  • Dry verge roof system without permission

    Hi. Should my neighbour have consulted with me over a roof issue. They had a dry verge system installed on the roof ridge that joins our house. Aside from not informing us the job seems a little less than satisfactory as the ridge is now not flat. Also some mortar on our side is still showing

    New room, New kitchen

    Hi, I've asked similar before but I need to describe it better. I would like to know a rough estimate in time & money, that it would be to relocate the kitchen from the back of the house into the current living room at the front of the house. Plumbing for a sink, washing machine & dishwasher are required. Electric sockets, electric cooker socket & installed & new lighting. The carcasses of the cupboards that are salvageable can be re-used but would like new worktops & cupboard doors. A radiator needs removing & tiles for the wall space between the worktop & top cupboards would be needed. Obviously I know it'd be an estimate without exact measurements for pricing. There are no walls to knock down, nor is it a listed building. There is a manhole out the front of the house . The boiler can stay where it is. It's a 3bed semi-detached house & basically want to swap the rooms to meet our needs. Appreciate your time answering my question, thank you.

    Heavy toilet cistern

    I have a mid rise (Very heavy) cistern that needs to be fitted to a tiled plaster boarded wall. There are no battens to fix it to where it needs to go and the wall behind that is very old disintegrating brick, so I was wondering what sort of weight would be safe to hang to the wall and what fixings would be best If it it possible to do? Many thanks.
