  • My roof has been altered without permission

    Hi. I live in a semi-detached house and share a roof with my neighbour. My neighbour has a new roof fitted and they replaced my tiles without asking me. They have used different tiles which appear to be a different colour than mine (orange). Again no-one has asked me about this. Also, there appears to be a massive gap now between the tiles on my roof and tiles on my next-door neighbours. What should I do??

    We will be knocking down the conservatory shortly but there is plaster on the outside walls on top of the original brickwork. How can I get this layer off to reveal the original bricks again without damaging them? Will I need to get a professional in?

    What do builders material costs include?

    Do builders add any sort of surplus to the price of materials when they supply them for a homeowner as part of a project or should the cost of materials be just that, based on what the cost is in store?
