Can you elaborate a bit further please when you say push tiles up? If I've understood you correctly I'm guessing that if I go down the undecloack option it's a case of removing the old mortar (but access difficult to get to the top to remove the mortar) and it's then a case of sliding the...

It's a cold roof

If the fall on the roof is not correct what would be the simplest way to achieve this? I understand i could use firring strips, are there any other options?

Should i use ply throughout instead? Or would it be ok to use a mix of osb3 and ply? Which is better of the two? Any ideas on the fixings?

I guess I'll have to purchase another osb3 board! Couple of other questions Screws or nails? What size? What intervals should the osb3 board be fixed at?

Decided to go with the EPDM option, planning on doing the roof on the weekend. I'll be fitting 1x 18mm OSB3 board 2440 x 1220 straight edge but it'll be short by 5 cm on either side of the width and 3 cm either side length wise A small expansion gap is acceptable but to make up the small...

The exact dimensions of the roof are 2550 x 1350mm Was looking to purchase 1x 18mm OSB3 board 2440 x 1220 Given that the board shall be slightly short is it ok to use small off cut to make up the shortfall? or should I buy a second board, cut as appropriate and place each board equally in the...

Haha, nope, but I emailed planning aid england who i must say provided incorrect advice on my initial enquiry! However they have confirmed the interpretation to be correct :)

Just another question promise! I asked the council the following regarding the footpath not the actual land to the side of my property which i want to fence off Please could you kindly confirm whether the metalled footpath running between numbers xx and xx, from the back of the public footway...

I contacted the council public rights of way dept who have confirmed it's a public footpath based on the definitive map. I'm going to take the gamble and apply for planning but not holding breath, as stated earlier as its not in keeping with the street scene and to make matters worse the...
