So what do you suggest we do? if not tarpaulin? and how to prevent it becoming a sail ?I have seen lots of these plastic sheetings or tarpaulins on top of buildings attached to scaffolding so it is possible to do it. We could buy corrugated roofing sheets these have to be fixed somehow and are...

Thanks for all your messages. I have got prices for strong tarpaulin on the net from Tarpaflex uk the house size is approx 12mx12m .The tarpaulin is heavy duty 250gr 15mx18m price £365 inc vat. That would cover the roof it has holes every 500mm so can be tied to scaffolding.I can buy 4mx8m...

Yes it is trussed roof ,it could be done but would make slow the work.I can source plastic from the net ,not expensive but the scaffolder said it is not the cost of material but the time to tent the house. I will get other quotes now to see if anybody can do it for less.

We are having completely new roof built ,the old roof will be taken down first. The house will have scaffolding all the way around .we had quote from one scaffolder to tent the house (in case it rains )of £5000 it is not large house so we are desperate to find cheaper alternative.We have to...

We are having the main switch to fusebord upgraded to 100amp from 80amp and 9.5 kw new electric shower fitted which requires larger cable to fuse box as it is not sufficient at present, is this work notifiable ?

Why do I need to know ? So I will employ competent person! One should be able to check they are not telling porkies but if you cannot check their registration number what is the point of N.A.P.I.T? It should be easy to check like "Gass Safe "registration is. I always check their heating...

Is there a cheaper obtion than using celotex preglued to plasterboard ,say using exortherm 100mm deep between the rafters with 50mm airspace then drylining and skimming over?Getting similar insulation without the higher cost?

So if we dryline over the rafters can the drylining be skimmed over?and what is the advantage of drylining instead of plasterboading?

Can some one tell me what is the difference with drylining and plasterboarding? My architect specified dryling to sloping roof in our new roofconversion. Why drylining instead of blasterboarding it?

Thank you for all your support ,I called WB this morning and they will send engineer on monday to fix the boiler.YOu were correct !! My heating engineer is doing something more profitable as he cannot be botherd to come to service the boiler. I will have to try to find someone else today,what...

I have not spoken to WB ,I will give them a ring first thing in the morning.Their service engineer is likely to be much more expensive than the one who fitted the boiler. My bed is above the boiler ,I hope I am alive in the morning and not blown up by the boiler!

Thank you for your advise the boiler was fitted 21.6.2008 .So the warranty finished 21.6.2009 and it is due for its first service now. WB cannot be that sure of their boiler reliability giving just one years warranty. The commissioning engineer who fitted it is not WB trained. If I call the...
