Yes thats the case its a late 70's house. I need to replace the wooden fascia underneath that has rotted and then make sure gutter edge sits back enough that its behind the roof edge.The other option is to retrofit some of drip trays.whether could slip some flexible plastic just up under the...

I noticed water staining on on external wall showing there had been previous leaks and in wet weather i could see that the wall seems soaking after rain,plus mortar has holes needs repointing.Ive been up there today and checked the guttering, replaced a leaking stop end and reconnected a leaking...

I was going to do that but with the position if pipes I've got just over 400mm between the joists so should be pretty secure.

Solved it no worries thanks had a brain fart doing a job tired on new years day!I looked further into the pile of boards and have some females on the lengths to join up with just means adjoining straight edges as well in places but will will work for what I need.

The idea being that I could join male to female and then male to female etc along the lengths and widths.currently I can only join the male on one length with the female on the short edge(width of another board,giving me a weird layout,I can also align two straight edges on the lengths if two...

Hi I've got loads of T/G chipboard planks to use in the loft.Im wanting to re use what was just put directly in the insulation on a raised deck via 4x2s.Im struggling to put the boards together as they have a straight edge on one length and a male connection on he other edge.The short edges are...

Thanks only options I can see are buying a ready made custom hatch but that will likely have an surround with it that I'll have a problem with the artex ceilings or custom making a hatch and nodding the surround.Was just wondering if there are any online guides to modding an older hatch,I can...

Hi I realise they need air flow running up from the soffit vents and through the loft but do I need to keep the ends if the joists open as well.im talking about an area like a an island within the centre if the loft so not any where near the soffit vents.The sides to the outer perimeter of this...

Got a better picture here it seems that there's failed mortar above the lip between the lip and brickwork, also failed silicone to patch the holes. I tried removing as much of the sealant as possible and also applied a tiny bit of mortar in some places where it's missing but it's incredibly hard...

Just got done better picks has a sealant in there that appears to no longer be adhering and hence gap.Also second pick is from other side of window.Ill probably need to add a line of sealant let it dry and add another to make sure it seals . radiator Ng would be good but it's a really awkward...

What sealant would you use and I take it clear would be better as it's going to be really awkward to get to as it's only accessible via the windows, conservatory below, so less visible than white if it's not really neat finish

Ideally would be but lots of the windows in the estate are the same.they have a gable roof that overhangs more than normal so probably less need.Ill look to fill that gap then see it helps with the wall.I also have bits of pointing missing on that wall internally in loft so will get those filled...

Hi I take it my window should be sealed at the top where the small plastic lip above the window meets the brickwork?I've got a cold internal wall there at high level and damp in that wall.

Just noticed this isn't properly attached with a gap at the top.tjis if from the bedroom side opposite to the brick wall face another pic.Also attached another pic showing the gap left between soffit and verge cement thats filled on areas before the repair works were done.Roofer saud though this...
