Builder/roofer = Builder who trys his hand at roofing=Painted every 2 years(absoloute rubbish),steer away from that .There are many coverings i would suggest 18 mm ply(sounds like currently chipboard thats kaput) and 2 layer of High performance torch on felt,cap sheet being mineral.You want sbs...

I have "coolag" now known as celotex aka kingspan(i think :?: ) in my loft 40 mm(its that size because it was free),between the joists and the spars,i dont even have any gaps for airflow :shock: but then again it was fitted back in the day :wink: Works good for me

£1280 is still very cheap(I wouldnt enetertain it fot that price) but then again some people have no work on and in that situation you better of out making some thing than sitting at home making nothing.Like alsiter said,get more quotes.

£1600-1800. But as stated by mw roofline just get 18mm pvc fascia then there is no need for timber.

Thanks for letting me ponder,Im now pondering,I shall continue to pondor,i shall let you know the outcome of my pondering. :idea:

You really have not been taking your medication have you :wink: Does it really take 15 years to serve your time where you come from?Then again you do pay two and a half grand per ton for green slate :lol: .

First off appoligies for my mistake,i read his post wrong,secondly Durh i said slates are best have you not took you medication again.Im one of the few people that is time served at both :lol::

Also if it was done by a professional it certanly would not move.As for the birds nests?he has not fitted the stopper on the bottom of the first unit.Me also thinks he has just fitted it to the existing render.

I do beg to differ = felt roof 15-20 years max,not so, flat roof on my dads house is 29 years old and still going strong,bouder 2 layer :wink: Felt roofs have a bad name because of the jokers doing them.At the end of the day slate is best but sometimes flat roofs must be done.For the record im...

He has already stated that its down to the price that he is going for a flat roof. :roll:

Get it felted with a top spec system by a reputable "felt" roofer and it will last 30 years.Icopol techno torch with grooves(sbs) is very good,google it as long as its layed onto a decent underlay the jobs a good un.

If they are a nice tight fit nothing,if they are not so tight fitting then a bit of clear silicone but never glue incase you ever need to remove for whatever reason,blockage etc.

The felt work is of poor quality and whoever felted it has started felting on the wrong part of the roof,He started where he should have finished.Also the copings should have been removed,felted up/under then copings refixed.Saying that the roofer is not liable for the roof ponding not unless...

It cant be done from the inside and chances are any water that got to the felt would probably come inside.

Its seems to be the correct flashing around the flu but of greater concern is the state of the felt.The piece of lead seems to be in place as the flashing was probably not covering to bottom tile enough.A few more pics would be handy.

:cry:

I left myself wide open for that :oops: LOL i just stretch in such cases,heave,stretch but in all seriousness silicone is not to difficult to remove and there really is no need to add a screw.

Beanz meanz heinz 8) I have since been talking to mate who has fitted these farco windows.He says they are ok and every bit as good as a velux???As i have never personaly fitted them i would not know but i would now give them consideration.

To remove at a later date will not be a problem,ive done it and all you need to do is twist it.Thats why i never use glue as ive tried to remove ones that are glued and its a bad head.A screw could easily be removed but its simpler to use silicone.Agreed if screwed it will not go any where and...

Your wasted as a roofer you should be a comedian but then again i suppose village idiot is pretty close.By the way who uses gripfix?you? :roll: PS,Shoulder holed/nailed is the correct term.
