Water coming in from roof
There is water coming in from my roof and also the neighbours roof is having problems. We need to find the source of the leak.
Roof connecting
I am having my roof done and we are an end terrace, therefore connected to another terrace house. My roofer has taken the mortar that was connecting the two roofs off to fix our problem and has found problems with weatherproofing with next doors roof. Should he have informed next door first of any potential problems before starting the work?
Bonding gutter cleaning
Hello. Which tradesperson should I refer to to get the roof bonding gutters cleaned? Thanks
Roof - has a lead soaker been fitted
Hi a roofer has replaced a broken ridge tile and said fitted a lead soaker, I expected to see this but all I can see is cement. Is there anyway to tell if it has been fitted?
how to dispose of roof tiles
I’m replacing two roof tiles. Can I throw these tiles in an ordinary bin? Should they go in a recycling bin? Or are roof tiles the sort of material that need to be disposed of with a unique waste disposal approach?
Replacing roof tiles detached house
My neighbour is being a problem we want to replace a roof tiles on our house. But how would it be possible if he doesn’t allow us access to get scaffolding up on his side. 3 sides of the roof can be replaced but the side which is on the neighbours side won’t be reached as cannot get any scaffolding up. Any idea what can be done.
Bonding tiles old or new?
Neighbour’s have just had a new roof and their roofer has bonded in the original very old tiles from when these houses were constructed 1950-60’s into my 5-6 year old roof. The old tiles have also been painted previously. They have used a bonding gutter in between but have put old tiles every other tile going down my roof front and back. Should the roofer not have found similar new tiles like mine and used them? Rather than the old painted tiles which were obviously at the end of their service life which is obviously why the neighbour was changing their roof.
Loft insulation
I have a bedroom which is part of an extension with 3 outer walls. The room Is freezing and I have cut a hole in the ceiling to see if there is loft insulation up there. There is 150mm, however they have placed it over the joists not in between them, meaning there is a gap between the ceiling plasterboard and insulation. Would this be the cause of the room being so cold? Will cold air from the eaves circulate in this space and cause the cold?
Leaking guttering and down pipe
Home report says potential leaking guttering/down pipe. Gutters are cleaned annually. On inside of ground floor flat, in bottom corner of the room there is some mould on the bottom of the wall. This is near to where the down pipe is externally. Could this potentially be due to leaking down pipe? Damp meter readings all seem within acceptable levels. Or, could this perhaps only be due to bedside cabinet too close to wall and not enough air circulation? Thank you
Should I insulate between joists or rafters?
Should I insulate my loft between the ceiling joists or the roof rafters? Or both?
