    • Lead flashing required over aluminum soaker?
    Roofers - 9 answers

    Hi, I'm currently having a new roof and porch put on, but am unsure about the finishing steps at the interface of the tiles and rendered wall. The roof interfaces with two timber dormer cheeks, and one masonry dormer cheek, all of which will be rendered once the roof is completed. Currently, aluminium soakers have been installed under the tiles, finishing against the wall/cheeks. My question is: 1) should a flashing now be installed on the wall/cheeks, overlapping/protecting the soakers, with the render then bought down to slightly overlap the flashing and the edge finished with a bell bead. Or 2) Should the render bead be installed directly overlapping the soaker, and not bother with the flashing? Have looked online but can't seem to find a definitive answer. I'm a bit concerned that without a flashing there's a risk of issues in the future which will then mean having to hack the render off! Thanks for any replies.

    Ceiling Cracks after collars removed
    Roofers - 10 answers

    Hi. We recently got a small extension roof insulated with 100mm insulation boards and plasterboards on top. The guy doing the work said we could heighten the ceiling, by removing the collars that tied the two rafter sides together. He said that cause it was a small roof, that there’s not much weight and we don’t live in a climate that has much snow etc so that it would be fine. Job is less than 5 months old and the cracks have started appearing in the ceiling running along several lines. Just wondering were we fooled and if he knew what he was talking about or will our ceiling eventually collapse?

    Decorating a newbuild
    Painters & Decorators - 11 answers

    I'm going to be moving into a new build soon, and it's been decorated (quite poorly in parts) in brilliant white matt emulsion. This wouldn't be an issue if I didn't have 3 young kids, that love smearing things on walls. Is it wise to paint over the emulsion with washable vinyl silk, or will it damage the fresh plaster? Cheers.

    Should I replace my driveway?
    Driveway Specialists - 10 answers

    My concrete driveway has certainly seen better days. It’s crumbling at this stage. What can I do to fix it up and give it a fresh look and more importantly, what can I do to prevent the issue repeating? I want to give it a new lease of life but not if the problems will just comeback again a few months later. I assume the issue will eventually repeat no matter what I do. At what point, might I need an entirely need driveway laid? How can you tell the difference between a crumbling driveway that can just be fixed up with some maintenance versus a driveway that’s beyond repair and you simply need to replace with a fresh driveway?

    Handymen - 11 answers

    How much should a handyman charge me for putting up a rotary washing line? It has a ground spike which will need fixing into the ground with a bracket or cement I guess.
