    Window measurements

    If a window surveyor takes measurements of a window before the brickwork is completed, but the company posts you a picture with the measurements for your builders approval who refuses to do that as he is not an expertise in windows, so you don’t show him the picture measurements, who is to blame if the window is too large and does not fit? If you have paid for installation,. Should the surveyor have taken his own final measurements once the brickwork was finished? Thank you

    Carpet fitted using glue?

    I'm supposed to be getting a carpet fitted in a few weeks. The fitter told me that he'll be using a glue and I'm worried about this. Should they be using glue at all? Will I be able to get it up if needed as there is pipework under the floor. Any advice before the installer comes would be great! Thanks in advance.

    Velux Loft conversion

    I am considering a loft conversion by going into the loft by putting the velux windows. This would mean the staircase will be installed by taking space from a small room. Can you share a typical cost of such a lft conversion in London? How long would it take? I am assuming for a semi-detached house, you don't need planning permission but only satisfy the building control and presumeably a party wall.
