That’s exactly the kind of thing I am looking for. Thank you.
It has felt on top but there are a few small cracks where water is getting in. This should be more than enough for a couple of years.
Thank you again
I have an old 1950s concrete sectional garage. It is an asbestos roof with felt on top. I have a small amount of water ingress around the ridge. I don’t want to replace the roof as I am going to replace the whole garage in a couple of years anyway so I am looking for a temporary fix.

I have a cold loft with 300mm of insulation with boards above. The space will only be used for storage. There is no felt under the tiles (1930s house) and as such a lot of dust blows in.
Can anyone recommend a light-weight breathable membrane that I can tack to the underside of the rafters just...

Thank you. The bottom frame of the window is 85mm deep, but it can be fitted with a low threshold. Therefore the builders need to go below the floor level by 85mm minus whatever I plan as a floor covering. So if I have a 20mm floor covering the base of the frame will sit 65mm below floor level...
Thank you for your reply. I didn't make myself quite clear enough. We are having builders in to make the opening and we need to calculate how low down they need to go. The fitters say they need 85mm from the top of our floor coverings. So if I assume that most carpets and underlays are around...
Hello
We are having bi-folds put in and need to work out where we want our threshold. We havent picked carpets yet, but it is for a living room. We want nice, but not luxurious carpets. The underlay will probably be 9mm at the most. What kind of thickness should we allow for carpets? I can't...

Does anyone know anyone who makes/sells 2-gang architrave dimmer switches (one above the other)? I can find single dimmers and dual switches, but not dual dimmers!
