  1. Just finished reading one of the presenters (Guy) books. He went out and lived in the wild in Alaska for 12 months. Theres a recipe for beaver (not that kind) in the back of the book !

  2. For the safety aspect have a look at HETAS (I think thats how it's spelt). They certify soild fuel burners a bit like gas safe with gas appliances, or your local building control (council) can do it

  3. If you’r after a breather-able membrane, Tyvek are a big manufacturer. However there are loads of other branded membranes on the market. Just have a chat with a local builder’s merchant.

  4. I dont know of any that are recomended to 10.5 but im interested in what head lap they would have let us know cheers Kev

     

    Don't much about the details but the tile is called 'CENTURION' I think its manufactured by Forticrete, they state it's the only tile that can be be laid down to 10 degree. Hope thats of some use to you. :yes:

  5. There are pan tiles out there that can be laid down to 10.5 degree. The only thing that really changes is that most tiles will require a greater head lap at lower pitches. Just remember you will need building regulations and to insulate the roof to a reasonable level

  6. Having had to all but use a crow bar to get into my frozen car this morning, I then thought it was a good idea to try and open the electric window, SNAP!!

     

    Landrover want £ 112 + vat for a new mechanism.

     

    Now I've seen repair kits on ebay for about £20 (you have to fit a new cable to the regulator) - I just wanted to know if any one had used one of these kits and if so, are they easy to fit?

     

    Cheers.

     

    Oh yeah, it a freelander mk 1

  7. Do it yourself!! You can get an EPC done for £50, it's only a local authority search a services (water) search a sales statment and a plan (off land registry web site)

  8. Any installation should be done to BS 7671 (i.e 17th edition). Approved document Part P of the building regulations says that works in 'special places' such as bathrooms and kitchen should be done by a 'competent' person and an installation cert issued or inspected and signed off by your local building control for a fee
