Hi thanks for the response ... do you mean that it did not have opening function ? And are you reasonably sure about that ? There seemed to have been some kind of hinge but possibly that was just to lift from the top for maintenance.

Hi. With this kind of rooflight is it poss to change or repair or remove the motors to lengthen or shorten the opening size? Thanks

Hi. I have a question about an old type of roof light. Having a discussion as to whether this thing was ever designed to open and how the opening would work, size of opening. Looking at the flashings doesn't seem possible. Sorry photos rubbish but got no others. Thanks if any veterans...

I believe that prevention of fire escape that previously existed, and due to the design of the roof if an attempt was made the escapee would have to walk through a very narrow walking route barely big enough for a foot just next to the opening which is more than 2m across and 80cm high...

Do these apply to freeholders, for instance if in the lease for the property that the freeholder owns it says something about flooring materials required to be used ... does that apply to freeholders or can the freeholder void anything in the lease at will? I don't quite understand their...

@Designs.3DR It's not the motors, it's the fact that we lose privacy because it was the quiet part of the property now there is a 2mx1m skylight opening there so all thenoise from the flat downstairs come straight into the flat, the noise transfer from the other flat is the problem - the...

Neighbours have installed without planning permission a arge skylight 2m x 1m that opens, its on their ground floor extension roof. It's literally 3" from my bedroom window round the back. Previously there was a skylight which did not open. Needless to say it's made a lot of difficulty for us...

I don't get the logic of warm roofs. Is it just to convince people to completely change their roof design and make a lot of money ?!! (that's a joke okay) If you put a vapour barrier down above the ceiling ... okay where is the vapour in the dwelling gonna go? Anybody think about this? It's...

Nobody knows why these problems occur, even from large companies and professionals ... and it seems nobody is doing any actual testing of different roof systems. For instance what is the change in temperature on the outside and inside of the sheet materials as the sun hits it? Is the problem...

That is exactly what it is, and I would as the utter garbage called "OSB" is another one

OSB doesn't look strong enough to take a deck resting on it. What about doing half thickness ply, half thickness OSB ?

Thanks for the answers ... and the balustrade can be fitted as part of a deck without further support as well? Another question is, is there a better surface than GRP that is fireproof, for BBQs etc..? Is there a flexible concrete with membrane or something like that? Cheers

Planning is no problem there are a few of these in adjacent properties. What would you recommend for the easiest way to convert it into a balcony? Cheers

Only got photo right now, there's a tiled roof with attic space. I'm thinking to strip it down put a grp roof on and turn it into a patio. I am thinking about how to fix the decking balustrade so it's solid. If piers go through the roof to connect with the structure below, how to waterproof...

Hi. If a 1st floor patio is done over a fibreglass roof, and it has decking ... does the deck just rest on the fibreglass and bolted to ... in this case it would be a patio 6x3m and the deck could be bolted to 2 walls in an "L" shape ... is that sufficient, or does it need to be bolted through...

Thanks but the heads are very flat ... do you think if I put a crowbar under I could lever it up gradually?

Hi, and Happy New Year. I have to get under the Victorian floorboards to lay insulation, but there are hardboard sheets on top with about 30 nails each. Is there a way to get these sheets off without destroying them that anyone can recommend? Thanks

I don't know what you mean? They do generate power ! Perhaps you can explain.

Ha ... you have nothing to say. It is after all not very common for people to put their cosy view of the world on the line. It is easy to stay under the duvet and imagine everythign is going to be alright !!!
