OK, thanks - But you could tuck the underlay under the undercloak after the undercloak has been laid, or put the undercloak on after the underlay and battens have been laid. It seemed easier to me to put the undercloak on first, as you can stand in the roofspace etc. Would that be a plan...

Should I bed in the undercloak onto the verge before laying battens or after? Should I run the battens right uo and over the undercloak so that the verge slate mortar envelopes the batten or should the mortar steer clear of the batten? Should the underlay go part way over the end wall so...

... you know the one at the bottom of the slate? The middle two are for banging the nails into the battens, but what's that small hole in the middle at the bottomn of the slate for???

Thank you everyone

Trying to get my bits of metal together to see what I can get at scrappy. What's the metal old water pipes in this picture? I know the wwatse pipes are lead, but what's the 15mm type pipe? This is suspended ceiling metal - think its aluminium?? Are radiators worth taking to...

I have a wall with some brickwork where the lime mortar has failed near to ceiling joists and also some damp has meant that a portion of the wall needed taking back to brick removing the lime mortar. I am considering the options for the re-mortarting the bricks and plastering the wall, and...

Thanks noseall, i really meant the "top" wall plate that's attached to the "side" of the "vertical" wall - I may have called it the wrong thing (it's similar to ridge board if it were a house (but it's a lean-to), so i called it a wallplate (?). As I'm going into the "side" of the brick here...

I am constructing a small "lean-to", and I will be usine 10mm expanding rawbolts to attach the top wallplate to the wall. I will then cut the birdsmouth in the roof timbers to rest on this wallplate (the highest point of the lean-to. My question though, is do I use joist hangers to attach the...

Duff switch. The supply / load were fine because it had been working OK. I noticed the switch itself could be moved and by pushing it in the dim neon goes off, so changed it, and it's fine now.

Newly installed cooker switch appears to be dodgy. When switch is on, neon is very bright, when off neon slightly flickers/is dull. When off and dull, turning the cooker on makes the neon go out completely - no power to cooker though. Is it a dodgy switch that should be changed, or a...

I have done a little research on the net, as I am planning to repair the garden wall. 1. Current Situation Wall about 4.5 ft high made of stones with mortar, juts over a foot wide. One side has soil about 1.5 foot higher than the other. Wall is about 20ft long. Badly leaning away...

Does anyone have experience with these? I have semn a second hand one for sale, but I don't want the tenant to use the day units. If you wire up the unit for the restriocyted night supply, will it just work simply as a storage heater without having to wire up the unrestricted supply for the...

Thanks Londonboy, I have enjoyed it immensly, and even to my surprise found myself putting in calls to niceic, napit, elecsa a couple lof weeks ago to find out how much it would be to join and what would be involved, as I'm between jobs at the moment. I think I could get the C&G Level 2, and...

OK but what do you mean by visibile, and more importantly what do the regs say - a tundish would be visible in the attic, cupboard, or under the stairs if you took a look ... would that do? After all I wasn't planning to hide it ... Perhpas the best bet is to add an audio alarm as already...
