Matron!
My extension is outside, I think you’ll find it’s Beaker’s flood repairs, no wonder his window sill is wonky.
How many times….it is perfectly level……it’s the rest of the house that is wonky.
I can relate to that, when we were looking for an investment house we looked at one on the high street, looked really good from the outside, knocked on the door “can you come round the back please?” When we eventually got into the front room I thought “wtf is wrong with that door.” The whole frame & door looked about six inches off angle, nearly gave me vertigo looking at it, I asked what was wrong with it & was told “nothing, I’ve never noticed it” still can’t figure it out as from roadside it looks perfectly straight, does my napper in just thinking about it.
We have a major problem with mica in blocks and pyrite under floors.
Houses in some parts of the country are actually cracking up. I can't say exactly how many millions it's going to cost.
Houses will be demolished.
Major cost for pyrite as well not sure if it goes to millions.
I had a lucky escape on an industrial unit new build. There was going to be at least 5 feet deep of fill under the floor. I just happened to visit the site because it was near where I lived. There was about two truck loads of "stone" in the floor.
I phoned the engineer straight away.
Next day it was gone and lovely crushed limestone instead.
I met a guy recently who told me he saw a warehouse where it happened. The whole floor was pushed up, apparently without even cracking. He noticed that the doors didn't quite look the correct height and asked about it.

In estate agent talk ‘it is character’.
I viewed a promising looking place for rental a few years back, everything looked good…until we went out the back to see the roof of the neighbour’s extension was about six inches over the boundary. The agent said ‘it’s not a problem’. I still shake my head in disbelief on that one
