Hi Folks
I have been buidling a kitchen extension (part old and new) and we would like to raise the floor up to the height of the rest of the house. This is roughly 45mm in the new build (block and beam floor) and 95mm where it joins the old house. I'm planning on using wooden...
Hi yes, we're in Charfield, nr wotton under edge. Bad advice from the architect who suggested this approach (and cut it too short then). Damn.
The reason he gave for the height was that it should be higher than the parapet in the case of snow melt.
Trying to picture the lead you are...
I found a photo of the supporting boards, they were not finished in the photo but you get the idea... you have to tilt your head sideways I'm afraid!
The fall was 100mm over 2.7m

Hi Ree
Yes there is a definite fall and yes it will discharge to the left.
Unfortunately I didn't have an earlier picture but I have fully supported the epdm with ply that sits just below the batten level to allow any water beneath and prevent ponding. (a bit more heavy duty than the...
Thanks MW. I laid the membrane but the asked the guy who designed it to show me how to finish the end... He cut it too short grrrrrr! Will look to get some formflash then.
I'm learning that fast! Again, ignorance has lead me down this route. The architect designed the gutter setup and suggested the epdm. Although I have to say it appealed to me when I looked at lead prices.
Not sure how to share a photo...

Hi Folks
Help!!!
Not sure where to start! We live in a terraced house to the rear of which we are building a single story gable extension. A small part of this extension (2.7m) shares a party wall wich we have extended upwards to form a parapet wall so that is no guttering etc...
Thanks for responding Alistair.
Sorry, I'm pretty green when it comes to this so I'm a bit bamboozled by the terminology. Is the substructure masonry the foundations and what of the damp through the fixings?

Thanks TTC
We are just going to have to limit our options then to semi recessed or surface mount lighting which is a real pain as the ceiling is quite low. We do have a certified electrician on board but obviously the detail (as in what light fittings we would like) is our choice as long as...
