    In terms of planning permission, does replacing the tiles count as a new roof? Or is it when the whole thing is redone?

    Painted living room window

    My husband and I have a very out there idea for our living room window. We want to have one way glass window installed which is then painted over on the front to look like the inside of a living room. Is this possible or will the paint totally block sunlight getting in? We don't mind if we can't see much outside, we just want sunlight to come in. Is this at all possible or safe? Would it ever get planning approval?

    Stitching anchors Cintec or Helifix

    I've recently had a structural survey done on our house that we are in the process of buying. They have come back that there is "Vertical vee cracks in masonry panels at the corner of the property." They recommended introduction of stitching anchors, Cintec/Helifix, across the cracked sections of masonry. They have given us a rough estimate of between £7k-£10k for the work. Is that common estimation for that kind of work or am I being overcharged? I would also like to know how long this kind of work would take on a property? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I would just like to know I'm paying the right amount for the work.
