Damaged concrete lintel replacement
The concrete lintel above a ground floor door/window is cracked and starting to look dangerous, how much would this cost to get replaced?The opening the lintel covers is 6ft or 183cm, a window and door together, its visible from the outside if that makes a difference as i've seen some that are hidden by bricks, this one is not.
Small single storey extension cost estimate
We are planning a small single storey extension, approximately 1m X 4m, this will be an expansion to our current kitchen area and will involve knocking through the wall into the kitchen and adding an RSJ (unsure if timber or steel). The roof will be a slopped roof joining onto the vertical wall that is already in-place. There would be a single small sky light in the roof. We are based in the Midlands and the ground is a sandy ground, apparently better for building and foundations. What would be a ball park figure for the cost the building work, plastering and wiring together?
What trade would I need for this?
Hi all, I'm half way through a home insurance claim for water damage from an upstairs shower. The leaks have been fixed and the structure is now dry. As part of the process the home insurance company outsourced the leak detection and drying out to a company who essentially stripped the ceiling of a bedroom (i.e. no ceiling at all) and removed water damaged insulation. What needs to happen now is someone to put new insulation back, get ceiling plaster board in and decorate I assume. What trades would do this? I'm totally lost and the insurer isn't helping either.
Refurbishing Stairs
