blocks or look at fire curtain type product? Also average costs for install etc of these options. Any advice appreciated

We are buying a property in the kitchen is the top of the last few runs of the stairs its boxed off can anyone tell me if we can have the box removed and then made so we get extra room under it for a fridge freezer? and what fire regs we may need to meet

Can a competent builder or building team put in a steel support without the need for a structural engineer?

I want to build a wooden/composite garage/shed 20' x 14' in my garden but having dug a trial hole the soil is mainly peat and goes down around 7' to 8' in depth. This peat was removed and replaced with stone when the house was built but this not a practical or cost-effective route to take for the garage. Is a screw pile the best way to go?

I have had a new garage built 9mx3m and need the floor raising 50-80mmit already has a sub base of about 100mm What would be the best way to do it and approx cost?"

Hi, I am looking to buy a house soon and in the garden of this house is an outhouse which the previous owners had used as music studio. It has a working toilet in it. i am thinking converting this into a seperate residence/flat for hosting Airbnb or keep tradional tenants. It doesnt have a gas boiler or gas supply going in. The outhouse is located within 10 meters of the property itself With regards to gas, i think its probably better to have a seperate supply/meter to avoid complications. Im posting this to see what the process would be for this? can any qualified builder qualify for this or do i have to get British gas to dig up the garden/road to lay down the supply? Will the supply split at the point of where my gas meter is? (The outhouse has electricity from the house but we would need its own meter as well) Looking forward to hearing your thoughts

I had a leak coming from my roof, down behind the fascia and leaking into my house I had a roofer come out and he says that it might be a few slates and some repointing. He came out and suggested that repointing the ridge tiles would cost £180 including broken slates. I asked if it would fix the leak He said he couldnt guarentee it as the slates are in bad condition. I phoned someone for a second opinion, he didnt get back to coming around which left me with the first guy who came out He told me to call him if the leak still came through The roof the following two days was still leaking down the same area He said he will come and repoint ''some bricks'' Have i any recourse here?

Hello Everyone, I'm thinking of converting an upstairs bathroom (tiled walls and floor) to a bedroom. Whilst doing this, I am also thinking of adding a small ensuite + toilet in the upstairs (next to the new converted bedroom). The upstairs is currently two big bedrooms and a decent sized bathroom; at the end of the project, it'll be two big bedrooms, one small bedroom and one small ensuite. There's a big bathroom on the ground floor. Is this possible?
