    We are fortunate to have a number of outbuildings - one of which is a 3.2m x 3.85 m old wooden stable built on 4 courses of bricks on concrete slab with a flat felt roof with a pitch of around 6 degrees Sadly its completely falling apart - roof leaks badly; construction leaning heavily; wood...

    Uneven joist heights & boarding tolerances

    We are looking to get our 4x4.5m kitchen re-boarded and skimmed. We have had a local chap in to look at it, with a laser theodolite thing and he has advised that - as the joists are not all exactly level - there is around 1-1.5cm variance between shortest and tallest - installing sister joists...

    Cold Roof: Vented or Unvented ?

    Reclaimed roof tiles ok?

    Cold Roof: Vented or Unvented ?

    I have done a lot of searching on this topic and its clear that (at least to me) its unclear as to what the best plan is with a cold roof. I have an existing 4 x 4.5m flat roof build in the mid 1970's and is enclosed on three sides by other parts of the house - so only one side could be vented...

    Clayboard requirement if using piling ?

Even if I demolish it and remove the existing slab to get piled foundations installed would be 7k from the cheapest contractor - then cost of the new brick work and the roof rebuild - so...
