Hi Colin….thanks for this…..I’m guilty of laziness here as I’ve obviously heard of K-rend but not spent anytime looking into it….I’ve sat on the fence too long just over-thinking things. I think the problem with cavity fill is that there are so many examples of poor results because of the...

Yes but that doesn’t solve the aesthetics and causes me more issues….ie ”much easier“ - for starters you haven’t met my missus 😂 …..also, and back to the condensation issue, further INTERNAL insulation will only pull the dew point backwards into the cavity increasing the likelihood of IC……I...

I’ve been following this conversation with interest and here’s my query…..our 1960’s bungalow has the ugliest facing brick known to man 😢 but does have nice wide soffits 😊. The cavity walls were ‘bead’ filled many years previous to us moving in and, perhaps fortuitously, we have had no issue...

Obviously difficult to tell exactly off of the photos but, in my opinion, it looks very much like a repair I’ve not long completed on my cousins house. Their slate roof/lead valley junction was crazily difficult to get to (because of the position of a lower lean to) and so I could only offer to...

Here you go…..

Bloody wow!

No, they’ve had it for 11yrs. No shower, only wc. (y)

(y)…..and I went to a grammar school! :oops: ..plus I’ll do anything for food :ROFLMAO:

Thanks for all the responses, I’ll try to ‘cover’ all queries/advice here…. The roof construction is somewhat as expected in that it’s a combination of trusses (the majority) with some cut rafters - everything at 600 centres. Based on the minimum lap specified for the tiles (75mm) the gauge...

Ha….I’ve only just got that!

I’ll tell you one advantage to helping out a mate…..his wife is a ‘feeder’ and so I haven’t had to take any food with me whatsoeve! :love:

Yeah, sorry….went on a bit

Aha! I have her in mine too…..controls my extractor. I took the plunge after questioning Peter Millard about “would she hear me” above machine noise. I’ve also updated to the R3 version as it takes multiple remote controls whereas the original (R2) only allowed control from one (4...

Thanks for all the ideas/questions/responses…..I’ll give you more info (sorry, I didn’t offer it before as I simply thought you’d like to see how bad this roof was). The WHOLE house was a self-build 11yrs ago and, although I knew my mate had bought it, I didn’t realise the original...

Thought I’d share this with you…... Mate of mine bought a lovely bungalow 11 years ago and, as I transpires, has suffered numerous roof leaks throughout that period. Having identified certain ‘issues’ I’ve ended up giving him a hand to reroof certain sections. Here‘s 2 photos taken yesterday...

:oops::oops::oops::oops:

It looks much like the ‘normal’ Chinese mass selling sites to me. It also shows the PayPal logo at the bottom too which, should you decide to buy, would be how I would choose to pay. I'm also wondering the name somewhat gives it away as another Chinese copy site ie Cfit…….counter-fit?? 🙂

I tend to dwell on things that could occur and so every time I used to use my grinder/cutter and my palm router I had to stop myself thinking about them causing havoc if they got wrenched out of my hands because of their on/off switching (I’ve had no accidents btw)…..that was until recently when...

Although I’ve never tried it on glass I’ll second the use of the multi tool. I’ve just finished removing ‘old’ adhesive from the back of reclaimed solid oak flooring which was an absolute nightmare until I remembered the resonator.....worked a treat. As you use it flat I would think it should...
