Yes lol i realised that i've gone round the sockets rather than go under them with the tiles and use longer screws not greatly neat but the grout should help that as said only a small area and does look very nice.

Hello, Just a quick question, i'm currently pointing and painting my house i've already made the line by taking mortar out for the flashing, is there any harm in placing a part of the flashing into the hole and sealing it up before putting the veranda back up ? as i'm getting water in the wall...

My sockets do not have screws they are screwless and clip on covers brushed steel.

The one with the bars and cutting wheel doing L shaped is just impossible they snap and then that's tiles wasted. thanks.

Ok i got a cheap b and q tile cutter off gumtree, works fine for straight cuts but i can't seem to do L shapes so that i can tile around the sockets they keep snapping any advice or is a tile scribe needed. thanks.

Hello, I am tiling my kitchen using bevelled tiles, it's only a small area and i need to cut around 2 plug sockets but the reviews i've read of tile saws and manual saws scorers etc aren't very good, any advice on what cutter i could get from b and q without spending ££££ for like 4 tiles that...

Ok so i'm going down the taking mortar out route so i've created my line, plan is to use primer and stick the flashing into this gap cover it will cement and stick it over the pvc flashing as shown is this right way to do it.

ok i've sacked the water seal idea and started painting, now the flashing, i've gone into the mortar and created a nice gap can i still use self adhesive flashing and push it into this gap ? together with primer of course ?

I thought water seal would create a barrier to stop water getting in the brick ? so u think better to point and paint and then redo flashing.

here.

ok i've taken it all down need to sort the wall out first some pointing, painting and then sealing with water seal. this ain't good. http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq21/foleyaxle/20170809_201727_zpsgt5vhdyd.jpg

another important detail i should have mentioned i did not use primer with the tape just stuck the tape on i presume this would have allowed the water to soak in and penetrate behind ?

corrugated poly roof ?

not sure but if i have whats the solution ? but what i dont get is why i cant recreate the same issue with a hose pipe.

Ok updated, i've removed the sheets away from the beam and soaked it with a hosepipe but no water comes through the wall, i just wonder if water was getting trapped behind the beam and then soaking into the wall as it had no where to go ?

I'm at work at the minute so cant provide a pic, but i've done a little illustration on paint hope this explains it a little. thanks.

sorry let me explain again the wood beam i used was not straight as was most of them i saw at b and q etc, so 2 bolts are in half way but half are exposed as is the hole i believe this is where water is entering the kitchen as the leak is adjacent to these 2 bolts and the leak only occurs when...

I've just built a verandah, but now i have some water leaking into the kitchen through the wall, the beam i used the wood did not sit flush against the wall so the bolts were exposed but beam secure, i've used self adhesive flashing and expanding foam under the beam, which does not appear to...

done
