Hi Can I just jump on this convo , our house is 3 storeys the plans say fire doors for second and top floor but ground floor doesn't is this correct ?

have you got their details please ? Thanks

Thanks I will contact them for a quote

Hi We need to do an air test to get the house signed off, any recommendations who to use we are based in Wigan , any idea of cost and if it fails whats the situation ? Thanks in advance

Thanks NOD did you fit them yourself and how long did it take for manufacture? Thanks ToughButterCup will have a look at stairbox too just need to get something in place a bit worried about the timescale .

Thats fab and more or less what we are looking for , did you shop around , was it expensive ?

Thanks I didn't realise they did staircases thought they only sold the components I will pay them a visit. Do you know any decent kitchen design/installations in this area too? Been to B &Q too basic, Wren didnt have quite what I was after , waiting for Howdens to come back to us but they did price utility room which was pricey and that was for their budget range .

HI can anyone recommend a oak staircase manufacturer that covers north west and doesn't cost a small fortune please ?

We have the Titan one from screwfix was only about £40 quid wet and dry and its very powerful love it

So a quite a few months on and I still haven't taken the plunge had a new quote for £2800 with Protek which includes 2 visits the roof is on now , I am getting the impression it is a waste of money but you don;t know what is round the corner we don't intend to move in the next 10 years but you never know, if retrospective is only a few hundred quid more I am tempted to take the risk and leave it , one of my concerns is if there is a problem with the structure etc but I am assuming once complete a standard building insurance policy will cover any defects etc is this correct? I'm really struggling to part with my money on this one as you have probably guessed, plus someone else has mentioned about an extra charge for CDM .

it took 2 days with the telehandler they fitted the big ones as they went up but then got the rest up to the following day, to be honest half a day was taken up organising etc the can't wait to get the scaffold down just waiting for them to collect it

Hi yes it was a replacement dwelling

Hi can anyone recommend a where I can get a good deal on 120mm celotex insulation for the roof please ?
