  • Should I Install Trickle Vents?

    I had new windows fitted 5 years ago without trickle vents. Can I get these fitted retrospectively? Will it solve a minor condensation problem?

    Joining Oak Beams

    I am building a lean-to car port and have installed the 3 uprights in 100mm x 100mm x 3m in oak. I was planning to build the roof structure in softwood using 75mm x 50mm with a 5m long cross member on the top of the oak uprights. Due to an ordering error I have 2 extra 100mm x 100mm x 3m oak pieces. How could I connect these on the top of the uprights, I was planning to use 150mm timber lock through the soft wood cross member but if using the oak would have to abut the 2 ends of the oak beams on top of the centre upright. Is there a special bracket/connector for the centre column? Thanks in advance for your comments. Andrew

    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?
