Yes. I can't speak from experience but if you can't get hold of one of those flat roof leak detectors I would have thought it might be persuaded to bubble a bit. Otherwise maybe a "big" patch - the stuff isn't that expensive.

I was so cross when I did mine. My drill slid down the valley point first and pierced the rubber right where the bottom of that batten is. I patched it with the uncured stuff etc and it's been fine.

You could probably do something with insulated roof panels easily enough - some angle brackets on the inner skin to fix to a timber frame.

The place is Mirrors and Glass in Stockport. I'll ask them about 4mm or try somewhere else.

They're 600 x 200mm cabs x 4 when the middle 2 go on, so a single piece 220mm x 2400mm. I've been quoted: £73 for 6mm toughened (thinnest they do), polished edges, 1mm radius corners. £33 for 3mm polycarbonate, says "sawn edges"?,

I want a top for these cheap IKEA cabinets there will be 4, 220mm x 2400mm in total. Glass is double the price of polycarbonate but would the polycarbonate do the job? It's not a "trafficked" area - just a few picture frames and nik-naks. IKEA don't do them.

You need EPDM flashing trims. Cut a slot along the render and stick the trim in with polymer adhesive. I found the trims quite expensive so made my own from some square downpipe.

How far apart are the two walls? You might be better repositioning the steel especially If the first floor joists run parallel to the wall.

I'm sure a 16mm spade bit in my DeWalt 18v would drill through an old tree. I know it would struggle with a long normal bit as it would constantly bind in the hole whereas the spade only touches the sides a tiny bit.

Sorted. OCD gone away.

Often you would just have a slightly lower ceiling in that area. But otherwise I think additional cost would be minimal as you'd be removing brickwork above ceiling height outside to do the roof and cavity tray etc.

They're hangers for the ceiling joists, not supports for the purlins.

Can anyone provide details of cheaper but reasonable quality alternatives? I read that Blum 71B3550 & Clip 173l8100 may fit? And do the standard kitchen type rails work? I've got a fair few units to fit so any small savings will add up.

I'm installing a fan on the top of my woodburner twin wall flue. What should I be looking to do with the cable? It needs to run down the wall and through to the control inside the house. I'm happy with the lower section which I can clip to the flue brackets or the wall. The top section extends...

I've recently plastered my extension and the finish was absolutely ****e! One of the ceiling areas was over 30m² and I did it in 5 separate hits. When I say ****e - I can get it on, I can flatten it with a big speedskim and I can go over it with a plaziflex; what I can't seem to do is the last...

I put mine in by myself. The smallest ones just on the rungs of a ladder. The big ones I built a small tower of scaffold and hoisted them up with my block and tackle. The big grey one was over 300kg. The hardest one was this one, I literally rolled it through that little hole in the wall...

20 years ago, when the local crackhead broke into my Fiesta to have a root through the glovebox and pinch my polo mints he used to smash the rear quarter light - it was either a £10 scrapyard replacement and an hour to fit it or a £50 excess. These days he has a magic door opening device so it...

Why does it need to come back up? Is your external ground level too low? You should do it in 4" soil pipe. I have two x 5m runs, not for an extractor but because I have a gas tumble dryer - one is an air supply and one the exhaust. They go down and straight out. You could easily lower the...

Those prices are horrendous - have you considered some steel?

Yes. The next problem - I can't tell if it's Satin chrome or brushed steel!, and I can't find anywhere local that stocks it so will have to order online. It looks like Toolstation sell some of the Click Deco stuff in satin chrome so I'll pick up something from there to compare.
