Why cant they put a ladder up to have a look at the problem? Your house is two storey you say, ground floor and first floor. Do you live on a steep hill so dangerous to put a ladder up? Scaffolding price doesnt seem crazy but is it needed for what may be a broken tile or slipped flashing?

Was just going to suggest that! Agree with Woody. Get black polythene instead of the blue for less noticible appearence. If you batten the polythene down around the sides of the garage roof (not the roof surface!) if doesnt need any weighting down & doesnt look too bad if you do it neatly.

Hi, have an LG50PS3000, 16 months old. 3 weeks ago picture occasionally would go slightly fuzzy & pink tint. Then tv would switch itself off & have to be switched back on. Last week it switched itself off & would not come back on at all. Well, it would light up the screen for a split second...

What channel did you change the rf output to? If it was set to ch68 change it to ch21, ie a good change in frequency. Could also be poor quality coax with poor shielding. Try not to run any coax along the length of any electric cables, only run across them.

Yes, flue will need to be twin wall, so i believe 50mm to combustable material! 450mm for single skin flue. Also believe the decorative hearth can be 12mm without need for constructional base, as long as the stove base temp does not exceed 100 degrees C. Tell me if im wrong!

Hi guys, this is a new one on me! I have been scouring but cant find a definitive answer that will allow it to be done at all. I need to install a stove in a timber construction summerhouse. The floor is timber with concrete slab under & i know this timber must be cut out & constuctional...

Floorboard saw is ideal for cellotex. Shorter and stronger than a Jack Saw, plus has teeth on its nose. Good for plastic too! http://www.screwfix.com/p/irwin-jack-floorboard-saw-12tpi-13-330mm/30120

Skipper386, ive sent you a message. (Top of page).

Agree with Noseall & SRE for all points. For the fillet, use off-cuts from your 18mm ply, good lengths obviously not a jigsaw puzzle. You could have several options if you really had to have a 'gutter' under the tiles: Form lead or even run a batten as a gutter about 3'' from the tiles...

Havent fitted grp fascias so cant comment there. Upvc does the job fine and you can get it in black if you want ( at nearly double the price of white). You may be better off not removing the existing timber fascias if theyre solid as you may do more harm than good to the rafter ends. If you do...

I do agree with you Noseall re BC. What about the dpm regards the pillar. Under the foundation and fold up? What about this pillar dpm and the fact the rest of the room dpm will be laid under the insulation. What should be done where these two dpm's 'cross' at different heights?

I only want advice on how to do one floor! BR not involved. 8)

Is that rockrool the new rock'n' roll or does rock rule maaan? dont get you handbag out ! :mrgreen: Takes cover...

I did out an outbuilding for a customer a couple of years ago and we studded the walls with 2''x2'' ,filled with 50mm polystyrene insulation and plasterboarded over. Made new celing with new wallplate & joists, insulated with rockwool & boarded over with an air gap above the rockwool. Small...

Hi, im from the roofing side of the forum :shock: Im doing up a house for myself and first thing is sorting out the floor. I am doing all the work myself :shock: :shock: I dont know everything but im pretty handy, being a roofer :?: Not too proud to ask & learn so i can do things for...

Hi Ekon, i can inspect the roof for you and WILL find the problem. I cant work for free, but my advice is. Ive messaged you my details top of page.

Mr Hertsdrainage2010 ( did you win that name at a gay beauty pageant? :mrgreen: :wink: ). Being just a humble roofer and never too old to learn i say, whats your method of gutter fixing. First i fix the stop end clip close to the tile, fix the outlet at a rough guess to form the level then...

External walls can be insulated from the outside by fitting polymer boards and k-rending over them, then insulate the roof and garage celing :shock:

Masona, is that flue projecting 4.5m at least above your stove as it should? Dont know if you are aware but you (and Richard C) should not burn coal & wood at the same time as the coal produces sulphuric acid and any moisture in the wood will cause the flue to rot. Plus the conditions for...

The angle of the zinc valley doesnt look as if it would overshoot the gutter, but could the valley be trimmed back so it just overhangs the gutter? Or you could fit a good size snow box/ hopper here and downpipe?
