Thanks for the comments. I liked the idea of the insulated metal cladding just struggled to find any local installers of it.

Thanks for the information. This wasn't a particularly cheap mistake to make, so pretty disappointing the corrective work is so drastic.

I've gone back through our paperwork. His initial quote was for grey trims turned down into existing gutter. His opinion is it wasn't part of his job and isn't interested in coming back. Admittedly a mistake on my side and didn't really consider the consequences at the time. I'm already struggling getting a roofer to come take a look at the guttering to sort out, but what's the main points they need to address?

thanks for all the comments. A couple pictures attached. This is just a utility area. The main area was insulated with recticel, with the insulation roof lagging just used at the ends for some reason. The original glass roof was removed, but the original conservatory style gutter which connects to an alloy beam (synseal eaves gutter) was left in place. Unfortunately water is getting in behind the gutter and making its way down the inside of the patio door. First pictures shown above show the gutter removed. The alloy beam sits about 100mm back from the roof lip. I'm struggling to figure out how I can replace the guttering and make it watertight above the patio door. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Would it be acceptable to deepen the timber fascia by adding another piece of timber below the existing? Theres probably 5mm between the plastic fascia and the roof lip is this enough to get a gutter and clip in to?

Good afternoon. Looking for some guidance on what to do with our flat roof gutter. The roof was recently changed to a flat roof, previously being a glazed roof. The current guttering is based around the previous conservatory guttering system, but having pulled the gutter off I can see the roof insulation is coming through and water is collecting in the channel behind the gutter. I'm looking for ideas on how this should be sealed and finished properly please.

ProDave, no issues with a wet room, infact I really like how you've done your bathroom. The rest of my household is unfortunately pretty care free when it comes to splashing water everywhere and can just see a wetroom leading to water making its way out the bathroom and into the adjoining hallway.

RichardL, thanks for your comment. I guess my main concern with the over bath shower is water getting absolutely everywhere. My experience of over bath showers is typically that that water has one way or another ended up all over the bathroom floor. For my sanity I'd just rather know leak damage was being minimised as far as possible.

Mr Punter, point taken thanks. Pictures now to same orientation hopefully. - While I have seen a few good over bath options, I've never seen an over bath option that properly contains the water when having a shower. So my preference is to eek out room for a dedicated shower if possible. - We do have a separate WC elsewhere to hopefully help alleviate the morning rush.

Omnibuswoman. Thanks for your reply. Have you spec'd the overflow filler tap yet? Was keen on the grohe talentofill, but then noticed it has to run through a separate shower diverter, which doesn't really fit with what we're trying to achieve.

Good morning, I'm really looking for comments or suggestions for our bathroom renovation. The plan as it currently sits, is to take a wall down a move the door to create a larger space. Our requirements are to have a separate shower & bath. Young children so wet room isn't really practical, and to have everything as accessible for repairs / maintenance as possible. Can anyone suggest any layout alternatives please? Should the door open against the toilet or shower? Taken note of the Mcalpine traps for the shower and bath, are there any other top suggestions for things to incorporate into a new bathroom? Thanks.

Markc, thanks for the comment. This would make a nice clean aesthetic, how can it be wall mounted whilst also making the tap mixer accessible when things start go wrong to replace etc? We currently have a bath tap that's so boxed in we have to dismantle the whole bathroom to be able to access for a replacement and really hoping to avoid this scenario going forward. Thanks

Good evening, Planning our bathroom refit and would appreciate any advice people may have for accessible plumbing options with a double ended bath. Bath will be against a wall on 2 sides, with bath panels on 2 other sides. Initial thoughts are to have the bath overflow facing the wall and fitting a grohe talentofill overflow, waste filler tap so we could pull the bath panel off and have access to the tap easily. Ideally I would like to add a shower head and thermostatic mixer to this setup and looking for any advice on how this can be achieved / mounted whilst still making everything easily accessible when things start going wrong. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. The DPC has been put in between house brickwork and concrete slab pathway.

Thanks. Not quite sure what it's trying to achieve
