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).
Roof weatherproofing
On a temporary basis, how can I protect a roof that has been damaged by a storm?
How to clean my roof tiles
Seen people jet wash them but others say that’s a bad idea. What’s the best way to clean roof tiles without causing damage?
Chimney stack removal
Can I conduct repairs and remove both my tall chimneys stacks on my roof at the end on my roof (2 storey detached house) without having to gain access to my neighbours property and erecting scaffolding over my neighbours adjacent flat garage roof which is structurally weak? Can I carry out my 2 chimney removals safely by erecting scaffolding solely on my side of my property?
Changing tile colour
I am replacing my roof and want to use grey tiles instead of the brownish ones I currently have (semi detached property), can I do this?
What is the most environmentally-friendly type of roof material?
What is the most environmentally-friendly type of roof material to use on a home and why?
Leaking Guttering
A part of guttering has been replaced to a new front section. When it rains, it is now leaking quite heavily in one or two places. Not sure if it’s under or over the guttering, but the water is running down the brickwork, which it never did before. Any idea what the problem might be and how to resolve the issue.
New roof and firewalls still leaking
I have just had a new slate roof, but no flashing has been added to the parapet and firewalls. The roofer insists that this is a separate issue and not part of the roof. The firewalls are still leaking and he insists they need to be rerendered at an extra cost. Are parapets not part of the roof?
Neighbours Roofer Carried Out Repairs On My Roof
I live in a terraced house, there is a skew between us and next door. Next door is rented, few weeks ago the landlord said he'd had front skew repaired (we'd seen they'd been getting repairs, no idea what exactly, the scaffolding just appeared one day), the back one needed doing and would we go halves. I asked him to send me the quotes he gets, he laughed and said he'd get his builder to do it. Turns out his 'builder' is a local handy man. I've since had two roofers to look at the roof, the skew definitely needs work, but the 'builder' who did the front skew has bodged it, and carried out work on our roof at the side of the skew, that now needs fixed. Where do I stand on 1) getting next door to pay for putting the dodgy work put right, and 2) stopping them doing any more work on our side of the roof? I'm having visions of coming home one day and them up on the roof without asking again, same as when the front was done!
How do I know if my new roof needs replacing
How can I know with certainty that a new roof ought to be replaced?
