Probably teaching you to suck eggs but just in case Join the ends on a joist

Love the Fred flinstone supports.

We did one of those years ago and if I recall there are holes at the back of the gutter. Prob best to strip the tiles and have a look. If we be messing with that we’d hit him for strip and refelt as well as the gutter. It’s only a small roof. Then you can have peace of mind the whole thing is...

yep that’s fine.

Not doing the lead flashing on chimneys when having a reroof is a bit like not having the clutch done when you are having the gearbox changed. Good luck.

Well good luck let’s hope he gives you some more cash back and these things happen. At least you a lot more clued up now.

Id just carry on with the builders, let them finish it. You haven't got any kind of permission for what you've done so far so live with it for 3 or 4 years and then knock the whole thing to the ground and not get 37 quotes and go for the cheapest and instead re-do it properly going through all...

The inside lip is usually 25mm so fit some lengths of 25mm lath to the brick, 2 rows , drilling and plugging as you would perhaps making a note of where the screws are and then placing your fascia Over it and then using a 30mm poly pin drive it through the fascia In to the lath. the lip of the...

With insulation, plaster, OSB, rubber and a few inches of snow that roof is gonna sag like my 80 year old neighbours melons when she’s out doing the weeding. I know you’ve done good spacings but 6x2 would’ve been better. Perhaps someone else can comment as I’m not overly up to spec with these...

When the bottom lath means you’ll literally be cutting down the eaves tray in half To go up to it then do so but daft as it sounds throw the lipped bit away and just use the straight flat bit Instead. Just make sure the gutter is nice and high. Sometimes on small tiles and a really low lath we...

As long as there was a waterproof felt edge then technically you could vent as high as possible behind the gutter but it’s a bit Heath Robinson and wind can gust rain upwards behind the gutter. If the soffits are azzy and you can’t take bottom row tiles off why don’t you pop in a few roof tile...

Is the roof not falling from right to left on that pic. Or is it my eyes.

As woody says. Twist and pull. ;)

Excellent work. I kNow you haven’t fixed it up properly yet but make sure there is a gutter bracket right next to the bend on the house fascia.

What year was the house built.

The 8x2 @ 400 is fine maybe someone else can comment on the steel

Have you got a pic of the outside of the house.

I always thought new builds were all about dry this, dry that.

Have you got a picture

Looks like it’s already got a head start flying out of the shoe and perhaps it’s discharging over the end course of tiles. Firstly the pipe could do with coming across to the left a brick width and it’s length extended so the shoe is almost resting on the tiles. You’ll find the water running...
