+1 we live and learn :D

Big national firm = grab your money and run.... Seen 2 jobs done by the mentioned firm in my street and to say they were awful is being nice

Please can someone just check that this is sufficient for when i'm insulating the garage. Also attached a pic :D Single skim brick wall with 3 piers (I think that's what they're called) Attach Battons to wall Put insulation between battons - making sure the piers are covered as well...

8m long by 2.6m wide. pitch is from the width

get 3 or 4 different local firms round to quote you. avoid the big national ones at all costs! always good if you can get some recommendations from friends as well.

we've had quotes to put a tiled pitched roof on our garage and they're all around £4500. 8m x 2.6m

I didn't realise those catches would be so brittle and easy to break :shock:

Ok thanks. It has been fine for 3 years. The dripping has only started in the last 2 weeks since it's been serviced

Hello, Just had the boiler serviced a couple of weeks back and I now seem to have a drip coming out of the pipe that comes out the top of the boiler into the attic and out of the roof. The drip is coming from the white pipe in the attic where the brackets hold the joins together and not...
