They will likely be corrugated onduline or similar. The company can supply 40mm insulated metal sheets as part of the build but it’s silly expensive (£9 per sq ft!) - so probably more effective to insulate with PIR after it’s built.

Looking to have an old small concrete sectional garage ripped down and replaced with a bigger one. For the new one, there’s a couple of choices of roofing material, eg plastisol coated steel with dripstop lining (for a pent design), or cement fibre sheets for an apex design. as far as roofing...

Currently looking at getting new concrete sectional garage built. Is there any useful difference other than looks between the various roofing options.. corrugated cement sheets, plastisol steel with felt backing, or insulated steel sheets? Cement sheets and steel with felt backing seem to be...

I think they have been pointed in the past, and had some tiles replaced as I have a stack of spare ones in the garage from when I moved in.. Also this is the only corner of the house that doesn’t have one of those hip-iron things, so maybe it’s fallen off. I’ve attached a couple of extra...

I have had some success with eufy security cameras. They are wireless, and battery powered.. however being battery powered they do not do continuous recording and rely on PIR motion detection before recording a clip will start, so placement and detection range is important - maybe not ideal if...

Over last couple of months ive noticed a few bits of red flake and chunks of clay appearing on the driveway round the house (1960's Semi) up until recently i have thought little of it until finding some of the flakes on the windscreen of the car that's normally parked under this corner of the...

Does the cable run come into the house the same way as the normal phone line? And im guessing this is another box separate to the master-socket?

This is unfortunately going to catch many people out - as even if camera manufacturers have released firmware to remove flash (ill use reolink as an example here as they have had firmware out in the last couple of months to remove reliance on flash - they also have a windows app, but i cant...

Just to add to this.. blocking updates to browsers and windows will not work - Adobe flash has a kill-switch that triggers on 12th Jan, at which point it will stop working on old browsers too. (you can test this in your configuration by moving the system date forward to a date post 12th Jan...

Can you try setting up a wifi hotspot on your phone and try connecting it to that? - to rule out any issue with the wifi in the panel (may need a hard reset) The Pyronix can only do 2.4ghz "n" wifi, and i have had issues in the past with my old wifi setup around having both 2.4 and 5ghz on the...

Currently looking at a proper POE 5/8k CCTV solution for the house. I already have some structured cat6 cabling in place around the house, and POE capable network switches (unifi) so it would make sense to utilize these where possible to simplify the cabling (if its a workable solution) One...

The bay itself is flat roof the gap is the eaves of the house roof. I'm thinking 50mm kingspan like this will be enough? That will maintain airflow round the eaves yet still provide useful insulation in the room?

Im having the front rooms of the house re plastered next week so i am making any improvements i can while i have the chance. the upper-bay itself is single-skin brick/timber and tile fronted. The plasterer is going to build-out a timber frame, and ill use kingspan or similar to insulate...

It seems to be the year of "getting the garden sorted" As shown in the attached pictures, the shed currently sits tall at the bottom of the garden on a concrete/brick base - id like to utilize the space alongside (2M x 2M)to extend the shed base and slide the shed across onto it - Ultimately...
