Is there anyone on here who can put a new doorway in?

I have a brick shed which was added to the back of the house at some point in the past.

If possible, I'd like a doorway made so I can get into the shed from inside the house, rather than go outside and round the back

If this possible, it'll then be a matter of is it financially viable next

TIA

put a couple of pics up outside and inside house and i will give you a general estimate and list of works but sorry your a bit too far away but it will give you an idea mind you the way pricing is at the moment theres a lot of people doing work very cheap but not necessarily correct 

hope that helps

Structural- to make sure you put a lintlel in so the house doesn't fall down !

Cheers for the offer Paul. I'll have to do that on Sunday as I'm out for the day tomorrow.

no prbs..you should not need planning but building control dept do an assesment of what your proposing and ensure its in accordance to the regs and carry out a site inspection and sign the work off all for a fee of course normally a percentage of the value of works

If I were you I'd get a local builder, perhaps someone who you know, or by word of mouth and get them to put the doorway in. It's quite a straightforward job. I wouldn't bother with building control, ad the job is simple, nowt to go wrong, and why should we pay a tax on improving our lot? You don't want the state snoopers nosing round your property and you paying for the privilege.

Great until you want to move house and what you've done becomes apparent. Chains are fragile enough when moving house without creating your own obstacles.

or just send wifey up there she could reverese into your wall no problem and create a hole she reverses into everything else

would have to agree building control on a job like that is a waste of time if you have someone you can trust to do the work but as Kevin said may show up  if you ever sold but with the home packs out the window its not as strict now

besides i am sure you told me there was a door way there when you moved in

What, knocking out a few bricks, putting a support in, making a door frame then making good? Chances are s buyer wouldn't even notice/look. Not that there'd be anything to hide
