    SOS/help! Is this asbestos?

    Best to treat as such until sure in my view, although from what I can make out from your pic , it doesn't look like it is. Think fireplaces had a fire resistant cement used in their construction, down side is some of the cements may have had asbestos content in them. Locally here for the...

Thanks...

    Flat roof between two hip bay roofs

    Thanks Tuck 1 for your reply. All points noted and yes i agree with your views on felt, i have recently helped a friend fit a rubberised roof covering to his garage and was suitably impressed with its ease of use, finish, and looks. I have also considered fibreglass as an option as per...

    Flat roof between two hip bay roofs

    Thanks Noseall, all clear and understood. Especially the bit about the cocking fillet, makes sense now you have mentioned it. Whilst on the subject of lifting the last tile row, i did think about trying to get some sort of flat bottomed guttering to sit around the edges of the flat roof...

    Floor to level off

    Hi noseall...thanks for the reply. Yes, i did screed the new floor, before the knock through.....might seem daft but a small problem of keeping the rest of the house useable before logistically moving three rooms around. The knock through was the old bathrooom, and the old kitchen. With...

    Will I make my stairs fall down?

    I would suggest that you do not cut that rail as it will form part of the strength of the stairs. By the look of your picture, the part below the rail is only ply wood which you could take out, and put your door in that section. I did similar in my previous property, but the side of my...
