I would say it would stand a fair chance of doing so.

Yes,just put your cat ladder on at an angle and secure bottom(screw hook into fascia and tie off.A scaffold is always the saffest option but not always practical or in your case being too tight to pay for one(joke).I have used this method before and its quite safe. :roll:

:cry: The ideas some people have.

Many types of insulation is just fixed to your boards.Fibre board/cork/celotex-kingspan to name a few,Pour and roll,torch on(some require vapour barrier/rubber vent-vented underlay) or pre fitted decking/insulation in one but the latter is very expensive and no better, just easier for the...

Be happy to but due to the weight of lead it would work out too expensive.Better going to your local scrapyard they would be more than happy to sell you some lead,after all thats how scrap dealers make money=buy lead in at one price and sell on at a slightly higher price.I have been to the scrap...

no just use a guager,not a pointing trowl.Tip if your not an expert at pointing and have trouble getting it to look good.Just point it the best you can,wait half hour-hour or so until the mortar is starting to go of.Then get a paint brush and a container with water in and brush your pointing...

Remove and start again be best way.If sticking to existing flet yes prime first.Really the flet should have went up the wall onto the parrapit and stopped around one inch short of edge,then slabs/copings beeded onto this. If walking on a flat roof you can get flat roof tiles,they are not...

You could always try bird lime :twisted: you would have the rspca round though and end up in court lol. :wink:

Felt will not stick to brick work unless primed with bitumin based primer, Before primer applied brick work must be dried with blow torch=dry around 18 inch then prime right away,then blast that primer with torch,then dry/prime etc etc etc.No need to cut felt into wall what so ever.Also where...

Just use the insulation you have,the foil backed stuff,no need to go out and buy any.I really would not bother with vents,no need.

Shuda went to spec savers :wink: OP its not a major job at this time so get it sorted while this is the case ie before the wind and gales of winter arrive.You should get the work done for £150 max.

Sadly a familular story up and down the country.When i look in my local yellow pages appx 25% are cowboys(their well known by us in the trade),all have huge adverts with multiple phone numbers,many are mebers of the various trade federations.Someone has to pay for these adds?Good tradesman dont...

I tend to dissagree.I would say get it sorted,it looks like the laths may actually be wet?Is that the case original poster?Either way i would still get it sorted and sooner rather than later.

Fair comment.

@ Mw Roofline-A bit over the top but funny as ****...... :twisted:

I agree with you 100%,the idea is fit and forget or so they say.

Be lucky for that to do any good,it may ,it may not but best case scenario=short term,very short.If you dont have the money and want the water to stop,to prevent further damage invest in a tauparlin(less than a tenner) wont look nice but WILL stop the water ingress while you save up.If its...
