Search Google for 'Buuilding Control drawings' for people that do them. Also try Yellow Pages. I paid £475 for mine, but one firm quoted me £2000.

I bought Silverline site lighting tripod (500w x 2) and its been OK. It is starting to look a bit sorry for itself now as its been knocked over a few times causing bits to fall off etc, but is still fit for purpose, if a little flimsy, but then it cost £20. On the other hand I bought some...

I used 'Diy-EPDM' on the internet. Suited my needs and price was competetive. When I opened my box containing the adhesives, The 10 litre waterbased adhesive tub had popped (probably due to courier being over enthusiastic) covering remaining contents with glue. Called Diy-EPDM and they...

Hi there Ive just done an EPDM rubber roof on the flat part of my extension, about 45 m2. The waterbased stuff was for the flat part, you roller it on then lay the rubber over it where gravity holds it there until the waterbased glue dries. I used the contact adhesive on the upstands...

Thanks very much for your advice. 450mm lead it is then!

Hi all When doing a valley in lead, does it have to be any specific width? Also, is there a specific amount that the tile overlaps the lead or sufficiently to be watertight? Thanks in advance

Thanks for that. I think the Trend one is a slightly smaller version of what I need. Same shape tho' Now some of these bits are saying fixed head router recommended, but surely I should be ok with a normal router if I take it easy? Mines got variable speed so I won't go mad.

Do you know what Aunsh, you may have just hit the nail on the head! Many thanks for that, I think that one you suggested it as near as dammit! Failing finding something even closer, I'll order that one. Thanks again.

Thanks for the replies. I have a 1/2 inch router and it is not skirting board. It is trim board that goes up the side of the house that you put fibre cement soffit board onto then tile. I am doing an extension, self build. This is just one very small part of. The house is only 10...

Hi all I need to find a router bit that will achieve the same bead edge as per the pictures. I have been scouring the inetrnet but cannot find one to match. The nearest I have come across has been bullnose/half round bits and Ive seen some bead edge bits but they are too small. Any ideas...

Fixed! http://media.diynot.com/101000_100928_71365_13568005_thumb.jpg http://media.diynot.com/101000_100928_71366_23717712_thumb.jpg

Yeah I get it now! Cheers all

OK. Correct me if I am wrong but shouldnt the bonnet tile be at such an angle that its edges where it meets the tile either side are vertical. Or do you fit the bonnet to the pitch then cut the tile that butts up against each side to the resultant angle?

Many thanks for the replies. Im doing the roof myself so I am grateful for the guidance. These tiles are clearly not compatible with the pitch so Im go to go for ridge tiles instead. I was just hoping to use the bonnets as I like the look of them, but such is life!

Hi there I am retiling the roof of my new extention and have bought some new hip tiles, however they seem to be the wrong shape/pitch for my roof. This is how they are looking when fitted: http://media.diynot.com/101000_100928_71237_93806612_thumb.jpg...
