  • Planning permission for a log cabin

    Do I need planning permission to have a log cabin constructed? And if so, what is involved in the process? Does permitted development depend on factors such as the scale and type of log cabin? Thanks for your time.

    Judging Hip Ridges Health Status

    hello , I think two my hip/ridge tiles has perished and need replacing. They have cracked half inch down or so. It is solidly embedded it seems. But others hip/ridge tiles, the top layer is only weathered and flaky but underlying ridge/hip is solidly embedded and loose. I'm planning to put a new roof in few years time and hence my question was which hip/ridges should be replaced now and which ones I can defer if at all I can defer. How do you decide which ones to alter as disturbing ridge/hip will break corner cemented underlying tiles. I have scaffolding in place. Guys are coming are giving various contradictary advise. Also How do I select a competent roofer over cow boys - as every one claims they can do the work. Many Thanks in Advance.
