Yawnnnnnnnnnnnn.

There is no need for a DIYer to buy feb mix.Washing up liqiud will do no harm whatsoever.No need to buy feb to use a few drops then let it sit in the garage for 20 years.To the OP if you plan on using the rest of the feb mix some time soon then buy some,If not then take no notice of databall...

That will not last,it will move eventually.The only way to repair and it be 100% effective and for it to last is from the top side.Anything else is tempory aka botch job.

Silicone is not compatible with bitumas roofing felts.Will not stick.A short term repair could be acheived with blackjack,trowling grade.I must stress "short term".Any repair that would last needs to be done from the top side really. :wink:

I always use plastering sand but others dont,personal preferance.3-1 mix is fine,use feb or washing up liquid mixed with your water,you will find it alot easier to work with..Try bedding them one day and point another day. :wink:

TBh i would not even do the job.The last time i worked on such a roof was a nightmare,2 valleys,never again,having to knock the ripper under the slates with a hammer :cry: .

As long as its fitted to the marrks i mentioned it wont go anywhere.

This stuff is ideal for what you need and easy to fit,just make sure if you have sarkin felt that it goes underneath, http://www.fasciasonline.co.uk/ubbink-eaves-protection-system---1500mm-x-190mm-652-p.asp

Need dimensions and pictures would be helpfull.

I understand what you mean but asbestos,powder,dusty=health hazzard.My advice would be get rid.To get anything to stick its going to have to be cleaned from all dust/loose parts etc and by the time youve done all that and taken into account the risk you might as well take it out and be done...

Thats your problem me thinks=Builder come roofer,to you an old cliche "jack of all trades,master of none".

Yup like i said more red tape and the ones that have to bear all this are us reputable tradesman.We are the ones who play by the rules yet all this red tape aimed at stopping cowboys only effects us not them.You cant kill a snake by jumping on its tail.Clamp down on the cowboys,they are all well...

THANKS!!!! you aint got my bill yet? :lol:ill be sure to ask pc advice as my pc skills are probably worse than you DIY skills :oops: .

Renove and replace.

Yup but once again the ones that it effects are the honest reputable roofers.Yet more red tape.Maybe they should try clamping down on the cowboys?dont know about your area but cumbria is rife with cowboys.One gypoe has 3 huge adds in the yellow pages each one has about 5 telephone numbers.Not...

Seems a bit harsh,you cant expect the customer to know can you.I agree the roofer should have know but thats hardly the OP fault.The inspecter sounds numb if you ask me,soffit vents in facsia :roll: ive seen many things in my time but never that.I do believe they are called soffit vents as they...

Just use bog standard clear silicone.The stuff you mentioned is way overpriced.Try your local upvc supplier or failing that builders merchant.I pay £2 for mine,you should be able to pick it up no more than £3. :wink:

Your inspecter sounds like she has not got a clue whats she is talking about.Soffit vents in your fascia and remove ALL your ridge :roll: where do they find these people?Do they advertise or just trawl care in the community programmes for suitable candidates? :lol:

Well its not going to fix it self and it wont get any better :wink: .Chances are what could have been a 50 quid job could end up tuning into a 500 quid job or worse.
