Thanks, I am not expecting it to be an easy job, it might be a better idea to try and get it back to wood then sand and repaint as it is. just looks a right mess as it is.

Hi again, yes the pitch is too low for the tiles i have on the roof as it is. I am referring too man made synthetic slates similar to https://www.roofingsuperstore.co.uk/product/tapco-synthetic-slate-pewter-grey-704.html

Thank you for your reply Frank! Ok, so my current construction is uPVC as can be seen in attached photo (poor one at that) The new roof i have in mind: Timber wall plate bolted to the existing house wall. Timber rafters to either a timber wall plate if can sit onto of frame or to an RSJ...

Ofcourse!... ill be using Shingles on the roof, not tiles. so the weight will be FAR less.

Infact, no... i am 29!!! ffs.

OP - Antz, where are you from? This is something i would love to do but depend on my monthly salary far too much to make this happen, i guess if i was ever made redundant then this is a path i would certainly consider but as others have said i would certainly be focusing on one trade or at a...

Thank you mate, You are indeed right, these are choices that i should be making myself. I would just like to know what the best practices are in situations like this. I presume that best practice will be to knock back to brick and take it from there but as you say... why make more work if the...

Sorry Big-All. Was in a bit of a rush to get out of the office, Question... How do i add skirting to the stairs to match the 5" normal skirting, im guessing ill need a deeper skirting for the stairs to look right? then it will be a case of cutting each riser out of the skirting so it fits over...

:(

i have taken patches off verious places in the house and i can see the woodchip behind the skim. I want to re-skim the whole lot you see, not just a patch up. the wall is a right mess.
