Hi guys, Currently looking at gettng my 35 year old mineral felt flat roof resurfaced as it's been end of life for a few years. Currently collecting some quotes for an EPDM rubber roof as would prefer to go that way then GRP or the hybrid systems, just seems a little less prone to pinholing...

Hello, I’ve noticed these white marks on the roof beams in the loft and am very worried it could be something serious. Please could someone tell me what it is and if it’s possible to remove? Many thanks.

Hi Everyone, I hope this is the right place for this, but I am buying a home and a survey has returned a problem in the loft. A previous tenant / builder has removed a structural beam to install a chimney flue that I think has structurally weakened the property? My question is, can this be...

Hi all, Long time lurker, new poster. I inherited a DIY garden room project when I moved house that I've been working to complete. The previous owner had laid the timber foundation, wall studs and roof joists. So far I've finished the roof with OSB and EPDM, finished the floor with plywood...

Hi there, I am currently trying to decide what tile to reroof my house with. I mentioned to a local roofer I was considering using the Marley Edgemere tile, mainly for it's low profile appearance, and was surprised he was of the opinion it was a terrible tile. Has any one experiance of using...

The PIR insulation between the rafters in our eaves is poorly fitted and either falling out, has peeling or punctured foil and there are gaps everywhere. I think the builders cut it all with a butter knife. We are about to do some work on our loft conversion-style bedroom and I would like to...

I have a wooden pergola lean to against my property. I have purchased some clear acrylic polycarbonate sheet roofing in a roll. I want to secure this to the pergola but allow it to “wiggle” in the wind to some extent - probably only in high winds as the area pick up some gusts. Is there a...

Hi I am looking to convert the garage and back utility from a flat roof into a pitched roof but the problem is that the front room has a different shaped roof than the side elevation and main roof pitch. So it has a valley. I would ideally like a pitched roof but just wanted ideas and...

Hired a guy off mybuilder last year to fix my bay window valleys, 60 odd good reviews. They did some iffy refelting, reconcreted with a mix so heavy on sand you could crush it with your bare hands weeks later, and in doing their 'work' broke several tiles and turned one slow leak into two bigger...

Hello I'm about to get started on an extension with a flat roof (approx 20m2. The architect has suggested polyroof flat roof covering instead of traditional felt roof. Apparently its better and will last longer, which I'm sure it does. Does anyone have any advice on how much the price...

Hello everyone I could do with some advice on our roof. We bought it 3 years ago, it was essentially brand new (developer knocked down bungalow and extended up). Based in Nottingham. We noticed a few small patches of water after about 12 months or so, and contacted the developer to see if...

Apologies for starting another thread, but would appreciate if someone can review my cold roof insulation plan. I have a garden room made from single skin thermalite blocks, poorly constructed over 20 years ago which I would like to insulate and improve. 1) Two 50mm holes along top of each...

I've had a rotten fascia board replaced and noticed the gap between the fascia board and the slates seems pretty large, maybe a couple inches. Does it need a drip edge installed or has the fascia just not been made big enough? Or is it all ok? It's on an extension which is about 30 years old...

Hi everyone I have noticed some streaks coming down from the ceiling in my bedroom, seemed to appear after we had the gutter repaired last week(pics attached). They aren’t wet to touch but are visible in the paint, does anyone have any idea what they are? Need to know whether to call a roofer...

Looking to access the roof of the house to investigate potential issues with the chimney, however the ridge length due to the Shape of the roof is small. Has anyone seen any sort of roof ladder that would adapt for this roof? If it came to needing work done, would there be a specific scaffold...

My recently purchased house has a lot of black and white mould on the internal roof sarking boards. This is especially bad around the chimney breast. I would obviously like to cure this issue and we have been informed that this is due to lack of ventilation only. Question is, is its a simple as...

Hello my garage has recently suffered a large leak near to the lead flashing. The builder says that it’s nothing to do with the lead however the next door neighbours is the

I live in a one bedroom house (that I own) that is connected to a symmetrical/identical house next door so my house has one half of the sloped roof and the neighbours has the other half. They put up scaffolding on Monday and works began yesterday (Thursday) to do some sort of work to their side...

Okay, so I'm guna have to call on the hive mind for a little help here, as I can't bend my head around what I need to do. I'll attach pictures to help with what I'm explaining. I've been asked to fit a prefab conservatory roof replacement from Timberlite. Which will abut an existing extension...
