    How much should I budget for an Architect and Structural engineer

    Hi, I'm looking to start my first building project where I plan to build thirty six garages in Glasgow on a vacant plot of land. The land is clean as in doesn't have any planning in place and so if anyone was able to estimate how much I should allow for the Architect and structural engineer that would be helpful. I've spoken to an architect but they don't want to estimate until they visit the site at a charge of £500 so before I start wanted to check what might be reasonable. Thanks

    Is there something wrong with the roof?

    We went to view a terraced house we're interested in buying and noticed a brown stain in the ceiling of the second bedroom. The condition of the roof from the outside looked suspect. Is it possible this brown stain is coming from the poor roof? It didn't appear damp but the ceiling was supposedly newly decorated so strange that this has appeared.

    Does new flashing need to be fitted?

    I have a flat roof extension to the rear which has lead flashing where the main house joins the roof of the extension. I am about to have 100mm of external insulation and render fitted. Should new flashing be provided on to the new render, or will the existing flashing still be ok.
