Extending an underpinned property
Am about to buy a 1930's semi and had planned to extend into the loft, however I have just discovered that the property was underpinned c.25 years ago. There doesn't appear to have been any further movement to the property since this work was done, but wasn't sure if this would have any knock-on implications for extending…

Extension quote
Hi all, Just had a builder round to quote for replacing the 'sunroom' (glorified lean-to .. UPVC job) at the rear of the house with a proper brick built extension.

What can I expect a boiler installer to do?
Maybe an odd one this. We're having our old combi replaced and also re-sited from an upstairs bathroom to a downstairs lobby. We had 4 quotes (all within £200 of each other, surely a record!) and went with a medium-sized firm, partly because they sent a detailed specification for the job. Now a week before the job is due…
