Building jobs in Northamptonshire

lime plastering, pointing and stone repair

  • Location: Northampton
  • Hired: R.@.C Plastering and Property maintenance.
  • Trade: Restoration & Refurbishment
Job Description

I have about 3.5sqm of plastering to do over 3 areas following water damage. I also have (half finished) repointing and stone repairs in a .5 to 1m stripe down the front of my cottage behind the downpipe. (No prizes for guessing what happened!) The stone repair resulted from a previous owner slapping cement all over and my trying to remove it. The stone is Northamptonshire ironstone.
I have some experience in working with lime and started the outside job myself - but I just don't have the time to complete it.

Cleaning, tanking and plastering a damp cellar

  • Location: Northampton
  • Hired: A & J PROPERTY CARE
  • Trade: Conversions - General
Job Description

I'm looking for someone to clean up a damp cellar and damp-proof it using a membrane (Newton or similar). A sump pump may be required and there is a sewer access which will need to be properly covered but also accessible and this could also be used for drainage.

It would also be good if you could do the sockets/lighting as the fuseboard is also in the cellar.
Once this is done, I require it plastering and left suitable for painting.

* Added 27th October, 2012 :
To clarify some enquiries:

It is a standard victorian terrace cellar with around 6ft from floor to ceiling and roughly 13x13ft. I am not looking for a full 'habitable room' conversion (i.e. buildings reg compliant) as there is not really enough space to make it into anything useful plus may be be issues with fire escape requirements (i.e. large enough window to escape through) as it goes straight onto the pavement. My main requirements are cleaning and tanking along with with electricity/heating so it can be used as an additional room.

There may be scope for digging down to improve the head-height - options for this would be useful.
