I thought about that , however can't see where the batons are because the tiles are really long and the nails are at the top hidden by overlapping tiles , tiles are about twice as long as the ones in the video , really appreciate the advice. Thanks

Thanks , yeah that's literally the video I watched before buying the tools , however the problem is that at 1:07 on the video he knocks the hook into the gap between the underlying tiles , but between the gap on my tiles there's another layer of tiles underneath so I can't knock the hook in...

Ive ended up buying some , they were £10 for 10 , I only need about 5 ,to be honest they are approx the same thickness as wire coat hangers , I'm sure If anyone could be bothered and only needed a couple you could fashion them out of that , thanks for the advice , be careful of those roofs , we...

I know they are about 50p each , however has anyone tried to make their own roof repair hooks ? , surely you are just being a piece of metal and sharpening one end to a point , as long as the length is correct I'm sure it's possible , has anyone had any experience this , also I've been informed...

Hi , thanks for the replies , I have been having a look at what my neighbours have done when replacing these bricks , as you can seen on the image the house on the left has simply replaced the original bricks with standard bricks , I think I could do this myself with a bit of patience and a...

Oh yeah !

Can someone please confirm something for me regarding these bricks , I've replaced bricks in the past when the faces have fallen off , it's a pain , but doable , however these bricks appear deeper than actual bricks , surely they will stick out , I'm assuming I'm wrong , can someone please...

Afternoon , I live in a mid Terrace , I've noticed recently that the chimney is losing parts of the mortar and there are even bricks missing after harsh weather , the neighbour who shares the chimney left his property 5 years ago to move abroad and left it vacant , ( he owns it ) , I have no way...

That's ok , I've got no issue with it being described as mold , I just wanted to be as specific as possible , Cant really increase airflow , windows are open in warmer times and there is a fan which comes on with the light switch , thanks for the advice.

Well I say mould , it's the black stains that appear within the grout and can be removed with bleach , room is well ventilated with a window and extraction fan
