Hi - just wanted to see if people had any input on the options? Thanks

Thanks. I had a couple of roofers come in, still awaiting quotes for a number of options. Option 1. Repair existing - coat with the entire ACRYPOL POLYMA THREE COAT SYSTEM, fix up some seams and hope for the best. Pros: lowest cost, I get conflicting information about condition of zinc (some...

Hi, I have a flat roof covering the rear of our maisonette including a bathroom, kitchen and second room. It is a zinc roof that a few years ago started to get a bit leaky. I had roofers come in do a patch up job a few times (they put some coating over a part of it) however this seems to be a...

Hi I contacted these guys but they do not do small time residential contracts. If anyone knows of a good metal roofer in South London area please let me know. Thanks

Hi, There were only a few loose tiles (on the end) it's mostly the grout between tiles that was blown away when I power washed them, so while one or two tiles I have to re-glue the rest I should be able to just fill in between. Other maisonettes on the block also have the same tiles, some...

Hi, I added some blue chipping in the front of my house, and it seems that animal(s) are now using the front of my house as litter box? I am not sure if it is foxes, dogs or cats but wondering if there is anything I can put to prevent them from using the area as a liter box? Thanks

Hi, I have been living for 3 years in the 1900s style upper maisonette that has an old zinc flat roof covering the kitchen and 1 bedroom extension of the house with total area of approximately 40 sq meters. I had not had any issues with the roof until recently when last week I discovered a...

Hi, I recently restored the wood floorboards in my flat. This has left the area between where the floorboards begin and the entrance in rather unappealing condition - you can see the cement. What would you recommend that I install to cover the area? I look at some carpet/door risers but I do...

Hi Ken Many thanks for your info - very insightful. The removal of laminate and restoration of the floor will be done during work hours, so neighbors will not be at home I am not too concerned about the work itself but rather if it is worth putting mineral wool or insulation between the...

Hi, I am getting a company to dispose of old laminate and restore the pine wood floorboards in the first floor of the Victorian conversion. I have fairly sensitive neighbors downstairs, so anytime I end up playing music a little bit they get quite disturbed. The guys who are doing the...
