Thanks all. Section lengths are variable, two are at 1.6m and the others well below 1.5m. Laps are about 50mm. I didn't see the tape colour on the rolls unfortunately. I have a micrometer gauge which I have used on them (I can access the flashing out of the windows), the readings are variable...

Thanks. Sigh... perhaps it's the old lead layer underneath which has made it a bit uneven when hammering it down... It might not look quite as nice, but no one can see it really - are there any technical problems with a surface slightly 'dented' in places? Once it's been put on, how would I be...

Hi all, I'm looking into buying a house. I'll do a survey of course, but I find that surveyors' reports are useless in some ways - they won't give clear advice or statements, or do any investigations at all... Just "you need to investigate this further"... The house has an extension above the...

Hi Clemenzina, I hope you or someone is still following this thread and can help with a couple of queries I have: (a) how are the wireless receivers powered? Do they have to be connected to the live and neutral inside the boiler? If so does this mean that the receiver has to sit inside the...
