    Road planings

    Night deliveries are always well loaded up. Costs jump around a lot, it’s £400 plus if they come out of the yard. I pay anything between £100 - £200 a load (18-20t) and always say yes to what ever they offer, it’s cheap aggregate. If you can get their numbers and just say yes they always ring...

    Grant to help with cost of diverting footpath?

    Been in identical situation 5yrs ago. Dad moved the path which was semi adopted but unofficially. The risk you have is then creating two public rights of way. Took us 5 yrs and 5k but well worth it

    fire proof walling for commercial units

    We did a stud wall and double plasterboard on both sides with Rock wool between to separate boiler house from next door. Didn’t ask for nor request feedback from the officials over it but plasterboard is hard to burn! Can also get fire board that’s like thin flat fibre cement sheets

    I want to rent a barn

    Shot with a guy few years back who did canvas painting for the super wealthy. He needed a barn 6m+ and used a cherry picker type set up to get around it. Mostly painting of semi naked trophy wives, takes all sorts!

    National Grid, compound yard request, key points please

    I know there isn’t a fixed rate but hearing what others have recently achieved is helpful. I’m yet to gauge scale and time frames which will reflect rates. 1) I wasn’t involved last time - unlike Dad this sort of thing is far from Alien to me, hence ditching agent perhaps. 2) based on current...

    National Grid, compound yard request, key points please

    Thanks everyone. To be clear they aren’t doing any work on the land, did that years ago. It’s just storage to access a strategic bit very close by. We had the aggregate last time and it was fine to be fair. The compound needs to go, don’t want any planning hassle there. £/m is the key...
