Converting garage flat roof to a pitched roof. Need advice
We’re looking at doing a garage roof conversion and not sure what’s involved in changing the roof shape. Do you need planning permission for that? What's the cost for a garage roof conversion?
How often should gutters be cleaned
I have read some guides online that suggest this is done twice a year, but is this really necessary? I'm a new homeowner and I don't want to waste money if I can push it longer than that
Hole in roof valley lead
While painting our house, we've noticed there's a hole in the lead flashing on the valley of the roof. Can it be patched or does it need taking out and replacing?
recommended types of soffits and fascias for durability

How much to remove asbestos garage roof and replace?
Is removing an asbestos garage roof and replacing it likely to be expensive? Looking at quotes on forums and getting all sorts of figures. I’m just trying to understand what a typical bill might look like for a single garage here in the UK before booking anyone. Can anyone tell me what to expect?
Gable End Restraint/Straps
Hi, buying a 1970s house and survey reports: "End restraint is inadequate to the roof structure and gable wall straps should now be fitted, to connect the roof structure to the end walls. These are galvanised steel connectors which should be spaced along the roof and ceiling timbers at maximum of 2-metre intervals. They should be sufficiently long to be fixed to three of the roof timbers and have suitable noggins between the roof timbers." How much would this work cost approximately? Can the straps be attached to the brick, rather than making a hole to get strap through?
Holes in roof felt
There are a few holes in our roof felt. Does the whole lot need replacing or can it be patched?
Exhaust Vent in Soffit
There's a bathroom exhaust vent above my bedroom window on the first floor which looks awful, you can even see the duct inside when you're looking up from the garden. I want to get rid of it but I can't afford to replace the whole soffit. I was wondering if replacing just that section of the soffit above the window is an option or if there's another way to repair it. The current soffit is made of UPVc.
cost of replacing 15 linear metre area of aluminium guttering for uPVC
I have a 15 linear metre area of guttering along the front of my house and the same coverage along the back of my house. In both cases it is aluminium guttering that is present. I’d like to have both areas (so 30 metres in length of gutters altogether) replaced with uPVC guttering. How much can I expect to pay a guttering installer to perform this work in terms of their installation fee? And how much will the new gutters cost? What about the cost of removing the old guttering? Am I best hiring a skip or will most professionals sort this out for me and I pay them a charge as part of my overall bill? I’d just like to know how this works. Thanks for your time.
