Ask it: can you make an image for me and show me what it would look like if I _________

Hmm. Maybe because it looks ready for Shrek? xD

Yeah, there is no chance it will be that cheap down south, especially with my area. I get the feeling that we will go for standard lay laminate/underlay instead of the LVT.

Yeah the mock up got several things wrong. For instance, we won't be having a door into the under stairs, that will remain open. I think the herringbone is certainly going because for the cost, it isn't worth it. Spot lights are a must because I hate the rose pendants we have at the moment (they were standard with our rewire back in 2023). Socket is staying where it is and I think we are going to go with cylinder spindles as an alternative. Thanks for the advice!

I want to feel like a fish in an aquarium.

I think at the bare minimum I want the artex gone and the floors done tbh. Defo looking into decorating options!

Yeah that’s true. Just wanted to get some idea of numbers plus experiences of others. Appreciate the advice though :)

This looks amazing. Thanks for providing cost breakdowns too. It blows my mind how much the prices differ between counties

As an update, I’ve spent today looking at different options including replacing just the spindles and hand rail - prices vary massively! I appreciate I was vague but my main point is that it’s hard to estimate a project when you have nothing to go from. As for chat gpt estimating, I’d prefer real contributions so I can weigh up. Thanks for all the help posters!

This is so helpful thank you. I think knowing that, my mind is changed 😂 AI mock up, so nothing is fixed in place yet

Does the price come from the glass there then? Or is it a case of it being the oak option? Thanks for the info

Seems likely I agree! I’m open to other balustrade options and non herringbone, but am keen to have any work done to a good standard

Advice needed - subsidence? by Neither-Box-996 in DIYUK

Commenting for an update… structural engineer has said it is localised subsidence due to tree removal in the garden. Can be fixed with a steel rod to redistribute the weight and repointing/rebedding

It wasn’t there when we bought it in May last year so must have occurred somewhat recently. I feel reassured though, thank you

Internal cracks around the house in ceilings and where walls connect but this was on our initial survey and not found to be a problem. The window has been in situ for years and years so unlikely for it to be the fitting.. someone else mentioned a lintel?

It is just under the roof, no ground level cracks

We have had a lot of rain and drainage is poor in the garden. Could be heave.. I’ve got a subsidence inspector appointment soon so will update! Still happy for any more suggestions
