    Would you accept this timber for large garage roof

    Looks fairly standard of the stuff that you get delivered, rough with the smooth and all that. Unless you take the time to go and sort out which bits of timber you want from the supplier. Maybe next time upload even more photos.

    New build - no aerial?

    Normally , or at least in the past (20 years or so), there would be a coax cable fitted from the living area up to the loft, then the new owner is expected to fit an aerial.

    Is there a name for this common method of coping a front garden brick wall?

    I'm not sure it has a name, just tile and brick coping. 'Tile creasing coping' maybe?

    Removing front upvc door

    It will be heavy so might be helpful to have an assistant. But have you actually checked if taking the door off will be enough? How would taking the handle off help? Surely the pinch point is when then door is open - the gap between the open door on the left and frame on the right?

    Removing front upvc door

    AFAIK you need to pop that cap off (1.47), then undo the four screws (2.29) for each hinge. Unless @crank39 or @ronniecabers know of an easier/better way.

    Concrete Coping - Parapet Roof - Am I going mad?

    It doesn't always have to, if the setting out permits it then a smaller stone on each end is fine too - subject to the copings on the end not being adequate. But that's irrelevant here in anycase.

    Can water penetrate a slate roof that is in good condition?

    Ahh I see now, looking on my phone I thought we were looking at the underside of the slates, jeez yes he needs to unravel it and make it right.

    Concrete Coping - Parapet Roof - Am I going mad?

    Without knowing the length of the run and size of the stones your only other choice in that situation (apart from having a 200 slither at one end) would be to cut every coping stone down a bit. Got a photo?

    I think we can certainly draw some conclusions from these threads.

    Tyre valve stem leak

    To be fair the OP does seem quite sure of himself, unlike some others.

    Tyre valve stem leak

    I do like winding you up. Perhaps you should place the OP on ignore. The evidence is very clear.

    Can water penetrate a slate roof that is in good condition?

    The underlay is over the top, his terminology is incorrect.

    For someone who claims to have no interest you sure are invested Mottie.

    Can water penetrate a slate roof that is in good condition?

    Think your terminology is wrong there, underlay is the roof membrane, which is correctly laid over the top of the eaves tray. What is lacking is the tilting fillet, the solid timber wedge shape bit of timber that would sit under the eaves tray/membrane and prevent this sag. Obviously the battens...

    Can water penetrate a slate roof that is in good condition?

    Well he's partially right that many older roofs do not have an underlay and also do not leak. However there ought to be a continuous tilting fillet to prevent the sag you're seeing. You say he's fitted the underlay beneath the eaves tray but we can see the underlay on top?

    Tyre valve stem leak

    They can't stop reading and replying, they're obsessed with trolling you even when they have nothing useful to add. Especially Mottie.

    Splice some timber or patch it up as you wish if you like but the panels are nearing the end of their life.
