I don't think that there is any water running down now, I think the green staining is from before the roof was fixed.

There is a small coalhouse on the back of my house I want to use as a utility room but first I need to prevent it getting so wet inside. I have tried adding an airbrick and just done the roof because felt and tiles were damaged. I still get damp on the walls which I think can only be...

Cooker didnt come with cable so used the old one. Just cooked beef stir fry and didnt die so it must be ok!

Yes, but I am assuming that the plugs need sealing anyway even if this is condensation?

What about the missing plugs from the injection holes, can I buy some or just silicon seal?

Bed was against the wall. Guests staying for the first time in this room. (More water vapour from then and extra showers). Not noticed it before and not really any marks on the wall paper to suggest this has happened in the past. We do get a lot of condensation on the windows so this is...

I still have to trim the membrane, at the moment it sticks out under the undercloak. I presume I should of cut it off to finish under the cloak because now it will be a pathway for water? What should I do now? Just cut it as close as I can and maybe skim over with mortar?

Whats the chance that water is getting in through the edge of the roof and sitting on the DPC?

Just found this in the spare bedroom: This is outside: Its my understanding that there is an original DPC which is the black line and then there has been something injected as well. The black DPC seems to be at about the same level as the top of the skirting board. I did...

Disconnected from the cooker control unit then I ripped the rivetted plate off and disconnected from the cooker.

Change of plan. Im just going to turn off the power and cut the cable.

Failed at the first hurdle. How do I remove this plate?

Not ideal weather for doing a roof! Just need to tidy up tomorrow. will post a few pics. Thanks for your help everyone!

"Your upper board should overlap your lower board" Well spotted! Too late now! If thats the only mistake then I will be happy! Oh dear, not very proud of my pointing.

http://www.roofconsult.co.uk/articles/tiling/tips13.htm Definitely says underlay is under the undercloak. Looking like this so far and hoping to get done today.

Just read those articles and want to make sure I have this correct. I am going to slide the undercloak under the battens so that their is 50mm of baton on the cloak. I will trim my underlay so that it finishes under the cloak. Mortar goes on top (6:1) of the cloaks for 50mm, there is...

Right, just been and bought some. Managed to clean the cement off the tiles easily with the angle grinder. Weather permitting I will finish off tomorrow!

Do i really need "under-cloak"? Its only a 2m x 2m coalhouse?

Right, Im off to get an angle grinder. Is it ok using cement in this weather? Its sleeting here now, will it still go off? I have been told to nail a board down the edges where I am cementing the tiles on, is this correct? Mick

There is a cooker control switch in the wall, is it safe to assume that it will be 23A or can I find out? Whats diversity? Is it safe to assume the old cable is ok or should I replace it? I dont think the consumer unit has MCB's or RCD's, its pretty old and will get someone to change...
