Thanks Taylortwocities and Stoday. Will check out the link. Yes, i am well aware of work in kitchens, but i have an electrical background and local BCO has stated i can do the work myself providing i either get it inspected and tested or come under their inspection and test regime. Most...

Hi all Firstly thanks for any help. I am in mid throw converting my existing kitchen into a bathroom, with all the fun of moving existing supplies. The electric Meter will be moved by local supplier at a price of about £450 but i have to do all the ground work. Great, i cant move a...

If its any help, just doing a 4.3 metre x 4.3 metre single storey extension with a hip end roof, only thing i have not done myself is brickwork, ( i know my limitations !) so far this has cost us circa £9.7k, started off with a budget of £12k Three walls, three windows and a door Did my...

What....instead of having been built by jerries you mean :P Sorry,couldnt resist it !

Can speak from experience here,being a veteran mouse trapper ! We had an infestation when next door did a loft conversion, managed to bag a total of 21 before it went quiet. Dont bother with metal traps, i never ever had any success with those, but got for the wooden type "little nipper"...

Hi all Firstly thanks for any replies. Ok, here goes...I have a newly laid concrete internal floor, recently laid which is drying nicely, with no cracks yet ! Now, wifey suffers with a skin condition which we know to be agitated by cobalt and chromium, which if i am correct may be in...

Thanks again noseall.....all taken in for future use. And thanks for the link Alastair.

The first ones the worst to get out but once done the rest is easy. Being a small type of tile you could get it through the battens from the inside. The type of tile had a lip completely along its back edge and not just two nibs, so plenty to hold on too. As regards the safe area...

Also whilst on the subject, i have a copy of the Building construction handbook, latest issue, which i use for reference. Its handy if you are not sure, and its been a great help. Now, looking at the various side views of ridge tiles the drawings show a tile slip under the ridge and in the...

Yes noseall.....the type of tile i had was small enough to be able to remove it and change it through the batten from the inside, with careful manipulation it was possible. Not possible with roofing felt but possible without. I think the tiles were call john Bull, or brown ..I am sure...

Thanks noseall. Overlooked the angle grinder option....may give that a go ! Top stuff :P

Any chance you could give us the "heads up" on what type of boiler :lol: Ok I'll get me coat

Hi all Can anyone suggest a way of removing hip and ridge half round tiles without breaking them. They are not loose and would like to try and save them for re use if possible. I need to take them off to form a valley close by. I thought about a brick saw through the motor between...

Look at it as a bonus.....my second house was 1930s and also had no felt. It also had no leaks either and if it did you would see where from. The best bit was that you could change a broken tile from the inside and no need for a ladder.

On the pic of the roof outside, whats with the angle of the tile just to the left of the aerial pole, Im no roofer but the tile in the pic looks suspect to me. Its the one between the two air bricks, about 4 or 5 rows up. The others are sat down flat but not that one. Just a long shot

Thanks Haydn. Someone did tell me, but i have forgotten. I think they are clay tiles, as they dont break like concrete. I intend to go get some reclaimed ones locally to match in better with the main roof. No doubt a local site may help. Out of interest, is it generally cheaper to...

Oh and can any one identify the tile type from the pic On the back of the tile it says Kingsbury Tamworth If it helps Thanks Tufty

Thanks yet again noseall. Have progressed today, and the pic below shows progress mid way. I have fitted all valley jacks this side, and i have run a vee of felt 1000mm wide between the main roof and the new roof , bringing the breathable membrane from the new roof over the vee to...
