I think this is 5w a meter led strip warm white, but a relatively small room and white ceilings

Strip led might do it, but depends how far up you want the light to wash

Look at the website Front to back designs, architectural designers

If you are have the chance then dab and frame fix hardie backer board

Slates have to have two nails per slate (or use a hook system. Plain tiles are nailed every fifth course, massive saving in time/labour. Also those tiles should be cheaper than slates

I think you can reasonably work out the amount of tiles etc taking into account you will need a big headlap with such a shallow pitch. Once you have an idea of costs of materials you can decide which finish you prefer. I think you can guess that the labour of slating a roof is a lot more than say corrugated cement sheets, but would you really like to look out of the window and see them every day?

I used aluminium spreader plates. They seem to do the job nicely

Have you taken a gutter bracket off? I had a similar problem identifying some guttering and with no marking apparent, only on a bracket

You could spend a lot of money trying different gutter systems. Far easier to remove one piece and find out which make it is. Maybe freeflow? https://plasticsuppliesdirect.co.uk/freeflow-guttering/freeflow-ogee-gutter.html

Or buy reclaimed tikes to match your original

2.5" synthetic brush. Hold it sideways. Watch some YouTube etcvideos of cutting in. Masking tape is rarely the answer

When roofers are removing the slates they will be scrap. If they take care to remove carefully it could be twice the labour, so twice the cost! The same with battens. If it is going to be a habitable room after the work is done then it is well worth doing it now for piece of mind, because a water damaged room is a lot more costly to repair than a water damaged loft

Put down lino or lvt

Surely there's a dpm below the concrete anyway?

Use hooks rather than eyelet or tab top curtains. The cheap hooks will break before the brackets are pulled from the wall. The short term tarzan phase will pass!

Cheaper to build a square block 50sqm 3 storey house than a square block 150sqm bungalow, even if you have to put in extra future proofing stair lifts etc

In this plan of a duplex apartment the kitchen is 10'8" x 9'10" With the lounge/dining area 22'1"x13'3" but in order to maximize the rental income we built a stud wall partitioning off the area with a balcony as a bedroom and adding a shower into the wc. The door now goes directly in to the kitchen. The area is small, but workable, having said that I wouldn't want it in my own home that I was building!

To be honest it doesn't look like a great starting plan to begin with. Three corridors? Eight external doors? I would design the kitchen you want/need first. Presumably you know what size you currently have and what needs to be added to make it more useful etc. Add in other restrictions like it must have a breakfast bar/island etc Once you have that dimension you can move on to dining area, for instance I want to accommodate a 2400 table, but it is fairly long and narrow so could live with 3600 x 2300, so long as it is not also a thoroughfare etc.

If it looked good for a couple of days I suspect it is damage done by either a delivery lorry, heavy pallet etc

Usually insulate around flues etc with vermiculite

You might expect it to be redone, but you have no leverage and a more thorough inspection taken place before handing over the cash

Single storey side is permitted development Garage roof would not be permitted development. It would have needed permission to be built in 1980 Single storey rear extension would definitely not be permitted Highly likely that you would get planning for these unless listed or in a conservation area

It can work well

With the bridge unit off the wall fit two battens to pack out to the correct depth at the back. Position where you want it, screw it into adjacent cabinets then sds drill through the back of the cabinets, through the batten and concrete screw to the (hopefully brick/block) wall, fit screw cap if needed

Your local decorator centre trade paint will be the best bet. Dulux, crown or Johnson, or independent like Brewers etc but you need a proper trade account to get a good price. Crown own Farrow and Ball so might be a good choice if you want a lot of their colours as they have the recipe on computer so can match it exactly
