Rising damp in kitchen
Who would I need to come out to look at a damp patch in my kitchen? I'm guessing rising damp on a wall that used to be external, now part of extension. Would it be a builder or a damp specialist? Thanks

Project managing an extension
What are the benefits and disadvantages of project managing a house extension? How can I tell whether I should do this or leave it to a professional? Does it depend on the type of extension that’s planned?
House renovation
I am renovating a small 2 bed terrace house. There are numerous repairs required. These include roof and chimney repairs (stripping slates adding weather barrier and refitting), ground floor repair / renovation and damp tanking (floor joists rotted at front wall), kitchen door move (to existing window) / wall alteration (RSJ) and new fit units, bathroom new fit, new windows / doors (6 windows, front and rear door, 1 small velux), possible rewiring, yard wall demolition and rebuild, free standing garage demolition and removal. I am currently looking for quotes for works required. How much generally should I expect to pay? High and low estimate?? Cheers
Moving kitchen door
We would like to brick up our kitchen doorway and replace (and enlarge) a window opening, fitting small bi-folding doors (around 70'inch opening) on the same wall. Any ideas how much this might cost (minus the glazing)? Thanks.
Load bearing wall?
How can I tell if a wall is load bearing? I know that seeing 'if it sounds hollow' isn't necessarily enough!
HOLES IN CEMENT
Could you please advise me as to what product could be used to bung up the hole/s, in the cement, under the fascia, of my roof? Which would set hard, and be rat-proof. Rats have climbed up the drain pipe, to crawl into the hole, and entered the roof space. I need to deal with the problem quickly. Would I need scaffolding, as opposed to a ladder? It is in an awkward place. I have posted a job, but no one has got back to me, so I am considering doing it myself. Is there any kind of guard, that could be put around the drainpipe? To stop the rat/s from climbing up it.
Carport fitting preperation
How can you prepare the ground before having a carport fitted? If I do it myself will it mean less of a charge if hiring a contractor to install the actual carport? Or does it depend? What do you think should be the case usually? Thanks.
