    Concrete Coping - Parapet Roof - Am I going mad?

    It doesn't always have to, if the setting out permits it then a smaller stone on each end is fine too - subject to the copings on the end not being adequate. But that's irrelevant here in anycase.

    Can water penetrate a slate roof that is in good condition?

    Ahh I see now, looking on my phone I thought we were looking at the underside of the slates, jeez yes he needs to unravel it and make it right.

    Concrete Coping - Parapet Roof - Am I going mad?

    Without knowing the length of the run and size of the stones your only other choice in that situation (apart from having a 200 slither at one end) would be to cut every coping stone down a bit. Got a photo?

    Tyre valve stem leak

    I do like winding you up. Perhaps you should place the OP on ignore. The evidence is very clear.

    Can water penetrate a slate roof that is in good condition?

    The underlay is over the top, his terminology is incorrect.

    Can water penetrate a slate roof that is in good condition?

    Think your terminology is wrong there, underlay is the roof membrane, which is correctly laid over the top of the eaves tray. What is lacking is the tilting fillet, the solid timber wedge shape bit of timber that would sit under the eaves tray/membrane and prevent this sag. Obviously the battens...

    Can water penetrate a slate roof that is in good condition?

    Well he's partially right that many older roofs do not have an underlay and also do not leak. However there ought to be a continuous tilting fillet to prevent the sag you're seeing. You say he's fitted the underlay beneath the eaves tray but we can see the underlay on top?

    They can't stop reading and replying, they're obsessed with trolling you even when they have nothing useful to add. Especially Mottie.

    2 metre retaining wall

    The rule of thumb for a mass retaining wall is that the depth of the base needs to be about 1/3 of the height so at the base the thickness ought to be something like three layers of block - 675mm wide. A beast like that really needs designing.

    moving a manhole where my extension will go

    Suggested by who? You still have a connection under the building, can you not shift that so it's outside of the extension?
