I will check with angle finder tomorrow. But catlad you are probably spot on! What are my options?

Ok so it appears its not 40 degrees..its a alot shallower as per datas observation and hence the problem im facing. Short of rebuilding roof is there any way to still use the plain tiles as ive taken delivery already!

Pitch is around 40 degrees. I will put the fascia to support once ive got the setting out correct. I have actually screwed down the eaves and 1st course of tiles temporarlily just to help with settting out.. So eaves and first course is full tight to battens. Is this the correct height? Or is...

Thanks for the help guys..good pdf and blagard thanks for those helpful tips. I have picked up the tile and halfs. Made a start today and run into a problem with the eaves course and next courses.. Ive setout battens to check that im doing it ok...put eaves tile first then a full tile...

Hi all, Looking for a bit of clarification for a porch lean to roof using redland plain tiles. Does the first row of tiles have to start with 2 tiles over lapping each other.so pretty much on top of each other? I have seen roofs where you can see teo tiles stacked ontop of each other if...

Sorry this isnt the pic of actual roof..just posted to show how the front pitch is. I have attached a pic of actual roof and what it looks like from the rear. So i want to drain through the pitch/where rafters are to the front.

Hi all, Ive got a front elevated pitched roof on q garage similar to attached pic. The actual garage front roof can only drain rainwater to the front..the back extension roof is too high to drain towards the garden side. So drainage has to come through the front pitch and then through soffit...

Thanks chaps. SparkWright - Had a problem with rodents in house, so assuming it is the rodents as was working fine for many years. Kitchen all tiled so gonna be a lot of work to try and identify damage. Thanks 333rocky, seems like a good idea.

Hi all, Got a radial in the kitchen for sockets. Rodents have eaten cable so no longer working. Have identified last working socket. Can I run cable on worktop in trunking to get the other sockets live? The back boxes are sunk into wall at the moment. Would I have to use surface mount back...

Hi all, Normally it's recommended to have a compacted hardcore base, then 100mm concrete slab followed by the 100mm of insulation before screeding over UFH pipes. Just wondering if MOT type 1 hardcore is used, if the hardcore can be compacted to the required depth and then insulation on top of...

Cheers lads. I know it sounds absurb, but just thought it might work considering it's done internally! In regard to it being rained on, can easily put the jumbo roll I've still got left over of the DPM ontop of the insulation so no water gets to it. Sorry not in E.Sussex. I may try a section...

Hi, I've got a solid concreted area as a patio. However the step down from the house to the outside is more than a foot. I would like to raise the existing level. I know I can put down hardcore and compact before laying 4" on concrete as the final finish. However I have loads of sheets of...

Thanks St0rmer66. Very odd then. The outlet pipe has been removed temporarily, so that removes the possibility that there is not sufficient slope, yet no discharge from there, just dribbles out of where the trap is inserted. So overflow fills up to max, then decides not to exit through the...

Is the syphonic trap's functioning dependent on any sort of negative pressure being present to periodically release the condensate? Anyone know exactly how these traps work? Is the function independent of anything else within the system?

Thanks lads. Yes am aware of this. Theres not many ways to fit this thing, its either in there or not, so was wondering what else could cause this issue. No blockages, so must be something else.

Hi, Langleyheating, I disconnected the overflow pipe from the boiler to eliminate possible pipework blockage. However its still leaking from condensate trap connection.

Hello, Got a Vaillant 630. Seems to be problem with the condensate trap. Has been pushed and twisted in, rubber seal is on. Once trap is full, should periodically discharge contents into overflow. However once it is full it just starts leaking from where it is inserted rather than going into...

Single oven 2.85KW. Hob 4.6KW

Thanks Taylortwocities. Ok I see. Is it ok if I take 2.5mm T+E from one of the supply points to an isolation switch to one of the appliances. So 6mm coming into the dual outlet plate. Say oven directly into the plate. Then 2.5 from the plate to the hob going into an isolation switch, and then...

Thanks Taylortwocities, I've got one of these, but it only takes one 6mm and the other two connections are for the flex. My oven and hob are too far apart to connect both into one of these. Also do both oven and hob need isolation switches? Or is it ok for the mcb to provide the protection? If...
