Hello! I'm just about to get the tiling finished on my new clay tile roof. On my previous concrete tile roof moss was always a problem since I'm surrounded by trees. Simply put is there any good solution I can do now whilst it's still mostly new to help stop moss growth?

Mad rush to screwfix. I got a few ducts in one location but not the other... threw them in as they were pouring the screed. Better than nothing..

What would you hold it down with? I'm worried it will float. Also got potential crossing of UFH

Hello folks. I have around 250mm of insulation with some water pipes underneath and UFH pipes installed on top. I've just realised I need networking / power and speaker cable to next to my sofas and kitchen island. See above pictures, do I panic cancel the screed company who are due at 9 or is there something I can do in a few hours before they arrive?

The roofer suggested lead valleys too. Think that's probably the way forwards! Cheers for the extra input.

Hello folks. I have a roofer due to come today and I ordered a "closed dry valley" system. My worry is I'm surrounded by trees and this will get clogged and full of junk. I can get something like this GRP open dry valley locally and collected easily or I can opt for something like a Kytun Aluminium valley which will take 2 weeks to come. https://www.travisperkins.co.uk/fibreglass-valleys/danelaw-group-tile-valley-trough-grey-380mm-x-3m-rp3/p/915427 I can't really see the valleys from ground level so this is all about performance. Any thoughts on what I should do?

Hello folks! A quick sanity check. Norrsken want quite a sum of money ( it will be around £1200 inc vat on around 10 windows / doors ) Simply put should I leave it to them or do it myself? I am guessing there is a few hundred pounds worth of tape there. Norssken use 'Elite Installations' to do their installs.

I have a quote from guttercrest. You got some pictures of the finished product?

Got any pics? Happy with finish?

Hello folks! I am in the process of renovating my bungalow. Got lots of posts here but I am wondering if I should use anyone in particular for my aluminium downpipes / gutters / soffits and fascias? I will be going for Basalt Grey - RAL7012 These are the companies who have quoted so far and prices coming back in the 6-10k range for everything. https://www.marleyalutec.co.uk/products/ https://www.guttercrest.co.uk/downpipes/ https://alugutter.co.uk/collections/aluminium-guttering Anyone have any thoughts or recommendations?

I am in the process of sarking my roof with Steico Universal 22mm wood fibre boards. One thing I am trying to decide is the best approach for the roof membrane. My joiner is currently on site and plans to staple the membrane on top of the sarking boards as he goes. The alternative is to leave this step for the roofer when he arrives, which would mean potentially fewer staple penetrations in the membrane but means I have to wait longer to be watertight Any thoughts around this?

In respect of EWI? That's likely the material I'll have to go with for EWI anyway above DPC.

120EWI all the way around with a combination of either render or cladding finish.

I've recently sacked my builder. Whilst trying to fix some issues he left behind I remember someone commenting on my DPC Tray at the bottom of my walls. They are either sagging or flat. Id like some thoughts about how serious this is and what I should do?

I am in the process of rebuilding my roof and one of the roofers I had out is recommending Kytun dry valleys. My current materials are already on order from Henshaws and include ( see pic attached at bottom for specifics ) Tiles & T&Hs Tile Vents Ridges Dry Ridge Kit Dry Upstand Valleys Felt Support Trays Dry Verge Tile Nails My house amongst trees in a forested and moss prone environment with lots of leaf fall. Are Kytun Valleys worth it in a leafy mossy area? Do they shed debris well, resist moss build up compared with mortarless valley troughs? Are they compatible with Sandtoft 20/20 tiles? Any issues with battens, valley board requirements etc? Any recommendations for Kytun model to choose for 20/20s and any ends or connectors I should order? Install and detailing: Eaves and ridge junction details for Kytun valleys Jointing between lengthsm gaps and any particular recommended fixings? Any recommended leaf guards, things to stop birds? If Kytun is the better route, I plan to return the generic valley troughs and order the Kytun equivalents. Anyone who has advice, experience or even some pictures to share would be great!
