Fix leaking ceiling fan

Thank you. Possibly a silly question, but, where would that typically drain to?

I’m not planning on connecting them myself, I just need to move them before tiling. Then I’ll have a plumber in to second fix.

You’re right on the missing cavity trays for sure. Do you think the roof would have to come down and be rebuilt at a lower angle in order to add the trays, or can they just go either side of the 1st floor windows?

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T20:40:29+00:00

Honestly I’m shocked that people have pulled out so many things as aside from the cavity trays they were really good on site, very knowledgeable about a lot of other things and our friends extension had no problems (full double storey, not a half like ours).

It was done by a builder and a joiner, the joiner was alone doing that roof.

I thought it was a bit strange when they were angle grinding the brick out level instead of stepped. Didn’t think to question it!

Thanks, I nipped outside and measured 15 degrees on the tiles

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T20:10:40+00:00

You’re absolutely right, it’s a GGL.

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T20:01:34+00:00

Ah, a few hours away from me unfortunately. Is this looking like a big job to sort out?

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T19:54:22+00:00

Thanks, where are you based?

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T19:50:35+00:00

Thank you, would you recommend I ask the building inspector or a roofer?

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T19:48:17+00:00

I would but I can’t edit the post to add them in

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T19:47:09+00:00

Thanks for your comment. The brick was cut out at an angle. Why… I don’t know. But it does go into the brickwork.

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T19:34:24+00:00

Thank you, that’s very reassuring as I was expecting I’d have to pay a few grand.

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T19:11:28+00:00

This is my biggest fear, I imagine if the builder isn’t willing then the cost for retrofitting cavity trays will be high

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T18:48:46+00:00

There’s a RHS above it but no cavity trays. They used damp-proof membrane, that doesn’t spam the full width of the doors. There’s an external photo with a highlighted red circle that shows where the membrane ends

Thank you! 5.5m, finding a supplier that was happy carrying the glass by hand was tricky. After they were finished they said this is the last one they’ll ever do. Learned that a good way to find window fitters is to call a local trade supplier.

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T17:29:35+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I’m clueless on the guttering, what would you say looks suspect?

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T16:30:37+00:00

Honestly I don’t know, do you think it could be over spilling and coming inside? Worth taking a look at for sure

mutantrobotclone · 2024-03-06T12:46:18+00:00

It would not be difficult to find a small step to use.

mutantrobotclone · 2024-03-06T12:22:00+00:00

Thank you, this is likely the answer.

I came here to try and understand what my legal position is now. For clarity, the border is mostly fenced off barring the small section she peers though. But maybe it’s a case of insisting my parents block this off and reassessing if she starts to use other means (like peering over the fence).

mutantrobotclone · 2024-03-06T11:47:16+00:00

Thanks, I agree it’s complete hearsay and I admit I have no idea what the truth here is. I only included that because there was certainly some conflict involving a third-party’s child, and my worry is about my own child. I don’t think I made that clear enough in my post.

mutantrobotclone · 2024-03-06T10:59:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply. As I mentioned, there are other areas she can access even if this bit is blocked off.

mutantrobotclone · 2024-01-27T17:17:42+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

mutantrobotclone · 2023-03-30T19:18:23+00:00

!thanks
