In Uk, Have You Had A Conservatory Built? Do You Recommend It?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

If exposed to afternoon sun, they become too hot on summer days, and are cold in winter. I had one, but replaced it with a brick-built extension; 20 years on, I am happy that I did.

Our Neighbour Has Built A Single Storey Conservatory With Windows That Look Into Our Kitchen Window?

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

We have a large kitchen diner with 2 windows, one of which looks directly into our neighbours kitchen (left side of the room) (so the blind is always closed), then one on the right side that looks into the garden. The neighbour on the right has just built a conservatory with normal windows all the way round.
Because the conservatory has been built about 3 or 4 foot from the 3foot fence (which belongs to the neighbour and has been erected in our land, not where it should have been), her windows look directly into our kitchen, into the only window that we could open the blinds on. The woman next door owns her house, we rent ours from the council and she hates us for it. She has told me that we are council scum because we don’t own our house, so we can’t speak to her about anything. She’s really nosey and is always looking in now.
Is there not a law about invasion of privacy? The council are not helpful, as usual, so I need to give them the facts! Trouble is, I don’t know them yet!

I Had A Conservatory Built By A Local Builder.?

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

While doing the job he covered over the drain from the kitchen sink and told me that the drain had been sealed.
Overall I found his work to be of a poor standard, now 18 months later we are getting foul odours coming from the covered over drain.
Is he liable?

Built A New Home In Greene County, Ny. Added A Pellet Stove To My Sun Room.?

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

I was already given a tax estimate based on the sq. footage alone. Will my sunroom now be considered a “room” because of the pellet stove although it’s basically an enclosed porch? Will my taxes go upwhen it is assesed (tax).

Just Had A New Conservatory Built With A Concrete Floor. Floor Was Uneven And They Then Used A Self-leveller.?

Friday, February 19th, 2010

..it is still uneven, which we were not aware of until the fitters had put down our laminate flooring. We are now being told by conservatory company that we should have waited 3-4 months before laying laminate floor. We were under the impression that once the concrete went grey it was dry and we were good to go. Who is right? We are trying to claim for the conservatory people to lift and then relay laminate, think this is why they are saying that we should have waited – when we placed order we told them we needed it up and running for Christmas – any help greatly appreciated.

I Have Just Got A Conservatory Built Onto My House.?

Friday, February 19th, 2010

It is in a corner, between the living room and a bedroom. All the windows in the house have vertigal blinds but I’m not sure if I want vertigal blinds on the conservatory. I thought roller blinds might be good as I’d be able to put plants on the windowsill then. Really not sure, would I need to stick to vertigal blinds to keep in with the rest of the house? Any advice you have would be most welcome, thanks.
