  • Can I install a new roof in the winter?

    Can I have a roof installed during the winter months or do roofers tend to take time off from working during this time due to the cold weather conditions, etc.? Thanks for your time.

    Internal walls wet and showing signs of damp

    Internal wall in bedroom sometimes feels wet - especially after winter months/heavy spells of rain. There is some staining at the top of the walls and also some areas of damp/mould in adjacent cupboard. Old chimney breast runs up same wall so suspect it is related to this. Unsure whether I need a roofer or bricklayer or even if it's related to guttering/flashing. Thankfully, it is the only room in the house which has any damp/mould but would like to get it resolved. Any hints or troubleshooting tips appreciated.

    What is the best Scaffolding to use on a small detached house.

    I live in a detached house, in Cornwall, in a rural area. The Solar panels need to be inspected, by an electritain. I have been informed that I will need to hire scaffolding. The solar panels are on the lower roof side so they are only about 8ft up, on the low roof side. What is the best scaffolding to ask for in a situation like this? My house has easy access, and I will only need it for a day. It will ony be for 1 or 2 men, and it is not high up. What is a fare price, and will a scaffolding company even deal with me since it is such a small job? Please can anyone give me some advice on the subject?

    Roof damage semi detached

    Our semi detached neighbour had a leak in bathroom which adjoins our landing wall. Roofers came recommended by letting agents and fixed their side and we asked to inspect ours whilst up there and said ours was fine. A couple of days after they finished, we found that this landing wall had damp patches (just been newly decorated) and now it is lifting the lining paper off the wall and a fine crack has now appeared. We have reported to letting agents and roofer (roofer has not responded to countless emails and voice messages). Where do we stand as we now have to get this big damp patch fixed and roof repaired before it gets worse

    Loose lead flashing

    I have lead flashing around the sides of my Chimney, from what I can see the flashing has fallen out of place apart from the very top section, which is the only thing holding it in place. Can I get it refitted without buying new lead?

    Is planning permission needed for an eco-friendly green roof?

    Do I need planning permission to build an eco-friendly green roof on a bungalow in the countryside? It is relatively isolated with no direct neighbouring properties (there is a farmer’s field on either side of my home).
