I just use it keep any excess cash there because it's a bit harder to plunder. Just a parking space. The sums vary between £3000 and £26000, currently I'm sitting at £23500. Biggest win last month £375. This month I got £25. Usually I get £0. It's a scam, the algorith penalises you if you put...

Three mornings now without any condensation on any of the windows, not a drop. Today I installed those plastic undersarking separators and everything was dry as a whistle. I could actually feel a cool breeze on my face - that's how good the ventilation is there so I am not too worried yet about...

Yep, I'd put a plastic cover and some weight on top, the underside was dripping wet, moisture trying to escape. Undersarking has been fitted quite loosely, so probably didn't need to order the plastic thingies, nice fresh wind blowing as I remembered. You just can't beat a 1970 bungalow, it's...

I was scratching my head why suddenly there is condensation on the windows in the mornings, I couldn't remember having changed any of my habits and always when I switch on the central heating around October windows stay clear and dry fro then on. Even some black dots started appearing on the...

I had the same problem with that thermostat, I got rid of it and replaced it with something else. My case may not apply to use but I did identify some possible reasons. The thermostat had batteries and was not wired in. 1. thermostat was located a long way from the receiver in the garage, many...

Yes, £1.92 for Marley moderns, but I was swapping so many of them, the roof looks like a right mess with the old and new mixed. It's like crazy paving. I'll continue next summer, fed up for now, so I used OB1 and did end up changing for new ones until I ran out tiles. £4-5 delivery in the north...

I'll revise my earlier answer, having swapped quite a few Marley Moderns on Friday. 30mil thick block of timber works best, one on the tile avove to the right, lift that, timber underneath, then lift the one immediately to the left of the of one you want to remove. Now you canf lift the tile...

I have a few Marley Modern tiles where the small lower corner is cracked and the piece gone. If the corner piece is there I've been using OB1 to glue it on, the damage being cosmetic which won't cause a leak. Would it be possible to shape and mold flexim putty to make a new small corner? Or is...

I use a flat angled metal bar to lift the marley moderns then I place some 40mil thick timber under them in strategic places and wiggle the one I want to remove out. The grooves sometimes make it a bit hard, or there might be those clips with nails to keep them in place but they are always very...

In my case, Marley Moderns from 1970, the moss seems to eat the concrete which becomes very crumbly under the moss which is always on the seams. My neighbour says it's because the moss gets frozen in the winter, thaws and freezes constantly, damaging the tile.

Thanks, that puts my mind at ease. That job is fairly difficult for a 60+ year old man who is gingerly stepping on old and brittle Marley Modern tiles from 1970. I was easily able just to lift the old ridge tiles off the mortar bed. I decided against the brackets and screwed the battens on the...

During a few sunny days I dismantled the old Marley Modern angular ridge and replaced it with the new same ridge tiles. Please look at the photos of the plastic union/clips attached. It's not one of those ratchet systems where you place the two tiles in place then push the ratchets in, in...

But I'm not of the roofing world, just a DIYer who only pays someone else if the boiler or radiators need work. Might not look 100% professional or mint, but I won't have to curse that roofer who didn't give a damn or had too low an IQ to understand how water always tries to find the easiest way.

I suspect you're right, I haven't seen the kit yet myself, but someone was very suspicious earlier in an earlier post.

The ridge tiles are bedded in and pointed, where's the air going in?
