Cheers catlad reckon that's what I,ll have to do with it. Been looking for days...but so far no union seems to be available for it. should be able to get a Solid fix using the method above tho. Thanks again.

Wondering if anyone's got any ideas. Got the job of connecting new plastic guttering onto the neighbors existing cast guttering. i know there's adaptors for it. The only problem being is the neighbours existing cast iron guttering is 150mm wide. Wanting to change the other one to 150mm...

Yeah looks like he,s not being fair tbh. First thing you need to do is get him to turn up...and have some kind of honest talk with him. Seems to me he might be struggling with the job or its a little too big for him. He might not do a lot of whole roofs. He even working with someone? I,d...

Their new tiles. Some been scuffed a bit from either transportation or him walking on them etc by the looks of it. Is he still turning up for work everyday atm...starting to appear that he,s avoiding finishing the ends, eaves etc for some reason. Probably because I m not sure he,s ran his...

Anyone know what's causing the pitch change of the eaves row. Seem to be different from the rest of the roof and yet the neighbours seems fine. Is it smaller battens on the neighbors. Or a batten underneath kicking the neighbours bottom row up that he's. needing on his roof. Maybe a smaller...

Very much appreciated datarabel. Cheers. Should save me a good bit time Monday. (y).

Sorry guys only photo I ve got of the job so far.

Bit of a long shot. But anyone got an idea of what type of tile this is in the picture attached. A builders left it like that and has now went missing. Need to fit a new flashing for the customer and tile around it. Only problem is not sure where I,ll get tiles like that from. Not due to...

Wouldn't really say its a rip off as such. Chimney seems a good price for 200. Retiled roofs not extortionite for 4,700. What you,ve got to factor in is the scaffolding...the bumpa to hire if he,s used one. A skip again if he,s used one. The materials aren,t all that cheap either. Plus his...

Looks nothing major to worry about to me just going by the pictures. The reclaimed ridges look like their just on to cover it for now. Maybe just needing to get more new ridges...or more cover on the slightly bigger ridges till he gets the new ones fitted. Fine line between getting a good job...

I d say roofers should charge a premium. Even with the best precautions its still more dangerous than your average job. Thats just my take on it anyway. 700 between the two...what about the scaffold provided. May have been rented. Even if not they ve still provided it. I d say maybe...

No sure where the 400 pound an hour comes from above. The price was 1,000 including scaffolding. Providing the breather membrane. The tile vents. The dry ridge system. Then bedding and pointing up the dry valley. I dont actually think its that bad. Just throwing figures out there...but...

Not the most experienced guy graham so probably better clarifying with one of the other guys on here...but would just use the eaves protectors above the fascia on the main roof as well. Helps shed water into the gutters from the tiles. Plus stops driving rain getting in the back of the fascia...

Looks like the guys used damp proof membrane instead of eaves protectors. Seen it done before. Need him back to remove the dpm and fit eaves protectors which as freddy says are rigid plastic. Should fix the problem.

Roof irons and Long heavy batten should do it mate. Remove slates from near the bottom. Hammer in roof irons to trusses make sure they go all the way through and are secure. Fit batten on top make sure batten can comfortably hold your weight. Then i would place a small ladder onto the batten...

Sorry for the delay couldn't get online for a few days. Thanks noseall, there's not that much you don't know the names pretty apt :-). I m not even sure what size the outlet pipes are, would i just cut a square in the felt the size of the lead slate and put it over it??, then try burning it...

Needing help guys, i m a roofer that mainly does pitched roofing, done a bit flat roofing but only when needs must and has always been straight forward roofs i.e with no outlets. My mate wants me to felt round 3 outlets for him and to be honest i m not that sure how it's done. Think he's doing...

hey all needing some advice. Boiler not working waiting on some part thats been ordered and is not in use at the minute. Just not sure if i should be switching the water supply off and draining the taps or not incase the pipes freeze and burst. Have been using 2 heaters to heat my house at...

Hi all needing to get my hands on a plain tile pipe terminal not sure if thats the right name but its for an oven extractor fan the pipe is coming through the loft wanting to connect this pipe to some kind of tile just not too sure what type of tile is needed and where to get it. Any help...
