Looking for some advice...please be kind. We had our loft done 8.5 years ago. We had an architect design and submit paperwork. We received our Certificate of Lawful Development as well as our Building control certificate at completion. We got along with our neighbours and had a party wall...

Our neighbours are doing a loft conversion and I noticed our joining tiles are like this. Does this look right? They said that the builder put lead flashing under or tiles and theirs and not to worry about water as it just flow down the roof. My tiles have also started to shift. I think...

We have had a lot of wind lately and one of the vertical tiles on our dormer fell out. Thankfully, it missed a velux window below. The tile belongs under the window so easy to get to and under the lead strip. We are not sure how to secure it. I have attached couple of photos. I took a...

We have a Valiant Eco Max 824/2E and is about 10 years old. We had the boiler's yearly check about 3 months ago and the readings came out good and all was working as should be. yesterday, we had the plumber come to disconnect our gas fireplace and and drain the system so that we could remove...

I am not sure if this is posted in the correct area. We have a garage that is 4 m wide and 6m long with an asbestos roof. We have decided not to do the removal ourselves due to the asbestos in particular. We are in a debate as to who to use. I have two quotes. One is for £1000 and the other...

Hello. Our loft conversion is close to completion and I went up the scaffolding to take a look at the work. I noticed the verge of the roof (where there is cement at the edges and gutter area) is cracked. Is this okay or do i need to have this redone? I have read other posts and it looks...

We have a new extension which is 4.2m x 5m and a pitch of 14 degrees. We are using low pitch tiles that can go down to 12degrees. The problem is that we have a leak at 3 points - on both corners and in the middle just to the right of our upstairs window where the extension meets the house...

Hi. This morning we woke up to a frosty morning and quickly went to look at our new extension roof. Our old lean to of an extension had no insulation and so having a new 'solid' roof was, to us, quite exciting. All around we say frost on our neighbors roof, but not ours. When I approached...

eaqWe are having an extension to our house built. Our builder has started building the walls and has added insulation. It has been damp with some light rain over the last 24 hours and he left the cavity walls uncovered. I went and felt the insulation along a side wall, where our doors will...
