    Bonding gutters

    If it's a dry bonding gutter, ask him what the sand strip is for? https://0e634b66-77be-4e70-bf04-c1d8d1e241ef.filesusr.com/ugd/a1adc3_e9cb958b9a594a8a87cdd7c29371ba9a.pdf

    new extension recurring roof leak

    The OP said it's about 18 degrees and it doesn't look less than that to me. You're the roofer though, so I'll take your word.

    Door lining size question

    I've generally either stitched drilled or cut new openings. Saves risk of making bricks further back lose which a breaker might. Just dealt with the dust which is epic if cutting.

    Is a noise reduction gasket really necessary?

    I've just done this and also got the £7 amazon gasket after dry fitting the pan. The foam gasket just allowed the pan to flex a little when sat on. I didn't like that at all, so removed it and binned it. I used a clear adhesive/sealant instead. Now rock solid and evens out any point loading...

    Door lining size question

    I'd much rather have the lining at the proper width if the masonry could be trimmed.

    Window board rolled edge 25mm. How to make the rolled edge on the side?

    I matched this almost perfectly, you'd never see the difference unless you studied it. Got the flat as small as possible and finished with a light sand.

    Window board rolled edge 25mm. How to make the rolled edge on the side?

    I've made a load of my own mdf window boards as a large sheet of 25mm mdf was left here. Bought a cheap set of round over bits and pretty much matched the factory bullnose. I've not used the router a huge amount before that. Came out so well I did a oak one too. I guess what I'd choose to use...

    Replacing a brick

    Bricks are London stocks I would think(and looking at your location), very easy to get. Your tools look clean to me! Just keep them dry and all is good.

    Replacing a brick

    Well done for having a go. Somethings that would have made it better would be better brick match, light brush over on the diagonal with a soft brush. Mortar colour will change over the next few weeks, but you've got 2/3 colours up there already!

    What is the BEST drill bit for drilling into brick

    Are you making sure you're not clogging the bit up and/or getting it too hot? Withdraw it occasionally to free the dust and don't go too fast. You never want to get drill bits too hot. I've watched builders destroy countless drill bits drilling steel beams because they don't know what they're...

    Is this trim suitable for the Metro tiles?

    I used 6mm trim with similar metros along the thin uncut edge. It's a bit tight with adhesive but was better than 8mm. I had to get it ordered in at a local tile shop.

    Soak away by a patio

    We had a couple of feet thick layer of clay here when digging our soak away, kept digging and got to chalk which drained very well.

    DIY Kitchens

    I see the rather excellent DIY kitchens planner app is now offline as the beta trial has now ended!! Don't get what they were thinking there, it was so useful.

    Junction box for a network cable?

    I suspect something like this: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/CXSM315.html and a punch down tool.

    Does this roof installation look correct?

    Looks horrid, sorry, definitely wouldn't accept that. Not not a fan of putting these roofs on conservatories myself. I always think they attract the type of trader whose just after a fast buck and touts on facebook.
