Does anyone know what price lead is at the moment?appx will do.

Tip for turning your copper green very quickly,pee on it cough cough :wink: Never actually tried it bit apparantly its true.

Dry verge is very good if fitted in the correct wat imo head and shoulders about mortar.

If i was fitting any type of metal roof it would have to be lead then after that copper but lead is the best metal roof covering imo.

Or even a compatent roofer.Last ones i done were done with ship lap but tbh these days most seem to be pvc,fit and forget.

If the decking is ok on your flat roof you want insulation boards that fit directly onto your decking.No need to rip good boards up just to fit insulation between the joists.If this is the case you will need vapour barrier,insulation and 2 layer t/o.

I had a simular problem in my loft that i converted almost 20 years ago.I have coolag now known as kingspan in my joists and rafters.I just fitted 2 velux windows to get a through draft.I must admit if both windows are not left open it does get really hot up there in the summer though but its...

""My first words regarding this reply-Right here goes but like i say bit of a botch job ""Advised an easy cheap/practical way for DIYer to sort a problem.In an ideal world the roof would be stripped,joists either reset or replaced(depending) if need be furings fitted, 18 mm ply,2 layer t/o h/p...

Right here goes but like i say bit of a botch job and not some thing i would undertake but it would remove the puddle from your roof.You could get a hopper head.Cut a hole into your roof(through boards/felt) at the lowest point in the dip.Fix your hopper head to a joist.Fit a lenght of down...

When roofs are boarded they are called sarkin roofs.If boarding your roof out you would need to counter batton(fit laths from eaves to apex,then fix you laths on top of these) so the water would not sit behind the laths.Its common in scotland but not common in england.

You could do as you ask but it would be a bit of a botch job.

You will definitley have trouble with the roof in the future as felt will not stick to silicone,infact silicone acts in a negative way to bitumin(try sticking silicone to piece of flet,leave for a week and view the results,it also says this on most silicone tubes).What will happen is where ever...

I had heard you served time over that debacle in the public toilets lol.Ive now decided to call it one nil to me and am now hitting the ignore button so any more posts from you i wont have the pleasure of reading.Bye sexy and keep out of trouble oh and keep taking the tablets.

Price seems ok,Im assuming there will be using rise and fall bracks as i assume there is no fascia boards?

Both are exactly the same :wink: .

Sorry for delay but been pondering.I dont use black jack and have never claimed to use black jack,do you?I did advise a guy to use black jack when he was wanting to repair his sarkin felt from the inside.The reason i said black jack as silicone and other sealents are not compatible with bitumes...

Not enough pitch,I believe the minimum pitch is 17.5 and this is not even enough imo.There are some tiles that manufactures claim can go on low pitch roofs but its just asking for trouble imo.Either raise the pitch if practical or replace with some sort of flat roof weather it be felt or epdm.

Its quite normal for pollycarb sheets to make noises due to expansion/contracion as is other plastic products,gutterings,downpipes etc.There is nothing you can do about it.

lol it does take some getting of you hands,it seems to get everywhere :? For best results make sure area is dry and clean(as stated by previous poster)

You should get the roof done for appx £1000.
