I am finalising a home extension from before the covid saga! and the building inspector wants me to uprate the garage door to a 30 min fire door, I've no problem with this as I wanted to make this door more secure anyway. My plan was to laminate steel to the door with 1.5mm - 2.00mm sheet...

I've found it depends on your building inspector! old or new! You don't mention rafter dimensions.

A unique way of doing it! I would have lifted some buckets of water on the roof or a few bags of sand to weigh the boards down, anyway glad you got it sorted.

And treat yourself to a string line.

Its meant to be clear to aid drainage. Dock them some money.

I'm having the same problems! Very tiring.

Some of the guys I've seen in the barrow mix gangs definitely have questionable sanity..

You know what they say! If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

That's interesting! I've asked in the past if you can just get a sash on its own and they have said no! Your skylights are the latest generation so maybe that's why they are available. I think if I was upgrading I would go with the solar roller shutters, you can lie in bed and open them in the...

Yes those are the ones. The flashing components are alloy and are about 1.5mm thick do allow noise to be heard inside under heavy rain and hail, especially if the skylight has been fitted poorly and no felt collars been used. I bought some sticky foam matt of flee bay a few months ago and...

The roller shutters are not cheap, but will also help keep your room warmer in winter and cooler in the summer months.

Its a different window as reflected in the price. What you can do to your own skylights is line the alloy trims & flashings with self adhesive foam to reduce the impact of hail and rain which comes on the noise reduction variant. Have you also considered fitting roller shutters?

Its a gamble! and not one I would recommend to a customer.

No problem with doing that! but the other side of that is it only has one nail! If its a new roof why should you be concerned with them falling off or needing replacing?

No is the answer! The noise reduction 62 variant skylight is fitted differently.

A nail in each hole.

When you look at the end of the sheets are all the overlaps the same?

Traditionally it would be birdmouth to sit on ledger plate.

Maybe you could use something else instead of tiles, Lead?

unfortunately I don't hold out much hope of him being able to rectify the problem if that's how he left it in the first place!
