Re: Basement ceiling height

Hi SW18er, it's a great question and one clearly to get right now before the primary basement contractor is instructed as the internal finished ceiling height is directly related to not only excavation costs, but also the structural integrity/construction method.

Re: Loft conversion cost. Help needed

Hi M2M, lots of variables as you know which drive the price, but typically £60k-£90k+VAT. I would also ask an estate agent locally for their view of what the value add would be on the price of your home (in a "normal" market) - the economics are usually pretty compelling (>2.5:1 return on ...

Re: Home alarm recommendations please - had enough of ADT!

Hi, although they are a big firm, we have used Banham's on a number of projects, mainly because of two reasons: they do really understand about security (physical and alarm points) and their response centre is always available and really helpful.
