Neighbours replace shared roof
My neighbour has had her half of our semi detach house roof replaced. The builder has cut the tiles on the boundary rather than interlock them. Will this cause us roof problems in the future
Insulation of a loft conversion
With a loft conversion can I fix external wall insulation to the dormer of a loft conversion instead of hanging tiles? I’ll then render the polystyrene sheets to match the existing look of the house. Does this go against building regulations?
Bathroom move from downstairs to upstairs
I'm looking to move my bathroom from downstairs to upstairs. (It's an old house). The main building work, I guess, would be to cut a hole for, and install, a frosted-glass window, and cut a hole for a toilet and bath/sink waste pipes. I know where I want the bathroom and have started to stud out part of a bedroom to accommodate it. My question is, ballpark, how much to do the window and the waste holes, and what permissions would I need.

How long is underpinning guarantee for?
We’ve been told the house was underpinned years ago, but I’ve no idea what sort of guarantee normally comes with that or how long it should be for?
Lintel repair or more?
We're looking at buying the first floor maisonette. It is in a block of four. I'm concerned about the wide v shaped crack leading from ground floor window up to the sill of first floor window. Is this easily repairable and if so how much would it cost? There are hairline cracks in the bedroom to the back of the building - could this be related? Sorry - novice here!
Large fireplace opening
What can you do if a fireplace opening is too big? Is this easy to fix? How can you make a fireplace smaller? Cheers.
