It's barrettine wood protective treatment.

Hi All, Had a new roof put on our garage last May, mineral felt over plywood. Noticed after we had that really cold spell and fog that areas of the ply had mould on it. There is some ventilation in the garage as there is about a 1 inch gap over the garage door and a side door with a gap at...

Thanks will take a look.

Most I've seen say minimum 5 degrees, think I will wait till its got to that temp for 24 hours before sealing.

Hi All, In this cold weather I need to seal around a cable coming out a wall. Do i wait till the temperature rises to at least 5 degrees for at least 24 hours or can it be applied as is and it's just a longer setting time. I've got some clear soudal general purpose to use. Thanks

I will revert to the Double pole circuit.

Thanks Taylor, out of habit I started wiring it in as a normal light switch as you would on the radial light circuit in the house.

The fused switched spur in the garage, do I wire it in as a normal lighting circuit with live and switched live going to it (inc cpc) or do I run live and neutral to the supply side of it and live neutral from the light to the load side? Hope I've explained that well enough.

Thanks again, I will watch that today.

Thanks Taylor, that sounds good.

Trajan, my plumber son has an sds and set of drills, the house is brick with cavity and the garage single skin brick.

SFK, I can see your point but I would prefer not to have to charge them. Murdochcat I think having one socket may be a good idea after all, having slept on it.

In the house, we keep the batteries In the house as the cold does them no good, so he always charges them In there.

I only need the lights as my plumber son now puts his tools in there at night and can't see properly.

Murdochcat, I only want 2 led lights, no sockets at all. Just so I can see In there at night.

Andy, so terminate the swa in the metal boxes but run the swa internal 3 cores through the box and house outer wall to isolator?

I have a garage that is not attached to the house and is about 7 metres from the house. The garage has no electrics and so I wanted to just have a couple of led strip lights in there. I was thinking of using an outdoor switched fused spur and running some armoured cable. Not sure what I need...

So forgot to post earlier but I removed about 6ft of the valley mortar, put new valley tiles in where there were ones that were cut to far back from where they should be and finally rebedded the tiles. The rafters in the loft are now dry and have stayed dry for over two weeks. So looks as if...

The sheet was put in by roofer, looks like breathable membrane, there is black roofing felt. Will try and get some better lighting to take some more pics and will strip out tiles to take pics from outside. By the way do you know the right consistency for roofing mortar.
