Thanks for the reply, I think it's coming from the inner skin, but hard to say for sure, may have to try again tomorrow. It's timber frame so inner skin is ply with housewrap, I assume if it's attached, it's probably nailed to the ply. As you suggest, will need to drill some perps to walk out...

As part of a garage conversion project I'm working on, I need to install cavity trays above the garage roof. I was ready to install the trays I have bought which are the 450mm wide type which interlink. I drilled out the first brick to inspect and to install the tray, but in doing do...

Thanks for the help on this one, I've decided to leave it alone for now I think!

Yes that makes sense, that I guess that I am unsure of. The gallows would be fixed to the side wall of the garage, which aside from pillars at the front rear and centre is otherwise a single skin of brick. The point about allowing for snow loading is a good one. Perhaps there is a gallows on...

Getting a fixing should be pretty easy, it's ope from the inside and you can see the pillar supporting the purlin as shown. To me it seems a gallows would be able to take the load, especially since there is already one in place at the other end. There is just part of me that wonders why it...

It is supporting it, I'm not looking to remove the support, my question is whether a gallows bracket could provide the necessary support. Removing the pillar allows me to back the car in far enough to get another on the driveway. If it's best left as it is then that's what I'll do, but wanted...

Hi, I have an L shaped canopy roof which covers my front door and garage door. At one end is a gallows bracket, and the other has a pillar which the downpipe runs down removed in photo. My question is whether there is any reason I cannot replaced the pillar for a gallows do declutter and free...

The coils were not iced up as I had left it off for 3 days, I also removed the cover inside the freezer to check the coils and fan was running. I didn't test the heater but did make sure it was not in defrost cycle. I did try bypassing the thermostat altogether, then sat and watched the...

Hi, I have searched the forums but am struggling to diagnose the fault. This is a Zanussi 60/40 fridge freezer. I'm starting to think it's the compressor but before I go and spend the money on a new fridge, I wanted to get some advice on here. Originally we came back from holiday to find...

Its a 70's style house, there is no loft and the header tank is only about 2ft higher than the hot tap in the bathroom, the flow is normally just a trickle. Is it possible that the unit doesn't have a flow sensor, I reckon it could be up to 10 years old. Here is an image of it:

Hi, I have just fitted a NewTeam shower pump (sorry don't know the model as its worn off). It looks like it may be quite an old model but hasn't been used before. I've installed it next to the hot water tank, I'm only using it for hot water though it does have 2 inlets+outlets. Once its...
