Like i said "shoulder nailed" :wink:

Just got a job to start.The roof in question has been on around 5 years.250sq m.The so called roofer did not strip the roof and then nailed plywood sheets directly onto the existing(i kid you not).The existing being felt and woodwall slabs :twisted: He then fitted a fibre glass roof on the...

I must admit the fakro windows do look ok,maybe someone on here can confirm quality?There is a popular diy outlet in the uk that sells a sky light that has a large rubber flashing that you stretch onto the window after fitting,these are total rubbish so beware of that type.I replaced a couple...

Take no notice,pva is a complete waste of time,botch job/cowboy job as im sure everyone on here will confirm.You might as well save your money than do that,honestly.Either re-roof or replace the defective tiles,anything else is money down the drain.Bit of advice,get a builder for building work...

WTF is that supposed to be,ref the hole?The felting in general is also to a poor standard,its not been done by a time served felt roofer thats for sure.The sheets are running the wrong way,if the felt has not been nailed under the joints on the slope it could slide/slip in hot weather(by the...

Shoulder nailed and as stated bottom hole is for copper clip/fixing disc.

There are others out there but velux are the best and for what they are they are not expensive.Ive came across some very poor imitations in my time.

NEVER use glue as it can sometimes be nigh on impossible to remove if you ever need to take it down,if it gets blocked for instance.Just use a litttle clear silicone. :wink:

I did not say you could not use pieces of tiles(read what i posted man).I know many people do,sometimes i do.what i did say the only reason people use pieces of tiles is so they dont use so much mortar.I did say there is absoloutley nothing wrong with just using mortar and advised op to do just...

This friday two teams meet on the football pitch,one is a muslim dominated Country,where chrisitans and none muslims live in fear,sharia law is rampant,its a breeding ground for terrorists THE OTHER IS ALGEIRA. :twisted:

Either side you have a tile,under the middle you have you timber,there is no way you mortar will damage the membrane.The only reason people add bits of tile etc is so you dont use as much mortar,this is the only reason.

@ daveholliday the only reason bits of broken tile/slate is used between the joints is to use less mortar,absoloutley nothing wrong with just using motar.

If it were mine i would simply do as regency said.Also you could probably get away without removing the bottom courses of slates.Acrypol is £45 per 5 litre tin but worth every penny,plenty on ebay if you cannot source localy.

I usually just fix the wall plate,fix a 6 x 2 along the back wall and fix my spars onto both and ive never had any problems.

Just put a good bed of compo(sand 3 cement1) under the joint,bed ridge onto and point.

job cant have been done correctly.It should also be noted the water could be getting in anywhere and traveling to find the easiest exit ie your light fitting.Without seeing it or at the very least pictures its hard to say whats causing the problem.

NOPE,NEVER.

2 layers of quality torch on felt,underlay/mineral but make sure its sbs not app.

Dispose of as stated by previous poster(my local council also lets diy tip it for free in skips if double bagged).Replace with plastic coated box profile roof sheets,any compatent DIYer can fix these and will last a life time if correctly fixed.Just call your local sheet supplier(NOT LOCAL...
