Hi, We have a leak coming through to our living room ceiling from the flat roof/terrace above. The terrace is currently covered with felt and water pools. We have had a number of trades come around to quote to resurface the terrace, most have said they wouldn't replace it with anything else other than fibre glass which we can't afford. One company has suggested removing the felt, adding a bitumen layer, PVA and then self-levelling compound with a 10mm drop/slop so the water drains off. Around the edge of the terrace they will install edge panels with waterproof sealant. Does this sound like a suitable fix as I'm nervous about paying the money to find its not fit for purpose at a later date. Many thanks Nic

Is it good practice to fit step and cover flashing to go over plain profile tiles (Terreal clay) rather than use traditional method using soakers and flashing not showing over tile?

I have a semi detached house with a flat roof. We would like to convert our roof to a pitched roof with a room but our neighbours (also flat roof) aren’t in a position to do their roof. Can we turn our side into a pitched roof and their side left flat?

Can any body tell me the standard or regulations when replacing both roof and felt on a semi detached property? Is fitting a bonding gutter possible without compromising next doors roof? My felt appears to have dropped on my side where the neighbours have had their roof done.

Hi. I live in a semi-detached house and share a roof with my neighbour. My neighbour has a new roof fitted and they replaced my tiles without asking me. They have used different tiles which appear to be a different colour than mine (orange). Again no-one has asked me about this. Also, there appears to be a massive gap now between the tiles on my roof and tiles on my next-door neighbours. What should I do??

How much it would be to remove one chimney stack that's not in use, install new lead flashing around shared chimney and concrete the flaunching? This installation is on a shared chimney stack. Additionally, how much would it cost to re-render where there is evidence of some cracks? Many thanks.

I live in a semi detached Bungalow and I am planning to have a new roof. My neighbours roof is antic brown and I will be having dark grey tiles. My roofer has suggested that I have brown ridge tiles between myside and theirs, as to have dark grey ones on the ridge might cause issues with the neighbour. I don't really know what this would look like as I can't visualize things very well. Is there anywhere I could see a picture of this type of thing?

Should I insulate my loft between the ceiling joists or the roof rafters? Or both?

We went to view a terraced house we're interested in buying and noticed a brown stain in the ceiling of the second bedroom. The condition of the roof from the outside looked suspect. Is it possible this brown stain is coming from the poor roof? It didn't appear damp but the ceiling was supposedly newly decorated so strange that this has appeared.

I have a flat roof extension to the rear which has lead flashing where the main house joins the roof of the extension. I am about to have 100mm of external insulation and render fitted. Should new flashing be provided on to the new render, or will the existing flashing still be ok.
