This is what the exterior looks like so far. We have been approved planning permission to extend single storey, front and side With sky lantern. we are set on a flat roof with wildflower and sedum. Considering keeping the tiles. front door will be moved forward and there will be a window on the left. Not sure what the new render should be for the extension? Brick ? Trying to keep all costs down but Still have a Clean and contemporary finish...... I realise now I should have been braver with the windows! Tut tut!!!

What makes UK homes distinctive from the rest?

Sadly I have to agree with the comments about the poor energy efficiency standards of new housing in the UK - they're criminally low in the first place and sometimes aren't even adhered to properly, which can make living in them expensive, miserable and unhealthy. Historically energy conservation hasn't been an issue as so much of our housing, particularly social/council housing, was built decades ago when energy was plentiful and cheap and hardlly anyone thought about the effect on the planet. On the other hand, the UK has a rich architectural heritage which comes in part from the mix of housing and thanks to the efforts of the conservation movements which arose from the threat of bombing in the C20th wars and then the possibly even worse vandalism of the 1960s town planners! Reading and Glasgow suffered terribly at the hands of the planners but happily now many - though far from all - historic buildings across the country are loved and protected. We're fortunate in the UK not to have a mindset of 'new is better' so bulldoze the old, but there's always a place for innovation and making old houses comfortable and efficient places to live in in the C21st. *gets off soap box*

What to do with a poorly covered up chimney
Q
Comments (0)
Hi there — I’m in a 1930s semi detached and I have two bedrooms that feature poorly patched over chimney breasts (one pictured here). I’m trying to figure out what to do. I have no idea the state of the chimney behind the plaster or how much money/effort it would be to re-expose it. I know from the home survey that the chimney stacks aren’t in good shape, so not something I could get working easily I reckon, would just be decorative. I wonder if it’s best to just have the wall replastered so the chimney seam isn’t visible and redo the picture rail and skirting so it’s less obvious? But then there’s still the old hearth to deal with... Anyone encountered similar or have ideas?
