Pictures of roof tiles

thanks to all just an update to say we have now installed low threshold sliding patio doors and are very pleased. At least it shows they can be bought in case anyone else receives conflicting advice. I believe the 'low threshold kit' is expensive and 'unfinished' for what it is though. In...

Hi. I have what I think is a concrete tiled roof from when our bungalow was built in the late 50s / early 60s. When we moved in we repaired leaks in the 2 valleys. We also asked a builder to check / repair and fit new upvc soffits etc as needed. In hindsight I don't have much confidence in...

Thank you to all for your interest. After yesterday's news I receive 2 verbal quotes for sliding patio doors and both say they will supply with a low threshold. Both are from local suppliers. One says he will use Duraflex and the other manufactures his own windows using the SWISH profile (if I...

The latest plan is to: - Empty the bedroom. - Run humidifier for 2 to 3 weeks - Remove the fitted wardrobe (and everything else in the room to pacify my wife) - Replaster, decorate and refurnish. In addition, our builder proposes to drill a core in the floor to see if he can spot signs of...

Thanks Corgigrouch, My wife says she does as you do except the very hot washes so she'll also try that. I know in the early days of the current washer she used to close the door when empty but it's left open now. That you (and no-one else) has suggested anything apart from the cleaning etc...
