    Do we need an architect or structural engineer for a new extension?

    Hi We are hoping to have an extension built onto our house. We have been recommended a local architect to speak to before getting any builder quotes, but we have also been told that a structural engineer might be all we need rather than an architect. Do we need an architect specifically or will a structural engineer be able to handle it with a hired builder to complete the work? Or even, could a builder do the job of all three?

    Patio grout very yellow

    We’ve had a beautiful patio laid by a professional. Pale grey mottled granite style slabs. The gaps were filled with a dry sand/cement mix. Whilst it was being done I queried the colour as it was very yellow, but was assured it would turn grey. A month on, it’s still yellow. It cost a fortune and I’m gutted. The yellow mix has also bled around the edges oF the tiles, obviously wouldn’t have been noticeable if it had dried grey. What has gone wrong and how can it be fixed?
