Advantages of converting a basement to a room
What are the arguments for and against having my basement converted into a functional room?
cost of building a 12 square metre garage including waste removal
I would like to have a 12 square metre garage added to the side of my house. How much should I expect to pay for this if I am based in the general London area? I’d like to know how much it will cost in total between any supply, labour and waste removal costs, if possible. What sort of quotes should I expect? And as for the waste removal cost, is this something that the extension builders can be paid to take care of or will I need to hire another company?

Replacing patio doors with wall
Our house has a large kitchen extension. However, the patio doors on what used to be the external wall were never replaced. We now want to put up a wall on 1/3 of the door opening and replace with internal french doors on the remaining opening. Does it require any permissions/building regulations? Is the wall load bearing? Thanks

Conservatory conversion
We have a 3.5m x 3.5m conservatory on the back of our house, that is useless in both the summer & winter months. The footings are 600mm deep, with a double skin dwarf wall of 12 courses of brick (block inner skin). My question is, can I remove the conservatory frame, glass and poly carb roof etc, and build an insulated timber frame, clad in hardiplank (or similar), with a tiled roof. It would have one big window on the front, and French doors in the same location as they are now. The internal doors into the house are external grade uPVC French doors. We just want a space that can be used more of the year than the useless conservatory can at the moment!!
