Hi guys, I got my flat roof re-done. The old one was leaking into the bedroom and was well and truly f**ked!!! The roofers dug up the old asphalt, it was in a really bad shape, full of blisters and cracks, layed down new mastic asphalt and painted on top with a solar reflective paint. On...

Hi, I'm thinking of putting this onto my slightly uneven walls before painting. Is this stuff any good? Thanks.

I am getting some quotes from roofing contractors who are part of the NFRC - National Federation of Roofing Contractors Ltd. I'm assuming that these companies will be good at their work. Am I correct in assuming this? Many thanks.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge here, but when you say about the boards needing replacing, which boards do you mean?

Hi Nige, thanks for your reply. I own the flat, and yes I am the leaseholder. There are 2 flats in the building and I called the freeholder, he advised that the repairs to be done will be split up between me, the guy that owns the other flat and him, therefore cost will be a 1/3 for me...
