yeh.. even a quick flash fix is likely temporary fix as like I'd mentioned I can count a few in street had chimney removal. Also a few have had the chimney lowered down where they removed about half the height. They were doing it closeby recently. Took a few days after scaffolding been. This...

Thanks for the replies I see what you mean about the ridge tile and the lead being underneath but I guess it depends how they've done it under the ridge tile. All speculation, someone needs get up there. Like said there's other activity around here with chimneys I'll have to ask about. House...

Thanks yeh thats all I could think of, wondered if there were other options. Maybe there's some platforms I could buy, various come up on amazon. I'll work it out :)

Kitchen Roof in picture is 3.5m wide. Some years ago some local guy was doing work on it and he apparently used ladders across it to fix gutter I think (my elderly mothers house) hench the broken slates. Also I think there is damp like marks on the render as gutter is leaking. my question is...

Few of back and 1 front. Not done neighbours side. To me look lifted bit lifted off slate at back and not pressed tight on chimney bricks. Prob hard to say without a good look? Can't do flaunching really

I'll try to zoom in on my side see if I can get a decent pic tommorow. Need a drone :) Yeh the party wall is a single skin

Discovered this in attic. I'm assuming flash around chimney? It's between me and next door as house is a semi. Next door said his attic is fine. This tends to be bad during certain weather so I'd imagine it's a wind direction rain thing. Sometimes hardly anything during rain. A few house I've...

Used to find them on old boards years back lol

Excuse to play around with regulators ie https://cpc.farnell.com/stmicroelectronics/l7806cv/v-reg-6-0v-7806-to-220-3/dp/SC08342

thinking logically theres a few walls underneath, no stud partitions here, so would give support if i ever got it done be good to get it out, its big. Theres one a few doors up and others in street converted That purlin is 6metres long, and as it goes into next door (its a semi.) Assume it...

Yeh, got no plans other than storage here (Maybe full attic conversion one day if i can afford it) So have left them alone. The one I took down was was hanging off doing nothing but some of them are tight some not so much. Its a nice house but old. Nice high ceiling but need replastering and new...

Hi Been adding some ceiling boards on those raised plastic legs you can get (bit crap but does the job I suppose). Anyone know what these are nailed.to the big roof joists. Few have come off, assuming they are to hold beam in place while they built around? House in 1920s. Wondered if to take...

well my slang :mrgreen: it goes in loose

Another plumber suggested this...

yeh.. sounds good ill have a go tommorow. Im a bit concerned as when the fridge goes back in you cant see any of it and I know what will likely happen then :( thanks :)

yep :( If i rammed a pipe in with weld adhesive on I assume it wouldnt work as its probably not tight enough? Or maybe take pipe out (if it leaks) and put LOTS (well all around it) of silicon on it and put it back on.. frustrating

yeh i get you I think, ive seen them. I still hasnt leaked since i plastered it in silicon but its only matter of time I think :-(

it seemed empty when i checked. I guess i need an exact same version to clean the inside and reinsert new, or is there a better way to seal it? I can get the silicon off if need be. I was thinking of a rubber seal like in the compression waste fittings but then this would probably not be tight...

Hi, Been sorting out a new sink, while doing found a healthy leak hidden away. I really dont want to mess with the soil pipe (stack?) but noticed there is no seal on the female attachment socket where the sink waste pipe goes in. Assuming there is one usually? Hence you can see I have...
