    Reducing size of window & poly roof panels on P-shaped conservatory

    Hi, I was wondering if it's doable, and how much it would cost to reduce the size of a second-hand P-shaped conservatory on one side by only 1 foot (by possibly taking out one window panel width and uPVC/poly-carb roof panels to match and adjusting it accordingly to match up with the p side. It's a complicated shape as it is a slightly L-shaped as it wraps around the side of my driveway. But it only needs reducing by a foot on that side to fit, and it was suggested as a possible solution?. But I would value your professional opinion as to whether or not it would be worth the hassle and/or expense? Also the cost of a steel base rather than concrete. It's a large area, 11' x 10 & 14 x 10. It's the 14 x 10 that wraps around down the side, but from the house wall it measures 8' 7", that would need reducing to 7' 5" as the width of my driveway is max 7' 10" but I have 5" soakaway on that side. Plus it would be connecting my neighbours boundary wall! Thank you in advance Y

    Replace ceiling vs Skim Over

    Hi - looking for some advice/thoughts. We're in the process of moving into a new home. In two of the rooms is a textured/dappled finish on the ceiling. Is it better to take off this finish completely and then put up new plasterboard and skim over? Or, is it possible to just skim over the current textured finish? Depending on what you think is the best approach how much do you think it would cost for this to be done in two rooms? Room 1 = 3.96m x 3.51m Room 2 = 2.51m x 1.85m Is this a big job? Does it take long to complete? Thanks in advance.
