    New Build Ceiling Sloping

    I’m not sure 12mm drop over 1m classes as slight but judging by the replies on here it may be a case of more hassle than it’s worth to fix. Appreciate all the responses as ever

    New Build Ceiling Sloping

    Yes that’s my plan tbh. Reboard level and skim and job done. Shouldn’t be a huge fix (he says!)

    New Build Ceiling Sloping

    I don't think you are being facetious and appreciate the reply It’s more than just an ‘out building’. It’s a self contained fully functioning garden room with all the bells and whistles. The contract states “internal room height 2.2m”. No mention of having/not having a slope to the ceiling...

    New Build Ceiling Sloping

    I didn’t specify anything but I would assume a ceiling under a flat roof would be level. Yes I know the flat roof has a slight slope to it but surely not the ceiling?

    New Build Ceiling Sloping

    It’s bizarre. The finish on the rest of the building is to such a high standard as well. I can’t work out if they genuinely didn’t notice the error or hoped I wouldn’t spot it. I can’t unsee it now. I spent ages trying to level the TV... nearly went to buy my spirit level a new bubble :)

    New Build Ceiling Sloping

    I’ve had a new wooden framed building (6m x 4m) built and now I am starting to put items on the wall it’s apparent the ceiling is sloping. Height difference from floor to ceiling across the 4m width of the room is ~5cm. It’s most apparent around a small window and the TV on the wall. Is there an...

    Damn incurable damp patch!

    We moved into a house a couple of years back. It’s fair to say it was a 'doer upper' suffering from a few years of neglect. In an upstairs back bedroom is a damp patch on a wall that appeared whenever it rained with water running down the wall from underneath coving (the room is under a flat...

    Determined to fix my damp problem under new flat roof

    You're not the first person to say that! Don't know now why I just didn't asked the roofers to lose it when we had the flat roof done. Thanks for replying

    Determined to fix my damp problem under new flat roof

    Actually (thinking on the go here!) ... I will probably screw down in a couple of places rather than batton/clamp to ensure a nice big overhang onto the roof and keeping the drips well away from the wall.

    Determined to fix my damp problem under new flat roof

    I had new EPDM roof installed last year. Since installation we have had some issues with damp on walls under part of the roof. I have had roofer back and been on roof with him but we can not find any fault with installation. My thoughts have now turned to the parapet wall (urgh) which is...

    Aluminium parapet wall capping (coping)

    Couldnt find any answers under a search so to keep this quick and easy....Anybody used Aluminium coping? Easy enough for a diy-er? I have a parapet wall surrounding a flat roof which I am fairly certain is contributing to damp issues. Wall currently is double height standard brick with no...

    Trench digging ... should I give it a go myself?

    Its the reinstatement of the surface that probably lends me most to just paying up and being done with it. Though I do like the idea of getting sloshed above :lol:

    Trench digging ... should I give it a go myself?

    Need 4m of 100mm pipe installed under a block paved drive. Linking an exisiting soil pipe to an exisiting inspection chamber. Been quoted between 1200 and 1500 for the work but as a fairly competent DIY-er I cant help but think this is a job I could manage myself. Any opinions? Time is always an...

    Fixing items 'to' Kingspan

    Thanks for the contributions all. Bracket had numerous fixing points so went for half right through into the masonary and half heavy duty plasterboard plugs. Feels solid enough (for now!)

    Fixing items 'to' Kingspan

    Have searched this site but only seem to find how to fix Kingspan to the wall. I've done that bit! Now I am interested to know what type of fixing I should use to fix items (TV in this case) to it? Aiming for the stud work I guess doesn't work as this is some 50cm back behind the insulation. Do...

    Damp on a single skin breeze block wall

    Hi, I have recently moved into a house with a single skin breeze block extension on the back. I have internally insulated downstairs using batons and Kingspan (many thanks to a great DiyNot post explaining how to do this). I am about to start on the bedrooms but in one room there is a...
