Hi, I am hoping you may be able to advise me on a problem I am having with my builder and a render finish. To give you a background of the job in hand. I employed a builder to completely remove all the old render which encased our house. He did a super job, hacked everything off to bare...

Hi can I just ask you...what exactly would warrant the laying of roof felt?...What type of problems might i be experienceing for this to be a recommended course of action? I am going to get the roofer back to check the fall etc of the guttering, but if he is insistant that the problem is it...

i paid £400 and no scaffolding was used. I am sure they are wood, but whether they're lead lined i dunno.....

Would it help if i said that water is not running down the walls in the rooms, but is dripping from where the window frame meets the plastered recess into which the window's fitted. I believe cavity wall insulation was inserted 4 years ago.

Would this prevent water going into the cavity if this is what's causing the water to come into the rooms?

Hi and thanks again....it was he who said that the roof now needs felting .....

hi, yes the sealants fine. All the pointing is new, i just cannot see how its getting in
