Ive been vat registered for 30 years and still get caught out Its easier for a company to charge the vat rather than risk being caught out later I would suspect that the second company will be mindful of the first invoice surfacing later down the line and leaving them open to a vat charge on the labour. Hope this helps Gary

Yes it is a page inserted at the time of planning approval. The only thing that planners have asked for is details of render type and roof tile description ie grey riven edge. This came to light when I rang the planners regarding another issue and there was no one available so I was put through to the English Heritage who were listed as visited the site. But for that I wouldn't have noticed this one page.

No mention in planning Just a page inserted by English Heritage

We are in Fulwood

Sorry I should have explained better We are in a conservation area So one of the conditions was that the new build must be rendered to fit in with the two properties near by Which isn't a problem.Other than the new build having to be set back five mtrs from the line of the existing two properties they were the only two points that the planners raised prior to planning permission being granted.But on the day of the initial site visit a lady introduced herself as representing the British Heritage Society and here to make sure that any new build was in keeping with existing properties The irony is that the while we have being sorting all this out Persimmons have started a site across the road Red brick top to bottom and upvc Georgian style frames While Ive no wish to make waves before we get started. I don't want to purchase frames that could be rejected Thanks for the quick answers Gary

Hi my name is Gary I'm due to start our self build in Preston Lancs in about six weeks We intend building a 260 sq mtrs house Along with two double garages We have submitted drainage and building regs There were a few conditions Which hopefully we have addressed But what has unnerved me is that there is a couple of paragraphs from the Heritage people saying that they would prefer windows and facia a certain style and material Its the later that concerns me While I have a healthy budget for frames and doors Ive no desire to spend time repainting each year The passed planning permission states white upvc I spoke to Heritage and told them I intended using a white wood grained sash type frame The reiterated there recommendation and stated that they would prefer a hardwood PAITED WHITE The question I am asking How enforceable is there recommendation Or is it simply what they would prefer Ps Id just found ebuild six months ago when We had started to purchase our plot This site is a great replacement I hope to have plenty of input over the coming months Regards Gary

Unfortunately old sand lime plaster doesn't last forever The sheer thickness causes it to go hollow in places If it is so loose enough that you can get a scraper behind it to remove. Then the whole wall will have to be knocked off Don't forget to spray a salt inhibitor on the areas to be patched or replaced
