The trouble with lead flashing being that wide is it can't overlap too much as the window has to be able to open as well as slide out along the ridge for servicing, cleaning etc.

Something like this perhaps ? https://edgebp.co.uk/product/rsb-ltf-aluminium-lean-to-flashing-profile/

Well, after using the advided sealant that doesn't shrink or expand, it has happened again after at first staying smooth. I give up!

Door

Perhaps beveled mortar will do it ?

I have been peeling it off with bare hands as I didn't think there was any risk.

I put this up a few years ago against wooden battens. I then added some black tar like stuff on a roll I got from Aldi or Lidl to act as flashing. Huge mistake! It only took one summer for it to shrink and persih creating holes. It's now a pig to get off, even with a scraper. The wall is also...

The manufacturer told me "After many many emails back and forward our quality department have agreed to replace the worktop on this occasion" But I will have to arrange a fitter which will of course cost us. I would have been be happier with a discount. The edging for this was the factory...

hairdryer ? It will have to be a strong clamp. Perhaps just live with it and use colour fill to take the eye from it being so noticable.

I've just give it an blow with a hairdryer and it seems to work so far.

Well this just doesn't make sense. The room is aired in the day, dehumidifier runs and no water ingress coming in from outside and yet the corner feels damp, almost wet to the touch. This defies physics and logic

Yes it is. I'll use colour fill and hope it seals it. I could also clamp it down after steaming ?

Well, after a year our kitchen worktop is lifting at the edge. As it was sealed it shouldn't be affected by any water overspill from the wooden dish drainer, which is kept at minimal. This shouldn't happen as it's a very reputable company that makes the kitchens. It seems to have swelled which...

It's not only buckling, it's now vstarting to seperate. I did google if wooden flooring can be laid on lino and it did say you can. "The good news is, if you're seeking to install solid wood flooring, linoleum should provide the ideal base for your new floor if it is in good, clean condition...

Well after using the Zinsser BIN spray, I can still see shiny marks from the caulk underneath. So that didn't work. I have just got a tin of Zinsser ZINGS1L GS1L Gardz Sealer Primer. Could this work ?

I'm after some myself. This is my ceiling.

Yes, they are back to back so the wall that separates them is not an outside wall. But the side wall is an outside wall. I have put insulated lining paper on the outside facing surfaces which has helped a bit but still getting faint black mould here and there. I have a couple of those lakeland...

I have an old Victorian house with built in cupboards which are back to back. There is a damp problem due to lack of air movement in both. We have damp crystals in bags to extract, but it isn't enough. Would drilling a hole through the mortar line (not brick as too messy) in the adjoining wall...

Thanks. It'll come in handy for the other shiny caulk marks that I posted about a couple of weeks ago. There is a 1ltr tin on Amazon for just over £8
