Garden shed flooring
what would you suggest to lay a shed floor on. Can you also allow for a soak away to stop any ingress of water into the new shed, currently happening. Your advice would be very much appreciated. Many thanks Nina
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!!
Kitchen floor joists to check

Chimney breast removal
What permissions and documents do I need for a Chimney breast removal in a first floor bedroom? The chimney breast is on a shared wall of a 1930s semi-detached house. The downstairs living room chimney breast has already been removed - should there be a certificate for how structurally sound this removal was when it was removed? (We are buying this house)
Can I put a toilet on the front wall of my house?
I am hoping to move around some of the rooms in a house I just bought, and I wanted to move the bathroom to the front of the house. If the toilet is on the same wall as my front door, will I need a waste pipe at the front of my house? I’m hoping there are other options!

Insulation of a loft conversion
With a loft conversion can I fix external wall insulation to the dormer of a loft conversion instead of hanging tiles? I’ll then render the polystyrene sheets to match the existing look of the house. Does this go against building regulations?
