Job Description

I have an unusual space at the side of my flat, about 12' x 12'. Technically a sotrage room, but has loft style features and is not floored. Room and timber is in great order, looking to floor and convert properly. Some additional small other works to be tagged on throughout the flat.

Job Description

We are looking to convert our downstairs layout to open plan. There are several aspects to the job.

The removal of a non load bearing partition wall. This also includes removing some existing door frames. As we live in a house that is spread over 3 floors (incl loft conversion) we are under the understanding that we will require approval from building control and the possible installation of a new door. We will require the contractor to take this on on our behalf.

Plumbing. Existing CH and Hot and Cold water run upstairs through the partition wall that is to be removed, to where the immersion used to be. We have a reasonably new combi boiler in the kitchen and require all plumbing going up stairs to be rerouted. There is a reasonably easy route near the boiler by the waste pipe. We also need the boiler moved ½ a meter on the same wall to make room for cabinets. We are also reconfiguring the kitchen and require the plumbing for the washing machine and sink to be relocated.

Electrical. As we are reconfiguring our kitchen, sockets need to be moved and light switches in the wall to be removed need to be relocated. We require some works on the ceiling lighting.

Initially we will be relocating existing kitchen hardware to the new configuration however shortly after we will be installing an Ikea kitchen. We intend to do this work ourselves however you are also welcome to quote for this.

Job Description

Hi Hugo, you have some cracking reviews here so wanted to get in touch.

If so, we want to push through a kitchen wall to open up a "dead" room into one area - and fit a new kitchen with an "island" - in a new house we have just bought.

The wall is structural, will need a steel beam/RSJ (know this already) and the distance is 350cm-ish between the "pillars" where it would be concreted in.

Height - not measured but is a reasonable height ceiling (house is period, circa. 1906).

We'd like an all in quote - actually prefer a visit to see/chat ASAP as we want to get on with this - incl. VAT, labour etc. No surprises!

We will actually need quite a bit done in the house (we are certainly not loaded so need quality and cost-effective, which all your reviews point to) so we hope to find a good builder we can trust and then all the work can be done. Kitchen first.

Next up (to be discussed separately, no quote this second!) is painting/decorating (It is a three bed house over two floors with extension/wood conservatory so maybe 8-9 rooms and hallway total), some lovely wooden floors need a sand/re-stain/varnish, we'll need a bit of carpet to put over the stairs, upstairs landing and one room.

And we are looking to convert a bad addition of a small extension cubicle into a utility room/downstairs toilet.

Wanted to give a full picture as there could be a nice bundle of work - but it is all predicated on the kitchen wall push-through first.

Love to hear from you ASAP - I'm keen to move on this so if you had availability for a visit this week one night or anytime over the weekend that would be cracking.

Job Description

We currently have a cellar that we would like converted into a spare room. The job would require stripping out any old pipes and cabling that is no longer required or dead. There are a number of pipes and cabling that will will need to remain such as central heating system, gas and so on. The cellar is not overly damp but I assume some kind of tanking treatment is probably the best way forward. Walls then to be plastboarded or rendered and plastered over for smooth finish. Ome issue with the cellar is headroom clearance, would like to discuss possible ways of lowering existing concrete floor if at all possible. There is an existing coal shoot that we would like to keep and install window in it's place. Site visit recomended to discuss in more detail.

Job Description

We need a stud wall built between the living room and spare room / nursery. The dimensions are 3m wide x 2.40 tall. As this is going to be a nursery soundproofing needs to be incorporated as well, and on one side some shelves, if possible. At the moment the two rooms are separated by sliding doors, these can be pulled back, i.e. don't have to be removed and won't be in the way.

Job Description

Am not sure what category this comes under. I was told I needed a carpenter by one builder, but obviously needs someone who knows about roofs and structural support so I've put it under conversions - if you know someone suitable please let me know.

The Job:

House is a traditional terrace with roof pearlings supported by proud brick end in party walls. One brick has fractured and so the pearling is in danger of slipping from its support.

I need someone who can re-instate the support according to building regs.
