Afternoon all, Anybody here have any experience of using this system? Any success stories or bad experiences? It caught my eye today and I was considering looking at it for the roof of my apartment block which is a 30 year old flat roof needing replacing fairly soon. Here's a link to...

Ive found out the builder installed one of these instead: Type G Cavity Tray http://www.cavitytrays.co.uk/damp-proofing/view/1/26/1/type-g-cavitray For changes in levels more than anything else but I cant see it wouldn't do the job above a window. Anybody here see a problem with using...

Exactly. Or just remove the bottom bracket and slide out the bottom length of pipe. Unnecessary work and just wrong. But then that's what happens when people who know nothing bit like to pretend they do, listen to a window cleaner.

I finally managed to get hold of somebody in Building Control so will post the outcome in case it helps somebody else. No, the work would not have to comply with current building regs. Building Control would not advise it because, frankly, it would be a stupid thing to do but wouldn't get...

Yes. In my first post. I know its a flashing, I just cant work out what its doing there especially as the builder said he'd installed a new cavity tray. Wondered if any of you have seen it done like this before.

Thanks for that. I suppose that could've been used. Looking at these pictures though it doesn't look like. One course of bricks has clearly been removed and in one part a few of the course above. But I just can't work out what's been done, or what the lead is for. No other windows on the...

Afternoon all, If an apartment block, built in 1961 and therefor exempt from present building regulations, has some work done then will that work have to be building regs compliant? I know that if a new roof is put on then that will need to comply with building regulations but what if...

Okay thanks for that :) Ill see what happens, it's been there for a while but gradually getting worse, still only very thin though. It's just got me flummoxed how it's perfectly straight and full length of the room but not along a joint.

Yes thermal movement id forgotten to mention that. Ive got a picture of before the boards were fixed, ill add that now. Unfortunately I don't have one of the boards unskimmed. The crack is between the edge of the door and the light. Love to know what you think.

Greetings. Sorry that my first post is a question rather than something useful but something has be baffled and I need some help. So some background first. I live in a top floor flat. 1960s build, metal flat roof that pools terribly when it rains (Im at the highest point and can see the...
