Hi Barthy Thanks for replying and for the info about the "shunt". I have learnt a new word today. My plan is to dry finish the verges with either Marley, GAP or universal parts. I have a square bungalow that i am extending 3 metres at the back, two hip to gables front and back and a loft...

Hi I hope someone can help. I am planning a new roof as part of a loft conversion project. I need to plan in advance and i have some flexibility with size of the soffit, bargeboard and fascia on the new gables which are themselves timber framed. I need about 44 tiles and current choice is...

Agent difficult to contact. Planner did site visit and said they would come back to us to talk about possible conditions etc and when we did not hear we assumed it would be ok. Then we saw it was refused. Thanks for the advice, I am waiting for the officer to get back to us

Hi I am looking at buying a detached house. When it was built it had an open porch which stood out from the front of the house by about 3-4 feet and was about 4feet each side of the front door. The porch was just a flat roof with a 3 inch diameter metal pole holding up the 2 corners...

Hi I have a detached chalet bungalow built in 2007, built as a chalet bungalow. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms at the back each having 2 velux windows one above the other facing rearward. Front already has a dormer. I am looking to replace the velux windows (all 4) with one dormer across...

About to fit 2 new velux windows below 2 existing velux windows. Have details from Velux and about to order. Just looked at instructions from site and they mention an underfelt collar, insulation collar and vapour barrier. The upper windows dont appear to have these additional items...
