"We have 2 chimney breasts in the house we would like removing. We would like both chimney breasts removed ground and 1st floor, but the chimney stack to remain, so supported in the loft space. 1 chimney breast is on the connected wall, we are yet to get agreement from the neighbour, but don't think..." - STUART, OX11

"Remove chimney breast in living room of terraced house and potential removal of stack in room above. Not against party wall, but previous owners builder said that it was potentially structural so would need structural calcs and building reg approval also." - CHRIS, OX10 8

"Remove and brick up one door leading to the garden, and knock through a breeze block wall." - OX11

"Garage conversion into livingspace" - OX11

"Construct a concrete shed base" - OX14

"Repairing a wall above a window which has leaked during the recent storm." - JEN, OX11

What are the best ways to avoid problems when paying the Builder?

The most important thing is do avoid handing over cash or paying large sums in advance. Be wary of paying cash for a cheaper job, i.e. to avoid VAT, you may be going down a slippery slope of not doing things properly which may eventually mean your job is also not done properly.

Agree when you intend to pay, ideally after you are satisfied with the completed job. If it is a big job agree a schedule of staged payments which is fair to both parties.

To avoid bad tradespeople and to ensure you can find them should they not answer a mobile;

Get proper contact details and check them yourself
Check if the company is verified on the Companies House website
Get phone details, ideally a land line or 0800 number and check it
Get a physical office address

Before the job starts should I agree standards of quality and behaviour?

Get quotes in writing by email or in person if possible. Getting quotes online or by text is ok (make sure you accept the offer by replying). For large projects make a written agreement, schedule of works and snagging plans as part of a working document. Also;

Agree expected quality of workmanship and materials in advance
When will work start and when will project be finished, what happens if project over runs ?
How long is the guarantee on work and materials eg 12 months
Discuss onsite behaviour in advance (no smoking, swearing or using mobile phones for non-work purposes)
Agree that your Builder will remove all debris and rubbish and what level of tidying up you want after job
