Thanks oldbutnotdead, I was wondering how hard it would be to remove the current roof. Another question then, can expansion joints be put in? As the work is all finished.

Thanks notch 7. Can you smell that inside?

Sorry to dig up an old thread, i have a new warm deck flat roof approx 60sqm with no expansion joints. The roof makes the most almighty banging noises in the morning when the sun heats up the roof and late afternoon throughout the night as the roof cools. It is horrific, i've seen many posts...

Thanks oldbutnotdead, really appreciate the time you have taken out today to respond. Much appreciated!

Hi, thanks for responding. Would be beneficial to remove the F & E + hot water tank so we can use the loft space and airing cupboard. Boiler we were going to change in any case so can go either way whatever works best.

Hi, About to embark on a refurb of the house including extension and wanted to get some views from you guys:- + Would you recommend moving to a sealed system (assuming budget is ok)? + If moving to a sealed system do i need to re-pipe the house? Is there a way to test the current pipes can...
