We've just had a flat roof on our new extension and it came with a 15 year warranty and expected life span of 30 years. The one on our garage is 35 years old this year and no signs in leaking or issues.

I've got a 2017 V8 convertible Mustang. I do about 3k a year, all very short journeys and it's my daily driver. It's used for a few miles almost every day and I rely on it for work and family and hasn't let me down, it gets driven in rain, 40 degree heat and snow. My 3 and 5 year old do fit in...

Thanks both, exactly what I was after!

Hi all, I've got an Asus A520-M motherboard and need a low profile GPU for 3 or potentially 4 monitors. Workflow will be purely office based work so no gaming, mining, rendering or video editing. Performance really isn't important, it just needs to be able to drive 3 or potentially 4 monitors -...

I think the difference between 45dB and 55dB is roughly double - it's a scale so every 10dB is a doubling of sound volume.

The kitchen unit is covering about 35sqm but with no doors to shut off to the upstairs so that feels fine. The bedroom is about 22sqm and the office is about 18sqm so I think all 3 quotes are probably okay for these areas.

Thanks, that's really helpful. So from everything you've said, Q3 looks to be a winner. It's Daikin which seems to be well recommended, it's within a £100 of the cheapest Mitsubishi quote and it has the best / biggest units / parts. I understand now that the warranty is less as the installer...

We looked at having 2 units but the only real location that's out of the way is where we're placing the unit now. If we place an outdoor unit near to where the kitchen unit is going then it'll ruin the look of our new patio and garden. I'm gong to go with quote 3 as it seems fine in terms of...

We're in Surrey so a very expensive area and the kitchen unit is about 15m away from the outdoor unit (bedroom is <1m and office around 5m) so it's probably a decent amount of work in terms of pipe runs.

I've got 3 quotes but I'm struggling to work out the difference between the units and what I'm getting, does any of the below mean anything to anyone in terms of the quality of the units: Quote 1 - £5504 Outdoor Unit - Mitsubishi MXZ-3F68VF3 Bedroom - Mitsubishi MSZ-AP20VGK Office - Mitsubishi...

Both seem high, our home insurance last year was about £180 and that's probably all most people expect to pay. £1000 a year with the potential to rise and be impacted by flooding would put enough people off to make it harder to sell / lower the value in my opinion.

I know a lot of buyers would be massively put off by that in the future. It could seriously impact the resale value.

Generally you buy specific integrated appliances. These are designed to fit perfectly in a standard 600mm unit space, under a normal depth worktop and you attach a matching cupboard door to the front so it looks like a normal cupboard.

Downlights will be much more effective in providing light than a skylight (especially at the size you're looking at and with the British weather). Remember - if you put a 2mx1m skylight that's an area you can't have a really bright downlight. Our last house had a kitchen almost exactly the same...

Anywhere from £5k for a bargain basement kitchen up to about £15k for proper worktops, new appliances, fancy lighting, new flooring, adding a skylight and insulation. It's a very narrow space to have a skylight. Generally the smallest you'd want to get is 2m x 1m and you need to factor in the...

We're halfway through a single storey extension of the same size and shape in Surrey which will include a new kitchen, utility, flooring for most of the rest of the downstairs and it's currently looking like it'll come in at about £150k-£170k all in. Although we've got an extra £20k or so to...

I've opted for a triple glazed window as part of our ongoing extension due to the room being an office for noise reasons. The extra cost on the window was £70 + VAT so really small but it's a standard 1m wide job. For the difference in price it seems worthwhile doing.

It feels hard to compare as you've got 200m2 (!!) of levelling out and turf to do. Have the top 2 items on your quote been itemised at all?

It'll get sun all day so that's fine, and we'll probably get some new topsoil for it as the existing soil is rubbish.

I think Privet will be too thick, we really want something that's about 50cm thick maximum. Red robin looks to be a good solution.
