To replace the batteries.....On the back of the RC1 lift up the tabs on the bottom of the casing and pull them down away from the main body firmly to reveal the two battery trays. To pair with the WR1 ( the wall mounted receiver normally next to the boiler): Pull out both battery trays on...

Put some lime in the mix. SCL 4,1,0.5. Dont breath it in! You can buy ready mixed lime render in builders merchants. No need to seal the brickwork, but the distance you have is very small to the walls. The heat wont be able to radiate from the stove.

How many threads do you want to start on the same subject?

You could gather all your written evidence and start County Court Proceedings in the Small Claims Court. Its relatively straight forward to do and will only cost you around £150. Your local County Court (in England & Wales) will be able to assist you. The limit for a claim in the SCC is £5000...

How much is the repair cost then??????! I take it the underground drain pipes are blocked by roots? The downpipe is the vertical pipe that runs down the wall from the roof gutter. I initially thought i'd have to agree with the neighbours insurance co, but what if the blockage occured in a years...

Those other houses are totally different to yours! Concrete roofs. You wont be able to do that to your house. Either renovate the house with a pitched roof or rebuild it to what you want. It would cost a lot of money to put any sort of flat roof on your existing building. That house is not in...

Without seeing it its hard to say. If its a kitchen id say bash any lumps down & self-level & tile it??

Can you get any pics of the houses with the flat roofs you mention?

Calm down dear, its only a Forum :mrgreen: Class!

We agree with RonnyRaygun, thats good advice. Your aim in this project was not to save money on heating costs for one room was it? If it was to make the room more attractive then go ahead. Up to you whether to call in a surveyor. Insulation wise you are limited to the depth of your purlin...

He sounds like a decent guy. Doesnt look like it needs rebuilding from the pics but we cant see any lean or one side of the stack. The thing is you will have to have scaffolding for a rebuild wheras repointing may have been able to be done from ladder. Scaffolding is always safer of course. If...

Cellotex and kingspan are just different brands of the same type of solid foam, foil faced insulation. Tell the roofer you would like the felt removed to inspect the underlying joists and you want him to install 270mm of rockwool insulation in the 'new' roof space. Also you need some sort of...

Well if its not leaking there is nothing to worry about regarding felt, you would have to strip the roof to install it. When you say yo want to expose the roof timbers do you mean the purlins and possibly you have an 'A' Frame? If so, then go for it. Insulate between the rafters with...

You dont need 5 chimney pots if you only use 1 fire. Theyre very tall wonky pots too. I would advise dropping a liner down to the fireplace in use. Remove the four remaining long pots & replace with possibly two short pots with vented cowls. I say only two pots possibly as often all the chimney...

That guttering is sloping downwards towards the corner of the house instead of sloping towards the outlet. Unless its a trick of the pic? Its bogging anyway, get that changed & run properly whether or not you throw money at any other 'cures' it will benefit you. :wink:

No. There are certain internet sites where you can check a roofers rated recommendations from previous customers. Maybe try that? If i lived in your area i would have been up that roof in a flash, given an honest asessment & done the job. Shame i dont like Kent much or i think id make a good...

If its only an outhouse then you could possibly screw short timber noggins between the rafters, running them the correct way for the battens to sit on. Got an impact driver?

They dont get the job unless they can tell you the problem & quote to repair before you pay for 'unnecessary' scaffolding then do they :!: :)

You should have lead flashing covering the join from the house to the garage roof? You tuck the sheet under the lead & fold lead over. If you are reallly worried about the sheet working loose then you could fix another batten over the sheet under this lead with masonry nails & weight down if you...
