Photo of the worst one

Just had a bit of roof work done near the ridge. The replacement concrete tiles about 2 of them have slightly chipped corners at the bottom. The scaffolding is still in place and the tiles can't be seen from the ground at the moment. My other half went on the scaffolding to have a close look and...

How old is the property ? Is it near a chimney breast? If it's a roof leak, or communal pipe not solely yours, it's the freeholder's responsibility, not just yours so let them know.

The main problem, as always, is finding trades that you can trust

Hi Ree I'm trying to understand the need for ventilation is a stack is removed to under the tiles

My plumber got involved: "the bit where you thought there should be an Allen key head is a button. Push the head in and pull the square section away from the wall slightly, repeat with the top bracket and the whole rail can be removed. Replacing is just lining top and bottom of the rail on to...

I have a set of allen keys but they won't go in the 'hole' because they is something smooth in the way. There is no hexagonal indent to get purchase

In the instructions you linked to, it uses m4 screws. I'm not seeing a screw in the hole. It's smooth. How do I get to the screw (if there is one)
