my prefered option would be a decent air con unit

looks like the old lead was reused to me, there could be holes or cracks in it

the outlet or spiggot they have used requires a certain sized hole borer to cut a hole in the gutter and then a piece is screwed through the top to hold it all together. my guess is that they havent had a hole borer with them so theyve drilled a small hole and just glued the bottom piece of the...

Personally I don't like bullnose I prefer the square edge, bullnose is dearer and doesn't look as good IMO, I would say never let them leave the old wood behind, no matter bs you get fed :mrgreen: , book time off or get someone to watch the installation too. GAP/homeline, eurocell, swish...

I don't know how everywhere will look the same when they do different house types and sizes, someone has to keep up with the demand for more houses, and they seem to have kept going for a long time

mass developers are under pressure to be as 'economical' as possible too, they also have to look at how available materials are towards what they estimate they will need. bricks are around 12 months from order at the mo, so they may render more houses and use less brick walls etc. they all build...

you can get little caps that pop into a hole (that you drill) that hold the parts together, but the bends shouldnt leak, they may be the wrong way round. IMO if it needs glue to stop the leak then summat aint right

look into metrotile

fix the box gutter to their wall then grind out above and lead flash down into the gutter, you can get poly bars to suit the poly from the manufacturers which will keep the joints water tight. alternatavely price up a leanto conservatory roof with a box gutter with a conservatory fabricator

the dearest parts are the brown fascias & soffits, which back in the day some were just 'brown' upvc boards, and yes they faded. nowadadys they are 'foiled' with a coloured sheet in your chosen colour/pattern and they last a very long time. but the gutters are still one colour plastic and may...

cut the felt roughly level with the top of the fascia board because it is probably perished past there, then slide eaves trays under the remaining felt. make sure you overlap the trays. have you used over fascia vents or soffit vents?

is it holding water around the pipe? if so you have your first objective

are those markings on the plastic or metal?

i would suggest that if the window needs adjusting and maybe harder to lock then maybe this could put more pressure on a gearbox.

what about a fascia board at the right height and cut the lip down to suit, leave the board and flashing on incase of asbestos. the cill above will drip any water from above away from the building

i would say homeline (gap) is better than bond it solvent cleaner, out of the two i have used

years ago i saw someone using an electric 9" grinder with the black disc doing one of these brickouts, thedisk smashed and threw the grinder straight at his leg and he cut straight to the bone in an instant. messy!

if there is an adapter get one, if not run the smaller into the larger on a bed of decent sealant and push down and fix the top edges to keep it down. or get a stopend for each gluethem together and cut out for the flow.
