I would think it is more to do with how the surface texture of the roof tiles allows a coating of gunge to form / bind on which the moss can grow.

Agree with all the above. But in my area at least Building Control insist on dry ridge construction for new roof construction, or even new extensions to existing roofing. If you are replacing an existing wet ridge then they will accept " like for like " replacement.

I have a double glazed glass roof on my conservatory. I really can't see the point of having a conservatory if you're going to have a non-transparent roof. I like sitting in there in the evenings looking at the stars while having a relaxing drink. Sure it gets a but chilly in there in the...

I'm with MW roofline - Throw those sheets in a skip. It's never a good idea to plan a project based on the materials that you just happen to have available. The project will invariably end up as unsightly and non functional bodge job. Design the project properly first and then plan the...

Looks like a right bodge job I'm afraid..... Totally unacceptable standard of work.

The ticking noise is highly likely to just be expansion and contraction of the radiators and may be related to the way that they are mounted and what they are mounted to. Are you sure that what you are bleeding is air and not hydrogen as others have suggested ? Is the water in your system...

Have a look on YouTube - Some very good videos on there about re-felting your shed. Three layers of torch-on felt ? ? Sounds a bit excessive ! Good idea to use torch-on felt instead of that flimsy rubbish that the sell in the DIY sheds for garden roofs, but one layer should do the job !

I would think that your problem is either occurring when the water level in the box gutter rises too much or there such a deluge coming down from the slate roof that it's impinging onto the top of the side of the gutter and then somehow seeping inside your conservatory. I'd be surprised if wind...

Not Biden's biggest fan but we must return to more normal politics both here and in the US and get rid of populist clowns like Trump and Bozo. Bozo is just a puppet for the Brexit cult that is currently running the country. He's surrounded by a bunch of incompetent fools only selected because...

The box gutter looks extremely narrow and shallow for the application bearing in mind the amount of rainwater you could have coming down from that roof and the conservatory during a downpour..... Clearing out the leaves and getting the cables out will help, but this looks like a case of...

The vibration might just be the boiler casing resonating (i.e. vibrating at its natural frequency, set off my the frequency generated when the hot water is on). Try putting something non-flammable between the casing and some solid part and see if that stops the vibration. If it does then just...

WD40 is great for releasing seized components, but for long term lubrication a light machine oil like 3-in-1 oil is the best thing to use. While I agree that mineral oil based lubricants should not be used internally on a potable water system, using a few drops on the spindle of a tap is fine...

If you're gonna do it do it right......... Nowadays if you want to do proper home brewing you need something like a Grainfather kit or equivalent (other kits are available).

Maybe I'm a just a Luddite but I just feel more comfortable with copper pipe and soldered or compression fitting joints rather than depending on rubber o-rings to keep the water in the pipe. I know it's a proven system pressure wise, it's the integrity of the o-ring seals long term I worry...

Ooooh ! - Little bit of politics... ! Boris is just Cummings puppet, Cummings being an unelected aide - So much for " taking back control " ! :LOL:

Is your house Barratt build by any chance ? I had the same problem a few years ago. I thought that the old bath was a non-standard length when I measured it, but they'd actually fitted a standard size bath with the end partly into the stud wall of the bathroom and the wall then tiled down to...

That's a very good point - I shouldn't have had the very bad response I initially had (which was the reason for my original post). It was not what I expected from HP and gave a very bad impression of HP. I got there in the end, but I really shouldn't have had to fight and struggle so much to...

I hope that they were " severely admonished " ! ;) - But apart from the handwritten note I has exactly the same line repeated parrot fashion by the people that I spoke to (on more than one occasion)when I then phoned the UK Service Center. It was only when the matter was escalated to a...

Thanks for your post. I'm told that the plastic cap is the correct end fitting for the dry ridge system. Internally it has a spigot that the end of the ridge board slots into and the cap thereby holds the end of the tile down as well as stopping the wind from getting under the tile. I'm also...

Looks like an absolute disaster.......
