Thanks N street. I glanced through the website so didn't see the fitting instructions. I have found plenty of info on details i.e forming welts etc. The information I cannot seem to find ,when looking at manufacturers websites, is what product goes with what and how they are fixed together...

Thanks N street. I glanced at the website so didn't see the fitting instructs. I must admit I have been unlucky in finding specific fitting advice on the net.

Was the marley roofing a torch on type or a cold bond. Or did it come with instructions on laying?

I was thinking on DiYing a 3 layer partialy bonded Built up roof system using cold applied adhesive. I am basically looking for a manufacturer which can supply fitting instructions and the products needed, something like kit or system. Have tried the Marley site but can't find a reference to...

I have 100mm thick Kingspan flat roof insulation, type TR26 Thermoroof, foilbacked on both sides. What is commonly used to fix this down and what thickness of ply should be used on top of it ?

cheers chappers.

Has anybody has experience using graded or second grade insulation.Its from seconds.co.uk. I am concerned that it might fail a BCO inspection.

i need to fix into these blocks to take the support for a flat roof. What would be the best fixing for this?

I am building the flat roof for my extension and have been specified 75 x 100mm tanalised for the timber wall plate. My local timber merchants doesn't stock this so can I use 50 x 100mm timber. the obvious answer would be to go to another timber merchants but I have already bought the 50x100mm...

I know its a long shot but has anybody fitted a large steel to support an exterior 9" thick brick wall. I am looking for pictures of a job or advice in fitting them.

Thanks for your post. Your BCo must be a lot friendlier than mine as when I asked him about the wall construction he didn't mention 7 newton blocks were required. Thankfully I went for them on purely a gut feeling. I was going to use Wickes concrete blocks throughout! Well you did well in...

Hi While hacking off old plaster around the 1st floor window at the rear of my house I have noticed a significant gap between the inner leaf and outside of the wall.This is to the left and right of the window. This gap is about 1/2" to 3/4". This extends for about 3ft from the right hand side...

Ok.thanks for that. keep the pics coming. ta.

I have used LB known as Leighton Buzzard sand. I have also discovered recently that you can buy metal beading from Wickes that are applied to the wall with dabs of the render mix. They act as 'Lines' which you use ,with a straight edge, to level what you slap on in between them. BTW Wickes will...

I also need to change my window and have done a little research on the subject. my first decision was whether to choose upvc or timber framed vertical sliding sash windows. The cost difference between the two is big, with plastic being the cheapest. Timber, in my opinion, is far better looking...

can I ask why there is a grouping of 4 roof joists in the middle of the roof and what is the yellow covering over the exterior?

I haven't checked the links provided but if you want to diy a power flush you can rent the Kamco power flush from Alexandra Hire .For more info go to http://www.kamco.co.uk/.

Thanks for the spit tip . I am going to try that tomorrow as I will be plastering (using the term loosely).I know someone who got a tiny spec of plaster in his eye and it was a trip to hospital (a splat from mixing it up). I have found that 'valved' type masks help reduce misting as the breath...

A Wickes leaflet described pipe sizeing as " the flow and return pipes will always be the same size to and from any particular part of the system. with this information it is a straightforward matter to work out the 15 and 22mm requirements."????. I have seen it done in 15mm between rads, but...

Hi I am going to install a small central heating system (combi powered) over 1 & 1/2 floors. The distance to the first rad and last rad are roughly the same, which is about 5 meters. I was thinking of running 22 to the first (Flow) and last radiator Return and connecting each remaining rad ( 3...
