close up and then picture from afar.

thank you for your responses. I went up to measure the distance and it is at 300mm. Any idea of the cost for having the flue changed to going straight up (at the moment is comes out of the roof and then has vents all around it) or change to a horizontal to shoot outwards (not towards our...

Hi. We are having a loft conversion with a dormer built and we are concerned regarding the proximity of the flue to our dormer wall. A couple of months ago, our neighbor moved their boiler to the loft with the flue going out their roof. At the time, we queried how close the flue was to the...

Just got a visit from building control and he advised that the work had not been done correctly and the work must be corrected. Corners were not done as mentioned on this site and that there should be 2 parts to the work and one part was done incorrectly. So now to find a roofer and or get the...

We do have cavity walls and I'll question him on the cavity wall trays and I'll follow up on the tiles. I repeatedly questioned him on the type of tiles and he said they went to 12 degrees. Thankfully we have not had any other leaks....so far. It is so frustrating as we had a flat roof...

Thank you for the feedback. the side is not covered and I had wondered about that. Weather permitting, I'll have to try to get to the party wall side to see if it has the same issue. I've gone out this morning and checked that the overlaps are not 150mm as well as not flattened against the...

yes, it is just siliconed to the wall. should it be into the brickwork? that makes sense to me, if it should be. If it is okay to be in sections are the sections then fused together or are they only pressed together? The builder did do the roof and we had a leak earlier, but that was a...

We have a new extension which is 4.2m x 5m and a pitch of 14 degrees. We are using low pitch tiles that can go down to 12degrees. The problem is that we have a leak at 3 points - on both corners and in the middle just to the right of our upstairs window where the extension meets the house...

Pictures of roof

I have found out we have a cold roof design. The architect and building control have not been terribly helpful. They've just said that there should not be a cold draft going through. The builder said that he did the downlights so that they did not have to cut into the celotex, but this...

thank you for the feedback. The extension is 4.2 m x 5 m and has a pitched roof to 13 degrees. We put in 10 down lights and the insulation in total 125 celotex in total - I think 25 between rafters and 100 under, which could explain the cold as the denser part of the insulation appears to be...

Hi. This morning we woke up to a frosty morning and quickly went to look at our new extension roof. Our old lean to of an extension had no insulation and so having a new 'solid' roof was, to us, quite exciting. All around we say frost on our neighbors roof, but not ours. When I approached...

eaqWe are having an extension to our house built. Our builder has started building the walls and has added insulation. It has been damp with some light rain over the last 24 hours and he left the cavity walls uncovered. I went and felt the insulation along a side wall, where our doors will...

there is no connection to a chimney. Their room connects to a bedroom on the other side, where I know they do smoke from time to time.
