Job Description

Our garage has previously been converted to an indoor room, we would like to put up a stud partition partway across it. This would also involve taking away a shower from our downstairs cloakroom, and relocating the door to that bathoroom.
One extra door frame to be supplied, we already have the door itself.

Replace a support lintel above patio doors

  • Location: Manchester
  • Hired: QUALITY RELIABLE BUILDING SERVICES LTD
  • Trade: Conversions - General
Job Description

I have recently had external insulation started on my concrete house. The lip was removed from my sliding patio doors which were replaced 3 years ago. These patio doors were put in around 23 years ago and replaced a window. A large crack in the concrete was discovered across the top of the doors and I have been informed it could be structurally dangerous and the support Lintel needs to be replaced. The insulation company will not proceed until this is done.

Move internal door/knock down wall and move radiator

  • Location: High Peak
  • Hired: NW Construction
  • Trade: Conversions - General
Job Description

The wall affected is probably a load-bearer and is an internal wall - hall to kitchen. The wall houses 1 plug socket and a power source to the boiler. We would like 3 quotes and what we decide to do depends on the price.

-to move the door in the wall 1.5 metres to one side (would mean moving plug socket and power source to boiler). This might involve fitting a sliding door also.
-knock down that wall entirely and relocate the plug socket and boiler power source
-to move a radiator 2 metres and fit an upright towel heater-style in kitchen (on a wall unaffected by above).

No planning permission needed but a building notice procedure is needed - have spoken to local assessor and this is in progress.

So the skills needed would be moving a door/knocking down wall, electrician, plasterer, plumber.

Cheers!

Knock through kitchen wall to create open plan

  • Location: Stockport
  • Hired: l.mcguinness building and joinery
  • Trade: Conversions - General
Job Description

3 bed house with 2 receptions.
We want the kitchen wall knocked through to creat an open plan living space. The dividing wall is a structural wall (chimney) so RSJ's will be required to provide support. We were told (by structural engineer) it will need to beams (either side of breast) with columns built on to remaining walls to create further support for beams. As the living room floor is wooden the 'columns' will need to be built from the foundations.

We would like a quote for the labour & an estimate for parts.

Thanks
