Just out of interest really, seeing your are in Scotland are building control happy with the omission of sarking.

Emailed them on Saturday, awaiting a reply, local roofer suggesting stainless screws with plastic caps.

Wondering if any one can help me source the plastic pins (black) that go in the side of cloak verge tiles to help secure them. Need about 40-50, Builders merchants (J-----s) not very helpful and tried to sell me 40 tiles just so I could get the pins. Thank you

Sky are not very good at passing information like this to existing customers. I too paid for a premium package to get the benefits of Sky+ for months, unaware it had been dropped. :evil:

I no longer pay the £10 fee and have no premium packages to enable the use of Sky+. I think you still have to pay the the premium if you have a Hi-def boxe.

If your using that 19mm spanner and its a good fit on the nut, it's more than likely 12mm rod.

Thanks all, line it'll be then

Just wondering what the preferred method for spacing tiling batons is? Seen some builders using a chalk line, another suggestion was to use the bottom baton as your datum and keep measuring up from there, I was thinking of making a gauge stick to the correct length! Thanks

A lot of commercial fishermen wear these, or else the yellow ones on this Page the above can also be seen there.

Your building wrap will probably come in 2.6Mtr wide roll, makes it easier to cover a panel. I think I paid around £88 for 50mtr red Frameshield.

Cheers lads, it is coverboard and 10mm not 9 :oops: Its leftovers from another extension, price was right and it will cover the old wooden fascias. Just to go of on a tangent the extension is also getting UPVC fascia, visited 3 merchants today for quotes and every one suggested putting up...

An update for anyone that's interested, Bought an intelli plug from Maplins, just as I thought the current draw from the transformer is enough to keep the peripheral socket live on initial plug in. But, after the first cut with the saw the peripheral socket does then go into its standby...

I have some 200mm x 9mm fascia, 150mm would really do me, is it OK to cut along its length?, the cut edge will be hidden with cloak verges.

What would the equivalent be if kingspan was to be used?

Thanks Tony one point, would this be the new tiles you are speaking about here? Other than that I get what you are saying, thanks again for the help

Thanks noseall clears that one up. Added some pics for you Tony, if it helps to clarify things. The roof is sarked with OSB by the way. Looking up the roof towards the ridge Close up Perhaps a little to far away to see any detail

Getting ready to put some flashing on the roof, couple of questions if you don't mind. I have an approx 200mm difference in roof levels (new roof lower than existing) therefore I will need to flash between new and old. New roof just sits approx 10mm above lower edge of the existing barge...

Notice your location is Aberdeenshire, Airylea motors in Aberdeen specialize in pump recons they may be able to help, there is also Turner Diesel who offer the same service. http://www.airylea.co.uk/ http://www.turner-diesel.co.uk/index2.html

I've come a little unstuck forming the valleys on my extension and unsure what my next move should be. Couple of pics to help Little unsure what to do after the small truss, should I just frame onto the sarking (follow the pink string)so the sarking can be secured to this...

Thanks for the ideas, think I'll try the remote control option have a spare one lying around somewhere. Like the idea of the inteliplugs Woody but the saw is 110v and unsure if the plug would ever go to its standby state as the transformer is always drawing a little current, which may just be...
