Water dripping in above window
Ive just noticed water leaking in above my downstairs window. Its dripping through the plaster just below where the lintel would be. Has only just started on a day with heavy rain. Is this a job for builder or a window fitter or am i best calling another trade?
white patches on brickwork
Do white patches on outside brickwork of house mean that water is getting in behind bricks and making walls damp? Could it be guttering is not aligned properly or not deep enough under roof tiles to take water into down ? The wall above bedroom window has shown water/condensation running down and black mould around window frame has recently been removed. Roof also been dripping water so could be leak or very bad condensation. Sound advice much appreciated on what to do next. Thank you.

Water tight external rendering options
Water ingress only when sustained heavy rain driving into south facing wall.

Reconfiguring an extension
Hi, I am in the process of buying a house. The house has been extended, and there is a wall running through vertically through this extension (towards back of house). We are looking to knock out the majority of this wall (imagining need structural engineer, potentially beam installed) We would then be looking at adding in two small rooms (a downstairs small WC and small utility) and add a new kitchen into this. On top of this we will likely need to replace flooring. Given the reconfiguration I also could assume we would need to work with an electrician to ensure we have new sockets in the right places etc. The two rooms to knock through into each other are approx 7.5m x 3.4m & 5.8m x 2.2m Has anyone encountered similar jobs and know a rough ballpark on what I can expect cost wise & anything I haven’t considered? Thanks in advance
