Is that because She's a "She"? Are they taking the mickey? My Son has just had a Brickie in to remove a garage up and over door and block it up with Brick outside/Block inside (properly toothed in) after checking slab depth under and put a window in there as a quick cash job, no issues. Wanted the work and it was easy money I guess.everyone shes spoken to has come back similar basically if you want brick, i'm doing all this work. if you want a shed then F off to b&q

She needs a gang of "Easties" then to come and do it to a planned specification. My Sister has used a chap for years to do all her building work, he's as honest as they come and no B.S. He works hard and for long hours at decent rates.it could be, i think a 'rural cheshire postcode' doesn't help - you must be loaded, with a blank cheque book

He was based in London and when they moved to Sandhurst in Berkshire he still came out to do work for them there. Good jobbing builders/tradesmen are a bit like reliable cleaners, once you have such a "little treasure" you keep them.
My 1902 house in Stroud in Glos. Was of engineering bricks and fancy terracotta facings and mouldings. Built on limestone blocks just laid on the dirt. Still standing today.i'm no brickie but i'm sure you could block up round the existing wood frame on the existing yet meagre brick base for very little. pretty sure the house doesn't have what you'd call 'footings', built late 1890s, not fallen down yet
