    Gas supply going from main house to potential converted outhouse

    Hi, I am looking to buy a house soon and in the garden of this house is an outhouse which the previous owners had used as music studio. It has a working toilet in it. i am thinking converting this into a seperate residence/flat for hosting Airbnb or keep tradional tenants. It doesnt have a gas boiler or gas supply going in. The outhouse is located within 10 meters of the property itself With regards to gas, i think its probably better to have a seperate supply/meter to avoid complications. Im posting this to see what the process would be for this? can any qualified builder qualify for this or do i have to get British gas to dig up the garden/road to lay down the supply? Will the supply split at the point of where my gas meter is? (The outhouse has electricity from the house but we would need its own meter as well) Looking forward to hearing your thoughts

    Recourse on a leaking roof job?

    I had a leak coming from my roof, down behind the fascia and leaking into my house I had a roofer come out and he says that it might be a few slates and some repointing. He came out and suggested that repointing the ridge tiles would cost £180 including broken slates. I asked if it would fix the leak He said he couldnt guarentee it as the slates are in bad condition. I phoned someone for a second opinion, he didnt get back to coming around which left me with the first guy who came out He told me to call him if the leak still came through The roof the following two days was still leaking down the same area He said he will come and repoint ''some bricks'' Have i any recourse here?
