    New Twinplas guttering is leaking at join already

    I’m not familiar with that system but give him a call and if he is a reputable roofer he will pop back out to sort it. Sometimes when fitting gutters it’s easy to snag a rubber and we don’t realise till it rains.

    Attaching J channel for hollow soffit

    It’s only bowing because there aren’t enough screws in the j trim. It will all sit tight to the woodwork with plenty of screws.

    Do I need a wooden batten underneath fascia

    Take the wooden fascia off and install new 16mm fascia directly to the roof joists.

    Upper gable gutter discharge onto roof not lower gutter

    I would have done away with the pipe and had the gutter flow towards the house main roof. It’s only a short run. It would have dissipated on its way down before reaching the lower gutter and there would’ve been no splashing.

    Conservatory roof panel retaining end caps

    The end caps don’t stop the panels from slipping. The snap down top portion of the glazing bar does this. The end cap is simply decorative and hides all the joins.

    Choosing hollow or solid soffits

    They do the same thing. But if hollow is being used as a soffit replacemeant it can bounce a bit when cleaning it.

    Leak behind soffit boards

    Was there a national gutter bracket shortage the week it was fitted?

    Neighbour says our new guttering has caused problems?

    that white downpipe is gonna shoot the water straight out that shoe faster than an eithiopian running after a cheese rolling down a hill

    Recommendations for marks down wall

    Shyte from the roof is making it's way down the render. The dry verge caps seem to be at their most extended towards the top. I'd like to see a pic of the roof when the dry verge butts up to the tile!

    Facia board not sealed

    The undercloak should be longer and mortared to the end of the tile with the guttering extended.

    Eaves trays and first battens

    I think he's probably done it by now but i do like it when you draw stuff

    Is this soffit asbestos?

    Blimey I forgot all about him. He certainly was the village idiot.

    Running porch guttering along alleyway

    Yes soakaways need to be 5m but we’re talking about a little porch. I’d just dig a hole in the middle of the garden and bang a crate in there.

    Running porch guttering along alleyway

    It’s a lot of pipe and faff just for that porch, plus any 90 degree bends will drip unless you gunk them up. Miniflow will get blocked as soon as a leaf drops in. Personally I’d do a little mini soak away in the front garden

    Replacing glass roof

    You could use a self support poly system 35mm opal heatguard. Bars are 100mm high so you’d have to create a little mini flat roof valley at the top. You need at least 1 supporting purlin in the middle. working with those slates though….:censored:
