Sounds good. You say put it along the top and two sides, not along the bottom too?

Thanks.

Thanks Harry, it’s in our utility room. I can’t afford a roofer at the minute, aren’t there any flashing tapes, or even run some lead round that would do something temporary?

Thanks for your reply Harry. I just don't have the money at the moment I just need to make the best repair I can myself. I don't mind spending the money on some decent materials.

I've got a leaky roof light, I can't climb onto the roof and take a really close look 'cos I think the roof will collapse under my weight, this picture shows it quite well. I'm guessing the flashing needs to be replaced. Is it easy to pull up the existing flashing and replace with something...

Oh sorry, that’s me on both usernames. I forgot about my old username, that must be more than 10 years old. I started the thread on my PC, then replied later in the thread from my iPad, which must have automatically logged me on with my old name.

Apparently it’s been slow to empty since she moved in 2 years ago, still doesn’t rule out a partial block further down the pipe I guess. Is it okay if it runs up hill at some point then?

My daughter has a kitchen sink that takes a long time to empty. I disconnected the pipes under the sink, there's no blockage in them. See the photos attached, I've checked on-line and I haven't seen any examples of sink pipework/traps that look like this. After the trap it seems like the pipe...

Hi, I've built an extension and after casting the concrete floor, I realised I'd only left enough height for a screed of between 30 and 40mm, I understand the screed should be 50mm. Should I just go for it and screed it anyway, is there an additive to make it stronger, or should I use some...

Thanks for your replies. The pin is stuck hard, should I be able to push the pin down with my finger?

I have a radiator that is stuck on hot. The knob turns correctly, but it just stays hot. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Will Bonding stick to the lintel? And will I need to PVA the blocks before I apply Bonding? Thanks.
