I wouldnt bother with either the round vents or the over fascia vent , just buy vented soffits !

I think if you are careful you should be able to separate the felt overlap (welt)from the fascia board by using a crowbar or the claw of the hammer. As long as the felt is newish it should flex enough to allow you to do this. You should end up with a row of nails sticking out through the...

I second that .....2k sounds about right

Why not just repoint the gaps with mortar ? I cant see a problem with this as long as there is some sort of undercloaking, suppose you could do it with expanding foam but i imagine this would look an eyesore! (Undercloakings are a tile, slate or grey asbestos like strip that the cement...

I forgot the flat roof would be covered under the building control too so probably another £300-400 for insulation board between the rafters. Building control dont want to know about flat roofs around here if you are doing them on there own.

Nearly missed your flat roof........ 17 ft x 17 ft ....if its just a felt changeover and the boards are good then you would be looking at £900-1000 for a three layer torch on roof. If the boards were rotten about another 4-500 on top .

Hi , looking at the photo i would say you are looking at £4000-4500 to strip the roof of all that horrible foam, remove all the old felt and battens, install new breathable felt and battens and retile the roof in new concrete tiles. It might be ok to reuse the original tiles that are on the...

Thanks for the informative and helpful reply. I think im going to give this a try for a while , i like the idea of spending as much as you like .

Hi Not getting too much action on the phone at the minute and just wondered how good google adwords is ? Have heard of mixed results from advertising on there, i know it can be expensive but does it bring the work in ?

Sounds like you need a downpipe connector or a socket fitting as it is sometimes known to get a snug fit. One end into the downpipe and the other to the hopper, job done !

Ideally get rid of them ! They are nothing but trouble and it is possible to cut them off and remove and fit a standard fascia board and gutter set up. If you cant stretch to this i would buy a paint on product called acrypol. You should be able to buy at your local roofing merchant or...

sounds like this is the drainage hole where all the water from the roof runs out of. I am assuming that the roof has 4 sides and no gutters ? These are very prone to leaking around this if the felt has not been sealed to this outlet properly .

£4-5000 Supply and fix or thereabouts i reckon, if you were after a proper price id be happy to look into it for you.

do not under any circumstances torch straight onto insulation boards without having a 3B layer of felt down or you will burn the place down.

1. fascia can only be purchased in 150mm at the smallest size, yes you do need 16mm replacement fascia if you are removing the old fascias otherwise the weight of the tiles on the thinner stuff will be too much and it will start to bow. 2. Ive used a bit of boot polish to clean up old...

Its worth pulling a few tiles out and patching it up , probably only an hours work then at least you have peace of mind .
