It looks like you've already got several problems that are caused by very poor design and build. are you saying that the whole roof is just ply painted with resin? Can't see what lasting very long. Why should you be fixing their mistakes? I'd be very surprised if you don't discover more shortly...

Could you move the doors up using the vertical adjustment, covering most of the gap, Is either that or take it off and reglue with smaller dabs or making sure they spread out properly.

Thank you. Leaves gathering between the fences and the shed at the rear and on one side have increased the dampness. I wondered if I could extend the roof right out to the fence line to prevent this? No neighbour world be impacted, the pitch of the roof would take any water and leaves into a...

Yes, thanks, that's part of my question: what to put between the slab and the shed joists. I was thinking of 100mm dense concrete blocks possibly topped with DPM. Also interested in plastic blocks)grids or legs, or concrete decking supports. How far apart should the blocks be?

Hmm. That might well be more sensible. I could also strip the roof and extend the overhang. I'm a bit worried that the panels are quite flimsy when taken out of the structure. Probably a job for the spring.

My shed floor is rotting. The floor is built direct on the concrete slab. The roof doesn't project much beyond the walls or edge of the slab. It is below some trees and close to fences on two sides, so leaves build up against the side and are not easy to clear. The shed ia built from wooden...

Hi, I topped up my CH system pressure last night and when I closed the CH return valve it began to drip from the valve screw that operates the valve. I have removed and flushed the valve but the drip continues. The boiler is a Vaillant Combi. The valve clips into boiler on one side and then has...

Hello there. I have been struggling with Crown's non drip satinwood paint. It has got contaminated with bits and despite straining it too many remain ruining the finish. Further, I found this jelly like thixotropic paint difficult to apply, and it also dried too quickly, preventing me brushing...

Yes, I know at least one wall of cabinets must come out to get the sub floor down but keep trying to think of a way to avoid it.

Perseverance and a good deal of cursing. A combination of removing the floor of the unit and or raising the units on either side to take the weight off the legs. This allows me to cut the chipboard joint and pull it out. Then I replace the legs on wood blocks.

Sorry, I mean pain to get the subfloor in place under cabinets. Leaks at the washing machine connection and stopcock gland.

Yes I know, but we're happy with the cabinets and countertops and probably not going to be in the house that long so loathe to take then out. I'm resolved to get the insulation and board out so no water is trapped as you suggest though. It will be a pain to get the new floor in with the...

Yes the leak is stopped, although a cupful of water leaked out of the front of the washing machine today.

Water seeped out the exterior walls at the DPC, which is approximately at the interior slab level. It may have seeped through overlapped joints in the DPM which were not taped. We think the upturned DPM formed a pool which filled with water and then leaked out at the end which did not have this...

Thanks for the reply. Here are some pictures. Gap i have cut in the plasterboard which was set into concrete slab. Is a continuous gap essential around the extension? It will be covered by the skirting. I feel some drafts coming through, any thoughts on sealing the gap prior to flooring...

Two slow leaks have led to a saturated chipboard subfloor in our kitchen extension, as well as destroying the engineered wood floor. We noticed water leaking out through the walls at the DPC. Construction of the floor is Concrete slab Thin blue membrane, visqueen Thick black membrane, DPM...
