Hi I am doing a GRP roof and was wondering if you can chase the flashining into the block or does it need to be chased into the mortar joint? Also not sure about the grey flashing being so visable on the roof due to insulation ect we will have gey flashing visable or should I use white to match the render

@JohnMo How hard was it to do your stone clading and how did you go about doing the window reveals as considering doing it myself with the clading you mentioned or zclad -

Look great, The concern I have is if I start it and make a mess of it then know one will fix it. I think I could do it and think the most dificult bit will be the window reveals and ther is 3 to do. -

Hi Yes it will be on concreat block. I have been looking at the z stone and z clad but not sure how hard it is to do myself. As I am struggling to find someone to do it. -

Was going for random rubble stone effect but may need to go for a z tile to reduce cost but still will have problems finding someone to do it -

yes that is what I am getting quoted slips are 6.3K that includes all the glue and pointing and between 5.5k to 6.5k instalation 15 to 20 days effort -
Hi I have had a quote for 50m2 and 10 liniear metres and the instalation is 15 to 20 days so £5,000 to £6,500 not sure if this sounds a bit excessive or not. Has anyone had this done and does it sound right after buying the product id is going to work out about £13,000. After that there is wood clad and render to do. It seems to be the most expecnsive bit of the house the outside.

Hi the lintel is 2.6m wide
-
Hi The rafters are already in and they run front to back 😞 The ceiling is already as low as it goes. I have 225mm from the OSB so the time I put slope on the roof and insulation ect then it is above the block mortar line so I need to go upto the next block for the flashing and will look daft
-
Hi I need to do a warm roof for my porch either EPDM of GRP the issue I have is the spec is for 170mm thick insulation on top of the OSB. If I do this the flashing will be above the weep holes for the lintel and very close to the windows and look silly. Is it possible to put 40mm of insulation on top and 15mm in the joist zone will this be OK or will I still get condensation? does the flashing need to be chased into the mortar or can I chase out the block thanks in advanced.

No Will it not be a 1" BSP thread as outside diameter according to the BSP chart is 33mm
-
Yes you are right it is an 1.25" been googling and can not find a fitting for it. I am assuming it is a BSP thread as it feels rounded at the top.
-
OK will go and measure it
-
Will check but sure they are 1" it is a Clack WS1TC
-
Great will use them and 22 mm speed fit pipe and got a couple of lengths
-
It was just trying to state I am not bothered about what I use in pipe Will the copper fitting not strip the threads of the plastic control unit? I think 22 mm will be the cheapest way to go. Is it won of these you used and sealed it with PTFE tape or did you do something else https://www.toolstation.com/made4trade-compression-coupler-female/p20725?store=HP&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&mkwid=_dc&pcrid=558023894541&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlK-WBhDjARIsAO2sErSUml29-7zZUNr_M8OY9M7WprQXUPv_IWlDycBLEVldoCYxoQrePs4aAjavEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
