Hi, I'm rather worried about the quality of the roof that our builder is doing on our extension. The lead flashing lacks very poor to me as the lead doesn't follow the contours of the tiles and has large gaps underneath. What are the views of you professionals ?

Nice one :wink:

Hardwood would be more expensive, but it is just down to personal preference. Personally I'd go for upvc.

You won't get that out mate I'm afraid. You could replace the cill though, only about £7 per metre.

Yeah I would say roughly about £2000ish.

ok noseall thanks for the help. Will see what tomorrow brings :roll:

You might be able to take the door off from the hinge side. Has it got 'butt' hinges or 'flag' type hinges. A picture might help.

Oh yes I remember those. Didn't they have a factory in Coventry or somewhere in the midlands. He was a right horrible little s**t, reminds me a lot of my boss!

Yes, looks much neater if you take those off and plaster.

Rip those horrible plastic liners off, line it with 4 x 2 or whatever size you need, plasterboard and skim.
