I live in an old Victorian house. It’s a grade IIB listed property. I’ll be doing heritage-approved renovations. I’m looking for a builder that understands the requirements for these old homes as all building work needs to be sympathetic to the materials used in these houses (ie, lime mortar and plaster). Portland cement cannot be used as part of this project. Airplast is a good project that should be used instead, so a builder with knowledge of this product or similar is essential.

We would like to re-do the whole bathroom. Remove the bath and install a shower. replace the tiles on the wall and floor. Replace the toilet and basin and add a floating shelves under the basin. we would also like to re place the ceiling and lights. I want a rain shower as well as a adjustable hand shower. we currently have a shower in the bath but may need to move the pipes to accommodate the new design. We would also like to place the toilet in a different location in the bathroom to make it more spacious. We have an idea of the layout but we are open to suggestions. We would like to start mid March, but would like to work out the budget before then. our bathroom size: cm length by cm width.
My roof leaks every time that there is heavy rain. If there is continuous light rain, it will not leak. It leaks mostly on the Eastern side, but if the heavy rain continues for a while, then it leaks everywhere in the house. My husband keeps insisting that it is the wind blowing in rain, but even when there is no wind and only heavy rain it will leak.
