  • Post-COVID contractor prices

    In your opinion, when covid is over (hopefully sometime next year), how might this affect contractor prices? Will there be a sudden surge in builder charges as more work is available and they try to make up for a bad financial year? Am I better off taking precautions and having work done before the pandemic is over? Any thoughts on this? I want to have an extension built so it’s going to be a costly project and this thought popped into my head. Thought I’d try and get in touch with a professional.

    Do I need a Landscaper or a Carpenter?

    I am disabled and need to have two raised beds put in on level ground. DIY is beyond me. Should I be looking for a landscape gardener or a carpenter for this job? And is it too small to interest a tradesperson? Thank you.

    Chimney stack removal

    Can I conduct repairs and remove both my tall chimneys stacks on my roof at the end on my roof (2 storey detached house) without having to gain access to my neighbours property and erecting scaffolding over my neighbours adjacent flat garage roof which is structurally weak? Can I carry out my 2 chimney removals safely by erecting scaffolding solely on my side of my property?

    Ground floor extension leaking roof

    We have a leak in our ground floor extension roof. It started with the paint cracking when it rained hard, but now it's got much worse and water is slowly dripping through the cracks that are growing. It's a flat roof and i can't see where it could be coming through. My question may be a silly one, but would i need a roofer or a specialist builder of some sort for this kind of work? We need to work out where the leak is coming from first, and then fix it!
