Hello. 3 years ago we had 2 new upvc bay windows fitted by an established company in the London area. The ground floor window has sealant between the sill and the brickwork, the first floor window does not. We have damp on the first floor interior wall below the window but not on the ground floor wall below its bay window. There are large gaps between the first floor bay window sill and brickwork and 2 packing strips can be seen from street level on both sides of the bay window. (cant get photos to upload to site). I have several questions and will appreciate any thoughts. 1. Am I correct in thinking that this is how water is getting in? 2. Is it normal to seal gaps under a ground floor window sill but not a first floor sill? 3. Should I ask the installers to come back and seal the gaps? Regards DaveAF -
I have scoured `YooChube for how to videos without success, so I'm asking here. This is such a basic question Im almost embarrassed to ask.....? Which way round do you lay roofing felt - top to bottom or vice versa.? My roofing felt is Kloeber NG. I ask because I'm trying to avoid walking on it as I'm laying it: seems to me to be an avoidable risk. If I were to lay it bottom to top, I'd have to lay temporary battens, (so I can walk up the rafters) which would then mean sealing those holes when the battens are removed. And I'm wondering if it's possible to avoid that. I'll be laying it on my own.... So top to bottom will be a right pain. A bit easier if I get up there very early because it'll be calmer then. Ya just can't get the staff these days squire. Yours sincerely, The Roofing Virgin
