Can you explain ?

Thats what I keep telling him !

I get that , there isn’t much I can do know except figure out how to mitigate it Again my roofer is saying he wants to lift the ridges and install lead flashing all the way down moulding it to the tiles and have it run out on the sides around 200mm and then re seat the ridges and point I’ve...

I don’t know the answers to these I’m sorry as but I’ll ask the roofer I’m wondering if we lift the ridges , raise the battens , redo felt and reseat the tiles and then redo the ridges to hopefully flatten out the tiles to seat better

It’s a steel hip beam running down those ridges as per pics

Not very helpful as these were taken at dusk but I’ll post and do some more in daylight His is about 15-16m long

Someone told me it’s possible to install a flashing under the ridges but I’ve never seen such a thing , lead etc … I’ve never seen lead flashings used like that and would be expensive on a 20m run

Yeah it’s easy to do that but being able to solve it is the problem !

alarm fitter left me nothing, then went bust ... so i have had to download it and learn! seems to be sorted now ... thanks for help

Hi guys, i rang tech support, they suggested I power it down and restart it.. sounded like BS to me but I did it nonetheless and bingo I now get a full 5 bars :) is there anyway to actually test the alarm functionality (ie SMS and voicedial) without a full alarm activation (I suppose there must...

thanks very much - yes I will call them tomorrow, I have emailed but that was some time ago and no reply. its odd as I am 100% sure Ive done everything correctly - perhaps its a duff unit

hi thanks for the reply, this is a GSM Dialler :)
