How much would we be looking at to replace a flat roof over garden room with A) replacement flat roof B) pitched room with sky lights Room 2.84 x 2.72 m
We have a porch which has 2 windows alongside it.. Is it possible to remove/take one out and bricklayer/plaster it so I can make a tiny mud room space on that side instead and put some coat hangers? Our porch is really narrow tho. Thank you

I am looking for a builder to do some work like building an external wall and replace paving. What credentials should I ask to see? Should i need to check what insurance cover he has, in case he has an accident on my property? Is there anything else you would recommend I check? Regards Yvonne

I'd like an old brick shed demolishing carefully, so I can reuse or sell the bricks. How long should I expect this to take?
Considering buying a house, but I will need to make the most out of the space in a small kitchen as there's not enough room for a washing machine. So i'm thinking of removing the back door to the garden, bricking it up halfway, then putting a new window in on that wall above the sink and washing machine. Leaving the plumbing in place. How much would that cost? I am also then considering changing a living room window into a single back door, to regain access to the back garden. How much would that cost? Thanks!
Hi all, I'm considering buying a house with a large (5x5m) conservatory. The grand plan would be to convert the conservatory into a 'proper' extension - brick walls, tiled roof etc. I've read people on this forum saying "yes, if the foundations are adequate, check this by digging a pilot hole". My qu is - if the foundations are inadequate, can they be 'upgraded'? Is there much saving in converting a conservatory vs just building an extension from scratch? I'm looking to get a very rough feel for how much it would cost to convert a conservatory of this size to a 'proper extension'. Does not involve kitchen or bathroom work. Many thanks in advance.
I’m in the process of getting a loft conversion and my neighbours are tenants. I’ve spoken with the tenants and they’re okay with the loft conversion. Should I still serve the landlord with a party wall notice and do landlords don’t care about stuff like this. I don’t fancy going down the hole of getting a party wall agreement and getting party wall surveyors involved. Any and all advice is appreciated.
Do you need to buy all the materials/supplies as part of a package or from the same provider for installing a stud wall or can you mix and match from different suppliers and still have it work okay? Can I buy these from different places and how di I know that they’re compatible? I’m just looking for ways to save on money for this project as best I can without compromising the safety and success of the installation. Thank you.
