In my opinion it looks like it needs a GRP wall abutment flashing installed.

Should be a lead gutter there laid into a timber box section with the bargeboard over that. The whole design is completely wrong as the angle of the roof is constantly running water into the bargeboards...horrendous.

I would be looking at the lead flashings joining the wall at the top personally. I suspect water getting in through crap flashings or pointing, hitting the felt underneath and running in at the top of the windows where the felt has been cut.

Hi guys, got a large job im pricing, customer wants to use natural slates 10 x 20 fixed using those black slate to batten hooks that they use in france. Just have a couple of questions, do you batten the roof with normal spacings ? My thinking is that the roof is battened as normal with an...

Anyone ever encountered a lonely housewife on a job ; ) Any funny stories ????

Probably a few divided opinions on this one. The way he has done it in my opinion is acceptable, but i would run a neat bead of black mastic after slating to close in the small gaps you are talking about. The pros of doing it the way he has done it is that it is maintanence free and very...

What was you originally looking to put on the roof as a covering?. Wouldnt cost a lot to put a three layer felt roof on something that size, probably about £700.00 all in. I dont deal with the liquid roofing myself but m sure its dearer....

Nothing looks worse than laying marley moderns without a broken bond. What a shoddy job, love the mitre on the porch

work off a sheet of 18mm plywood for support.

Pah, stuff all this rubber nonsense, it looks like grandpa's nutsack when the summer sun shines on it. Just get it refelted, modern felts are so much better than what you probably have up there and you would get a complete guaranteed 3 layer job all in for £400.00 without getting your hands...

Ive got to be honest , its hard to tell what is going on there . What is that green thing/stuff ??

Go to the NFRC website and search for contractors in your area,just put in your postcode. As a general rule contractors who would sign up for this are genuine (its hassle and costs quite a lot of money to prove your trustworthy) Get a least two quotes and post them up on here possibly...

seconded - klober permo is excellent and reinforced.. Dont be tempted by budget breather membranes as they are like tissue paper, cromar vent 3 for example is awful.
