It is Flashband and if you are lucky you may get 5 years out of it but that is a bad job even for Flashband and not snug to the surface, way too deep and it's just wrong full stop. There is a lead apron underneath it and most likely the soakers are in but It should be done in Lead. Seems...

Caught up with this coming out of a golf course recently, the official car of the Lord Mayor of Leeds and used to be on a much more prestigious motor in the past but now lives on a Volvo.....

If you have shown us all the work needed then the higher quotes are having a laugh surely. The internet suggests an average semi can have dry verge installed for around £875 and a cherry picker can be hired for around £250 - £300 per day. Two men in a cherry picker would only take a day and so...

Just use a bow saw, with a trunk that thick it won't take that long.

Your welcome.

There are some great adhesives out there now so they are a good choice especially with it been low level as easier to refix should the weather do it's worst but i would use Polytop nails for a permanent fix. They come in several sizes so choose what works and take care not to overhit them as...

It is usually down to cost as the black pigment costs more than white and cheaper to produe the film to wrap it in, although they also do a matching end cap..... https://www.eurocell.co.uk/fascia-and-soffits/capping-boards/black-capping-board/dcbctwy-black-ash-woodgrain-capping-board-corner-trim

Fairly standard stuff and they always take care to let you know that the survey doesn't cover this, that or the other. They mention hardboard and then plasterboard but either way it could probably do with looking underneath and seeing if the roof has a membrane. The rest of the advice is valid...

It is white in the centre and just has a black coating.

You would buy the 150mm with the 30mm lip and simply cut it to fit. It will cut very easily with a hand saw or even several scores with a sharp Stanley knife. Just keep it all well supported while you cut it to avoid breakages and get help fitting it as that is a fair length to be struggling...

If the quote was, as you said, to "strip the old mineral felt, and plywood underneath it and fix new 18mm osb and fit 3 ply new felt" then that is what they should have done and not avoided half the work by leaving on the existing layers. Ask them to do what you employed them to do or do the...

Oh Carol.....

Looks like he may be after an easy job as it looks largely sound to me. Odd spots of pointing need doing and the leadwork needs dressing better but overall absolutely no reason to demolish it. You may find it a planning issue anyway dependant on the area as you are not allowed to just remove...

The plasterer should have feathered it in to the walls so it could have been finished better but the chance of a ceiling falling out of the blue are so slim it is not worth worrying about and i don't think you will have any issues.

Trim it carefully with a sharp Stanley knife, I find the retractable ones are quite good as the body of the knife will not be in danger of scraping the wall, just enough to cut the scrim and not the plaster and then you could probably get away with caulking it and painting or may need to use a...

Create the shape of the rebate with a sharp bevel edge chisel and then use an auger or spade bit to drill out the majority of the waste and tidy it up again with a chisel and you won't go far wrong... and safer than a chainsaw if you are not confident with it.

Perfectly normal and that is what spiders do in their natural habitat. They use the decking as a sun spot and to socialise, mate, feed, fight etc....I have them in my garden, exactly the same and they vanish very quickly when you go near them. There are spider repellants on the market but you...

You could do it cheaper by doing it yourself but unless you know how and what to do it could be a problem further down the line when things go wrong. If you can assemble everything you need and then try and rope in a CCTV engineer or alarm specialist that will do some extra work outside of...
