Yesterday morning with the melting snow I noticed a leak from our butterfly roof. As I currently have scaffold up, I got onto the roof and shovelled off most of the snow that was on the roof and also in the central channel and this stopped the leak. Should I worry about the leak? It is raining...

I went out and bought a mitre box and found a great video on youtube so jobs a good 'un!

I'm having a nightmare trying to cut internal mitres on Screwfix Sculptured Coving 117mm x 2m using a Titan TTB710MSW 210mm Single-Bevel Compound Mitre Saw. I found a Youtube video showing how to cut a piece of wood with a 45 degree mitre and at a height so that the coving is at the correct...

I think it's rendered the other side - unfortunately it's a rented property and getting hold of the landlords can be difficult.

I can't post pictures of other side as it is the neighbouring property - here's a photos of the front: I'll get my builder to look at the flaunching - thanks for for the heads up.

Thanks for all the advice - roof cleaned and broken tiles replaced and now just waiting for bricklayer to repoint.

Thanks for all the tips!

I'm looking for advice on how to access two chimney stacks for repointing on a butterfly roof of a Victorian house. I have scaffold at the front of the property but want to know the best way of getting to the chimneys.

Need some advice please regarding the window frames on the top bay of my Victorian house. Is the damage beyond repair or is it repairable? Will wood filler suffice or do I need something that will stop the rot? I've bought some good quality Dulux primer and undercoat and will be using Dulux...

@Hugh Jaleak is this 110mm drain connector the same as a DC-1?

Thanks Rob and Hugh

Hi Rob, I don't think I explained myself properly. I am talking about the concrete hole with the lip and the plastic boss going into this and not the waste pipe for the washing machine going into the boss. The bloke at Wickes said that the boss sits in the concrete soil pipe with no seal, is...

Hi Rob, just been to Wickes and they said I needed a soil boss pipe but when I said it doesn't have a seal on it, the guy said it they don't need one as just sit in the hole. Is this right? Could I silicone around to create a seal? I've also bought a 40mm boss adapter for the new washing machine...

The stand pipe is leaking where it connects to the boss pipe that sits in the concrete soil stack. Do I need a new boss pipe and stand pipe for the washing machine waste? Also, the boss pipe is not secured to the concrete stack and lifts out. Is this right?

Everyone's gotta start somewhere Terence! I'll go get some skyhooks and tartan paint.

There's not a lot of room behind the tap head and the tiled wall to give it a good wallop with a hammer though! The little bugger is stuck firm at the moment. Any tips or tricks?

I can unscrew the large hexagonal nut behind the hot tap head that connects to the pipe that comes out of hole in the bath, but I thought the issue with leaking taps was behind the tap head itself? I cannot remove the tap head after unscrewing it.

Sorry, I should have said they I'm trying to fix a leak from the hot tap.

Hi, can anyone tell me how I remove the following hot water tap please? I've taken the screw out but the part you turn for hot water won't pull away from the rest.

Thank you PrenticeBoy!
