Not more than around £120.00, 1-2 hours work max

The roof is naff through and through. The ridges look like he pointed them up using his c*ck, the mortar looks like a bricklayers 6-1 mix(too sandy) and the flashings are left short and messy. No need for those ugly ridges in the middle, should have used a bonding gutter. Tiles kicking...

Be happy to quote you if you would like to send us a drawing ?

Every so often over the last 6 years of business i have had various phone calls usually from withheld numbers asking me if i want to include my business on a wallplanner for sick kids/cancer charity/animal welfare etc. I have always thought these to be a scam(especially when one rang up once...

Mate , when it comes to saftey, do not risk it. You can feel safe in what you are doing but one tiny slip and you can break your neck or worse. Get your scaffolder to extend your scaffold around the main roof, it may cost another couple of hundred quid but better than than the rest of your...

I think ive had every sort of felt going Cumbrian, i always go with the Axter force line which is an SBS felt and wont go back to anything else. App is crap and i find it awkward for detail work such as drips etc. Only problem ive been having lately with the SBS is foot marks on the felt...

Cumbrian , when you do a two layer felt roof are you using two heat applied layers or one nail down and one heat applied? Im just curious as perhaps im going overkill on some of my outbuilding/garage jobs. I always use 1 nail on 3b, 1 layer 2mm t/o and one layer axter forceline 4.5mm t/o.

Not much i can add to this apart from Make sure you DOUBLE nail your new upvc fascias to avoid heat twist one above the other .

Generally if its old (15 years plus) its not worth a repair job , its reroof time ! Patching up an old leaking flat roof is a complete waste of time. If you look at the boarding underneath the roof , if its chipboard its highly likely you will be replacing that too even if its not wet or...

Take the roofing battens flush to the outside of the wall. Fix your slates on also flush to the outside wall. You will then be left with a 2-3 gap with the sides of the roofing battens visible When you have finished your slating cut a strip of upvc or timber trim and fix this sideways...

No you cant , as stated by MW its a different material You wouldnt be able to just stick it in there over the top anyway without making sure that the old felt lapped over the top of it and was then resealed. If its only a bay and is a few metres square its probably worth reroofing, im sure...

Nothing wrong with a big old blob of gripfill as long as the surface and underneath of slate is clean and dry.

You do not need to paint your roof. Seconded

I blame the guy above me !!!

Are the roofing tiles flat or profiled? Many flat tiles will leak under lead flashings even though the lead may seem perfectly sound if there are not soakers or grp secret gutters fitted. This is because the wind blows the rainwater running down from the valley straight under the lead.

You could ditch the rockwool and go with a multi- foil insulation such as actis which is nailed on top of the rafters or i believe it can also be nailed onto the back of the rafters in some applications. http://www.insulation-actis.com/home.php?p=3&l=3

Ive had a terrible problem with my 2003 renault trafic alarm, it keeps going off randomly for no reason even in the middle of the night. Neighbours are getting seriously annoyed ! Where abouts is the alarm located on this van and would it be possble to disconnect it without causing...

Surely this should be in the painting and decorating section :roll:

Cant say ive ever had a problem using vented soffits , in fact i did my own house around 5 years ago and the ventilation gaps are still wide open and performing well. Individual round soffit vents are hideous looking , very 1980,s. Over fascia vent goes very brittle after a period of time.
