  • Timber for roof shingles

    How long does the timber below roof shingles tend to last? Does it depend on the type of wood? And if so, could you give me an idea of what applies to each option? What are the pros and cons of each type of underlaying timber for roof shingles? Thanks for your time!

    Do I need a new bathroom?

    Hi, I moved into my first council property and the bathroom is an adapted wet room fitted for the previous tenant, the problem I have with the bathroom is that it has no windows and no fan just a small vent the bathroom gets very wet as there is no shower tray and the floor gets floode and a lot of steam from te shower causing mould to grow a lot on the ceilings and tiles grout and sealant, everywhere and I feel that because the bathroom has no ventilation a wet room wouldn’t be suitable as this will be a continuous problem with the mould? I would like to put forward a complaint to the council with regards to the poor design, but wanted to know from a professional point of view If what I am saying is correct.

    If there are hold ups with materials, can the order of fitting out an extension be changed, such as installing windows, floors etc? Are builders generally used to being flexible or does everything grind to a halt?
