Hi, I am just about to buy an 8kw cooker, I assume I can just take my old one out and wire the new one in its place? The old one is just wired into a cooker switch in the wall, I just take the wire out of the cooker and connect it to the new one? Cheers, Mick

How about dressing tiles? Some have cement (especially the 1.5's from the edges that i am short of). Tried with hammer and chisel but am breaking them. Angle grinder? Cheers, Mick

Whats the easiest way to cut my half tiles?

They are sandstorm tiles. I found a big chunk from the bottom row that was cemented together and worked it out from that. There was a half tile that is just sat on a batten that is right on the edge of the fascia board. How far should they overhang the walls at the sides? On the main house...

Well mine have drooped a little too much in one place but it is snowing and my hands were freezing! Membrane and laths on now, just working out how to sort out the position for the bottom lath. I took a row of "half tiles" off and cannot remember how they were positioned.

Where can I buy 2 felt support trays? (without £12 postage!) I dont want a pack of ten?

I am using protect a1 roof underlay. It says to leave "shallow valleys to allow drainage". I have stuck my cover on and given up for today. Was far too slippy. Ok, so I will go horizontal. It does say on the packet to use an "Eaves Skirt".

Well, Tiles and most laths are off. Problem is now its covered in snow! Think I will give up for a bit. The old felt will keep most of the wet out. Am I correct in assuming that the felt should run from top to bottom? At the moment it runs across. Can I come back and fit the eaves...

How do I fit the eaves trays? Surely they are under the laths? The bit I am doing is about 2m by 2.2 m. Its just a coalhouse stuck on the back of the house. I have took some tiles off today and a lot are frost damaged So i have bought 100, some laths and some membrane. Tomorrow I...

Hi, My roof at this back is leaking (only coalhouse stuck on the house really). I have had a quick look and the felt is ruined (only checked the bottom so far) and so are some tiles. I plan on getting the tiles off, seeing how many I need then replacing "felt" and laths. What should I...

The tiles look like they are draining into the gutter ok but some water is running down (through the tiles?) onto the felt, it then travels down the felt and behind the gutter. Further along where the felt is better, it drains into the gutter.

Hi, Just noticed some water running down my wall. When I looked up at the gutter, it looks like the felt is worn so that some water can run down the back of the gutter. Whats the easiest way to sort this? Mick

I'm not venting under floor. Its at head height. The one I saw in my book goes straight through.

Ok, I am trying to fix a condensation problem. Step 1 is to fit an air brick. I now have a brick sized hole in my wall, double brick with cavity above the damp course. I have just read that I need some kind of telescopic air brick/cavity sleeve. Where can I get one? Is this one...
