What's the roof pitch for starts? Velux windows go down to 15 degrees done right. Are tiles suitable for the pitch and have the right headlap if so? Some brands do tile and halves not sure with this tile however this would have eliminated the small cuts are the Velux. The kick up around the...

Sounds naff. I've got 2 young kids and before they came along the house was perfect. Now there's chips, dents, finger marks everywhere we all go through it. Suck it up for now and once they're older do it again properly then.

He's probably referring to a 90 degree pan connector. Have a search.

Is there a side extension? The second picture doesn't appear to have an external lintel going off where the soldier course finishes however the last picture without soldiers works in correctly for there to be a lintel this looks newer though thus thinking it's an extension.

Been there done it. The heart ache when it goes wrong isn't worth it. Get yourself a quality cutting in brush and ditch the frog tape.

I had the same problem with Crown oil based gloss. Within 2 years it'd turned a off white / yellow. I didn't have the heart to do the lot again so as and when rooms need a freshen up or redecoration I've been redoing it with water based gloss. Give the old gloss a good rub down with 240 or...

I'd board onto the blocks and skim the board. Thermalite would suck the life out of your skim. You've covered the vent but also consider fitting a chimney cowl.

I used Sandtoft 20/20 and Velux windows at 16 degrees and had no leaks in over 2 years in all sorts of weather. The added extras Velux sell sometimes get overlooked in installations but at such a low pitch are critical to a leak free roof. The insulation collar and more so under felt collar and...

While woody can be a smart alec sometimes what he's saying is correct there is no strict depth for a wall plate. The bare minimum would be 4x1 if that's what your after.

Use the aerated blocks to much lighter.

I grouted the tiles in my bathroom with black grout it dried a light grey and totally ruined the effect however I purchased black grout dye it's liquid based I brushed it on with a tooth brush it's crucial you clean the excess off as you go otherwise it will stain. This seals the grout and dried...

Don't worry once they've done the repair it'll probably blend in as well as the repair job done above the window.

Haha sorry being an imbecile and an idiot English isn't really me forte.

Which if you plumbers are as godly as you think you are should never happen. Only an idiot would trap the trap. No fumes would escape if the trap were still in place. I changed my condensate from external to internal be just adjusting the solvent weld pipe I never once touched the trap or any...

Technically you're not allowed to mess with the condensate pipe unless gas safe as it's apart of the flue. However if it's just replacing a broken section of condensate pipe it's probably one of the more DIY friendly jobs you could undertake. If your confident save yourself £250 and crack on...

It's really not worth all the hassle. Is the usual method of doing it.

A structural engineer for hairline cracks along plasterboard joins? Don't waste your money. The method that's been used to support the joists sounds correct. It can't be anything serious it's been standing for 18 years! It's probably over the years the nails or screws holding the boards have...

No reason why the block work can't look neat even building overhand. Maybe consider painting the boundary side in a similar colour to the render? It'd have to be painted in stages as the blocks go up and have dried but it'd look better on the eye.

I use charcoal toothpaste it's very good indeed.
