Thanks i'm actually surprised how good it turned out , reading this forum and your advice helped a lot :)

Finally got around to finishing the floor !! Thanks for your help, here are some pics :D this is it sanded And finished :P

Can't say i recognize the tiles , i'm sure on of the other lads more local to you on here will be able to ID them.

I'd recommend soakers of a secret gutter, just dressing the cover flashing is asking for trouble.

you dont put soakers under tiles you dress them over each tile, from what your saying the cover flashing and soakers are one piece? As alastair mentioned a secret gutter would be best , and then renew the cover flashing.

:?: I'm not the best with the written word, but i'm sure i managed to get across that you collect the bleach via the downspout and not let it go down the drain !!

Interesting one , sounds like the flues merge just before(or on) the top floor, so not much you can do apart from remove the cap, or try putting a 'marcone' pot on or even a 'H pot' on your stack. If that doesn't work then getting a new flue liner is the only option i see.

LOL , no mate this is defo a leak !! I'll bet you £5 to hope house charity that it's a leak? Unless you could provide a wind source that could emulate 30+mph hr winds then a hose will be of no use at all.

I bet you 1x thanks your right !!

Don't recognize the actual tile, as there have been many many makers of plaintiles such as yours, i'm guessing they're clay tiles as they look too square to be concrete.

There's a fair bit of work involved making one of them mate, plus lead isn't exactly cheap, neither is the oxy /acetalyn or the relevant insurances needed.

5 litres of bleach poured down each side, and collected(very important) through the downspout, you could do this a couple of times to be sure, and what you have collected back can be used again . The bleach will kill the moss, you could possibly jett wash the dead stuff off in a couple of...

Not that i know of, damn expensive things. Why not fit a lead slate with a cowl and some insect mesh?

ha ha, Spot on advice there
