Always difficult to get across differing levels of experience in disciplines on a forum. I have good experience in electronics but not such a level of experience of boilers and their workings. Tony nudged me in the right direction, and an Ariston engineer nailed it with the possible relay fault...

Despite the naysayers, replacement relay still working fine after 10 years! Diagrams from service manual that detail the relay;

Use another piece of wood parallel and fill with concrete to form a small lip then remove when cured. Concrete Lip Retaining Gravel by SEDIY posted 21 Aug 2021 at 4:45 PM

I've used stick on flashing tape on the underside as a temporary bodge fix (that then lasted years). Also slotted some DPC cut from a roll, worked a treat for a temp/bodge repair (well stopped the drips until I could get outside and clip the slates in back in place) Then saved money until we...

Just seemed weird that all the other battens were graded and the first 5 results from searching on BS5534 suggested it was mandatory. from https://www.roofinglines.co.uk/blog/what-do-roofers-need-to-know-about-the-bs5534-changes My bad, admittedly after reading some more it appears it is not a...

Also just noticed that the bottom two battens are non-BS 5534 battens, is this not mandatory?

There is no venting at all as far as I can see. This is the relaying of the slates up to the verge in post #21 The image in post#14 shows the new verge from the same elevation. Whole roof

Looking at a picture from a few months ago, the original slates are flat to the rafter. I'm assuming the slates further up are sitting on a bed of mortar. This is no longer the case. (I've tweak the sky in the photo to show the slate line better). EDIT: to clarify this picture is from before...

That's a whole other story! When we bought the house the roof had partial sarking felt visible in the loft. We can only assume, when our next door neighbour had their roof replaced, they also replaced some of our's to the ridge-line. We were only able to see the other side once the scaffold was...

Our roof terminates higher than our neighbours. The ridge with the two combs are the same ridge that is uncovered in picture below. Thanks datarebal for the detailed advice.

Sorry, my mistake, it was mop stick (dunno where arris came from!).

We found 2 properties in our area with similar looking verges using a plastic strip, these could be proper verge strip or may have been done by the same company. It already looks slightly rippled, freshly installed. Some of the lead verge strips we looked at, on other houses, the lead has...

Every diagram I have viewed seems to show zero kick or a base course and slate above as kicked out (by the fascia board) and courses above this are flat with the remaining slates. Took a drive round our area to look at other roofs. All the dry verge systems we saw had zero kick, only the old...

I'm certain they didn't move/replace the fascia, as can been seen here the paint is peeling off the old fascia. I removed the new guttering and sanded the paint flat, ready for painting. I didn't take any pictures with the guttering off. Wishing now I had. The lead and membrane looks a bit...

The plastic is square downpipe cut lengthwise to form an L angle and siliconed down the eaves. I think I may need the local Building Regs. to take a look. Trade body CoRC suggested I contact Trading Standards.

I've been on the lookout for similar. I bought a cheap IdeaNext camera that worked well then gave up the ghost after 20 months. When it worked, it had Dynamic DNS support and access through their website for remote viewing. Also had SD card for local storage with remote playback. Recently been...

Thanks for the recommendation of squirting some mastic into the gaps. (The roofers "fix" so far has been to trowel some mortar into the edge). I'm more worried about the fact that the slates do not overlie flat on top of each other and I can clearly see the nails haven't penetrated all the way...
