Finding a multi-skilled builder
How do I find a good multi-skilled builder? Are there many or do most builders have a specialism these days?
Plans for loft conversion
What plans do I need for a dormer loft conversion. Truss roof, built in 2013, 3 bed semi detached, permitted development. I think an architect may be a bit overkill for what I am trying to achieve. I was thinking building regulation plans or can I just do a building notice? I assume I will also need a structural engineer to do the calcs.
How long does planning permission approval take?
I’ve read that it can take up to eight weeks for planning permission approval. How long does it actually take on average?
Getting builder quotes
Are all builder quotes free with no obligation as standard? Or do some job quotes have costs or conditions attached?

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?
