I will need a brick wall (no plastering) to be built in the front/entrance to the property. I would like quote for both a 6 foot and an 8 foot to compare please. The length of the front is 28.m. I would also need a solid motorized gate (extending as far down to the ground as possible) also to be put up with the erection of the wall. The start of the project would only be late January, early February next year.
We have a unit that originally had a balcony (1.2m x 4.0m), that the previous owner closed up with hardwood floors. We want to return it into a balcony: remove the windows, return the balcony floor to the original concrete, and install a sliding door again. We already had the wooden floorboards removed, but we need a quote on: - Removal of screed (where the floorboards used to be) - Finishing of the drop / sliding door cill, from the inside of the apartment to the balcony floor (where the sliding door frame will be installed) - Finishing of the balcony floor (smooth concrete, as it was before, is OK) to make sure that any rain will flow to the original draining pipe. - Cleaning of screed/rubble. Please see the attachments. We need measurements and briefing with the sliding door installation company to happen tomorrow (Wed 13 Dec). But we are flexible with the job start time (either this week before Friday or in middle January) For now, we only want a quote on the screed removal / return to concrete flooring / preparation for the sliding door frame. Depending on the quality of the job, we will consider you for the removal of the windows and finishing of the exterior wall (once the sliding door is installed).
I am guessing the roof area at +- M2? This is a 2 bedroomed house with a 4 -triangled roof facing 4 ways. One section receiving direct rain needs extra attention and the rest still reasonable. You will probably check all measurements on internet Google maps etc. Quote to paint roof in green please. This must wait untill mid to end January'24

This is a very old property and it’s one of those old Hutton properties where everything needs to get sorted out from the electrical stuff I mean the electrics in the house is just appalling it needs a solar rooftop thing, there’s air locks in in the system so there’s often times where we don’t get water. There’s a lot that needs to be done
