    Slanted bedroom floor

    The thought had crossed my mind lol :wink: What would have caused this? Does it have to be that the joists have slipped? Its a similar situation with the bloody roof. Im not great at DIY mate, or terminology, what is a tapered edge? There will be a door opening up into the room and...

    Advice on new roof - Semi Detached

    I currently have a flat kitchen roof (extension to the house). Its not that big. The flat roof has, well, had its day and has sunk in so many places. I have had a rough quote to turn this into a pitched roof with Marley tiles and new fascias and guttering of circa £750. I doubt it...

    Thanks and sorry for being dumb. Is the celotex and kingspan a type of loft insulation or is this something further I need to add? Would a new ceiling in the bathroom need to be installed? Is there a way of converting them from raked or is that the way it has to be? I take it putting a...
