We are planning a small single storey extension, approximately 1m X 4m, this will be an expansion to our current kitchen area and will involve knocking through the wall into the kitchen and adding an RSJ (unsure if timber or steel). The roof will be a slopped roof joining onto the vertical wall that is already in-place. There would be a single small sky light in the roof. We are based in the Midlands and the ground is a sandy ground, apparently better for building and foundations. What would be a ball park figure for the cost the building work, plastering and wiring together?
How long does it generally take to unblock drains?

In the case of a wooden floor, is it necessary to leave an expansion gap? Does it depend on the context/floor?
Just bought a house which I expect to complete on in 8-12 weeks. Want to find and have a general builder start work on full renovations day 1 of completion while the property can remain empty. However, I’m unable to access the property. I have detailed measurements and a few videos, and the narrative here is it is literally a start again from scratch job, ie full rewire, new heating system, kitchen, reskim, etc. Can I reasonably engage builders with a scope of works, floor plan, and pics and get sensible ballparks to start shortlisting and awarding work with some understandable caveats? Or will they all say they need to see it first? Thanks
I live mid terrace my neighbours have had a new roof. The tiles are different to ours. When the scaffolding came down there is a uneven gap from ridge to gutter. My side has nothing to keep the tiles lifting and I’m worried about rain and the wind. What can I do

Hello all, I am looking into putting up shelves in some shallow alcoves (approximately a metre wide). They are located close to my living room fireplace. Would it be sufficient to use floating shelves or would I need brackets? I intend to use these as bookshelves, so there will be some weight to them. Advice on this would be brilliant!
How much would it cost to put 2 wooden posts into the ground? This is for a banner for advertisement for our nursery, we currently do have them but they need to be moved as the new banner is bigger.
