I was going to ask what might be the conditions that would allow a local council to grant planning permission that might lead to the knocking down of a potentially listable structure but then I looked at the site plan drawn up for the project and there's no outhouse / air raid shelter marked on it. Maybe the council didn't know it was still there? Who knows.
-
Sadly I cannot as they returned with a small excavator on Monday and used it to knock it all down.
-
Yes all the above are the case. Kids next door, concern about our property. That's reason enough.
-
It'll probably turn out to have been of special architectural interest. Gone now.
-
Unfortunately not. The professional arrived this morning with a Kubolo mini JCB and pulled it down. Nearly tipping his Venice over in the process a couple of times. At least it's not going to fall on our fence but its a shame that a bit of mysterious local architecture has gone and no one is any the wiser as to what it was.

Fair enough but if you had seen the series of total balls ups these cowboys have inflicted on this building project and you lived beside it you'd want to keep an eye on every move they make.

It looks tremendously strong. You could just about stand up in it. I wonder what it was built for? Is it a diy bomb shelter?
-
Nope its coming down and being replaced by "a new outhouse". Those walls are really thick. Looks like a nuclear bomb shelter.
-
The houses here are 1930s built but is that outhouse younger? It's pretty heavy duty for a space the size of an outside loo.

Hi my neighbours builder has knocked down one wall of their brick and concrete slab outhouse and retired for the weekend. This can't be safe can it?

Are British Gas boiler repairs guaranteed?
DaveAF replied to DaveAF's topic in Boilers & Hot Water Tanks
After 4 visits, 4 bits replaced and the water leak they caused now repaired, everything is working. Thank heavens I had the boiler insurance. -
Hi Just wondering if repairs done by British Gas to my combi boiler come with a guarantee? Had it serviced under contract and some parts replaced 4 weeks ago but gradually the old problem of no hot water downstairs has returned. We were told at the time it was probably a diverter valve problem which the engineer replaced. Central heating upstairs and downstairs is fine but sink and shower hot water has recently become very slow to heat and often goes cold after a minute or two. The system pressure is down to below the safe minimum level today so we had to turn it off. I haven't noticed any leaks anywhere. A British Gas engineer is booked to come tomorrow and as there's an excess to pay on repairs with our service cover I'm wondering if it's likely that they will waive it because of the previous repairs not having been successful? All thoughts welcome. Thanks David

Shouldn't the roofers have top coated the glass fibre roof by now?
DaveAF replied to DaveAF's topic in Flat Roofs
Oddly enough after they repaired a minor leak yesterday morning they finally topcoated the roof. No extra layers of matting though, just a paint over with the topcoat.
