Lovely noseall, really helpful, just one thing mate, why the 17degree cut? Was that just an example, the tiles are Redland 49ers min pitch 17.5. If I do a cut 17 degree and plumb it at the low end won't the top be a different pitch. Cheers governor

Hi Al. Personally i would build the 2inch wall, that way you can get good fixings into the wall, plug and screw with 90mm screws. The plasterboard on adhesive probably would withhold but it depends on how its been stuck ie... how much adhesive was used and was it dotted every 12inches...

Hi all. When building a rear single storey extension am I right in thinking the wall plate height is 2400? 2100 from dpc to lintel height ( for doors ) then One course of blocks above to make 2400, does this sound like common practice? And secondly when it comes to pitching the roof what...

Thanks again noseall, yeh they are foolproof but oh well, needed info on it :) Flashing for 49ers ( tiles ) I know you have to measure up 80mm etc so that a whole tile runs through. Edz flashing.. It was the edp flashing for plain tiles I wasn't 100% on where the frame should be placed...
