What pitch is your roof?? You have 2 types of bonnet........Granny Bonnet or Semi-Bonnet. One needs mortar....One dont.

EPDM adheared to OSB3 (better in my opinion than ply cuz it dont de-laminate.) And I dunno what the O.P. is going on about with foxes???? It must be another very poor rumour started by a worried felter or GRP fitter lol. I've heard rumours that birds peck the rubber EPDM!!!! lol And...

Or keep it simple and get some company to clean out the guttering and line it with a single sheet/ EPDM Rubber membrane. Simple.

Dont bother going down the felt roof way! Go for the EPDM (rubber) roof covering way. Easier to do and will outlast the felt by a mile.

Plenty of cheap gutter sealant that will do the job for a weather ''season'' be it winter or summer. Your better of going to your local plastics centre and buying new gutter parts and replacing the problem parts with new IMHO. The parts dont cost alot. Plus it'll see you right for years...

2.7 mtr x 2.3mtr = 6.21 sq mts. and your getting quotes for £750? Rubber and Felt? (rubber size may be a tiny bit more, Giving 100mm overhang and 200-300mm up the wall) That's £120 a sq mtr!!! :shock: Total rip off IMHO. Overboard or Re-Deck thats WAY to expensive. Nothing more than...

Aye, I was told that as well Nige, If the compo sticks to your trowel then you've got yourself a decent mix :D My problem is getting that ''DECENT MIX''?? :oops: :oops: I'm going down the route of fitting a dry ridge system lately. Seem's alot easier but a slightly more expensive way of...

Hi Guys. Whats the best mix to do your ridging?? Reason I ask is because when I find myself having to do it I find it really really really boring!!! :( !!!! I put it down to the mix TBH!! lol!!! I know this sounds crazy but I find it SO hard to manage, I:E - Keeps falling off the...

To strip off all old felt, Replace any old/rotting decking, Overboard with 11mm osb (to get a nice smooth surface for the rubber to adhere to) All trims, Labour.................Around the £1800 mark. add me as a friend......I'll message you :wink:

Thanks peeps!! Should be an easy choice !! ZEB

Cheers guys, Looks like I'll be looking at a Bosch then. Whats the best SDS drill bits to use for concrete?

Hi guys, I'm looking at getting an SDS Drill before chrimbo and wondered whats the best and not so best one to get?? Do they drill into concrete? Blue bricks? Granite etc?? I'm not after top of the range shizzle but dont want to buy a cheapy if you get my drift! he he. Opinions...

You say the roof isn't that old? Is that the roof covering? I.E. The felt? Try ratedpeople for a quote, And dont go with felt again.....Unless its 3 layers of TOP QUALITY felt. Even then it'll only last 15-20 years IMHO. I'd get a few quotes for the FIRESTONE EPDM RUBBER flat roof...

By the looks of the pic I would go along the lines of saying YES. A member of my family had asbestos slates on an extension at the rear of their house, and they had weathered just like the light coloured ones in your pic. The dark ones I doubt are asbestos, That looks like ones that have been...

Fascia....£16 for 5 mts? lol.....What depth was the fascia?? Back to your original question on how much for the roof......Are the measurements you gave of 5.8 x 3.4 flat deck level measurements?? Have you gave enough for overhangs into the gutter and upstands??

I have got a limited brain function but that's not my fault! But back onto the subject.....Metal Roofs? How come they fail?

Come on guys, Seriously.....Can anybody 'who's on planet earth' say a metal roof would last forever??? If thats the case, All new house builds would have copper, zinc, or whatever cheap metal installed when building?? Sorry but nobody can say a certain material will last forever!

Going on what you've said I would say anything between £1500-£2500 IMO. Alot riding on the location of the job, London being quite expensive.

Hi, My old man and me are converting the asbestos corrugated pitched roof to a tiled one, Using Marley Major's. Everything is simple enough apart from the boiler flu coming through the roof! Tiling around it isn't really a prob but how do we go about flashing around it??? Cheers

Yeah, Please post a picture of the chimney/lead flashing, And where its leaking into the house. It'll be alot easier to give you quality advice.
