Sorry mate, long story but ladders are buried under a ton of crap right now so can't get up on the roof easily to get pics. I was just after thoughts on the approach of torching down another layer on top of a felt roof that is edging towards the end of its zero/low maintenance lifespan (the ten...

Yeah okay as in not leaking but seams verging on questionable.

My roof is 10 years old, 3 layer felt system. Roofer advised during inspection that it is still "okay" but could do with an extra layer of green mineral torched down on top of what is already there, along with new "drips" (the bits around the edges). Just wanted people's opinions on the...

Thanks mate, I appreciate the reassurance.

Sorry just to be sure, @Mr Chibs - is it okay to tape up my Dpm and accept condensation underneath?

Shame there are no replies to this - I have the exact same dillema. May I ask what you did in the end?

Ah, so moisture underneath isn't "bad" so to speak? I didn't realise concrete was porous! Walls are brieze block, shingle on outside, dpm, insulated (wool) and plasterboard on inside.

A guy is coming out to check my flat (felt) house roof soon. Just wanted to check what the normal range is in terms of cost (so I don't get ripped off!) - can anyone advise? It's a mid-terrace cottage in Falkirk, Scotland, total roof area roughly 70m sq Cheers G

Hope this is the right forum. I've noticed these stains on our hallway shoe cupboard - MDF (I think) with a laminated white surface. I think it's a squirt of hand gel that's caused it. Any recommendations as to how to get the stain out gracefully? (Had a similar situation with other...

Metal dog crate door Trying to reverse the door so it opens on the other side

What do I need to detach this hinge? Triedy smallest and second smallest Allan keys but they were too small and too big respectively I'm not even sure an AK is the right thing for them. Can anyone advise? Cheers in advance!

Sorry, not sure I follow - do you mean the track at the bottom?

Aye? I wondered about that, but the bits at the top don't seem to be designed for hanging. Here's the wooden doors (I have two of these, fairly light)...
