Hello All, Our new extension has a 17.5˚ monopitch roof with Mini Stonewolds. We need to run a soil stack and a 68mm RWDP through it. The lowest pitch lead slate I can find is 35˚. Is it acceptable to use a flat roof slate or is there another solution? Thanks, J

Thanks folks. Just checked the planning and there has been none either applied for or granted. I'll speak to the council tomorrow. The company who did the work are known to be of traveller descent and the work is falling apart in other places too.

Hi, We have recently moved into a link-detached house. The survey picked up a number of things but didn't find this problem as it was carried out in the dry spell. The street is on a shallow hill meaning each house is slightly higher than it's neighbour. Each house has a driveway to the...

Hi, I have fitted a macerator in our new en suite. I have followed the manufacturers instructions but it still isn't working properly. It is a combi type with the shower, basin and toilet all connected to it. If the basin is used it raises the height of the water in the toilet. The...

Thanks :D

Hello All, I have a solid oak floor, 18mm thick. It's been down a while now without issue. However, we now need to have 2 walls re-plastered. I remember reading in the instructions for the flooring that all 'wet trades' should be finished on site and everything should be left for a while...

Hello, We are replacing our kitchen soon. We'd like to tile the floor and have floor boards at the moment. I know we would be best covering the floor in ply before tiling. This obviously raises the floor height too. Is it ok to tile on to chipboard flooring? If so I will just replace the...

Noseall, That's the ones :D. At least I have a name for them now too. House is 40-50ish. Cheers, J

Hello all, I need half a dozen clay ridge tiles to make good the roof following the removal of a chimney. I can't get them anywhere :?. Tried Keyline, Beatsons, Asphalt and a few others but they couldn't help. They're nothing special, just plain black/blue pointed clay ridge tiles approx...

Thanks Noseall. Decided to just take the whole thing down :lol:. J

Hello All, We'd like to remove the chimney from our house. It is a single storey bungalow and the chimney is central to the house. Only used for one room. We'd like to remove it to free up space in the living area. There was a back boiler and fire in it but these have been replaced with a...

Symptoms, That's the kind of thing but it needs to be flatter, like a washer.

Hello All, I have retiled a shower enclosure which obviously meant I had to remove the old tiles first. I also removed the exposed shower valve so I could get a better finish. The valve had a chrome, plastic collar/washer trim around the hot and cold feed to hide the hole in the tile...

Hello, Can I use a roofing breathable membrane on a timber frame kit? Does anyone know the difference between a building wrap type and a roofing type? TIA, J

It's on my driveway.

Hello all, I hired an 8yrd skip from a local company over 2 weeks ago. I knocked down an old brick outhouse and filled the skip within 2 days. I gave the company a call to ask for collection. They said it would be done the next day. Nothing happened. It's now been over 2 weeks since I first...

Hello All, Which programmer would you recommend for use with a CM927RF room stat on an unvented 's' plan system TIA, J

I see your point but aren't pressure and flow two different things? J
