Lean to Flashing

Evening all,

I am building a lean to down the side of my house. Timber frame supporting polycarbonate roof. Has anyone got any experience with the butyl based flashing over the bitumen based ones?

Thanks,

Paul

Bentley LVT - Any good?

Hi there,

I have found a brand of LVT called Bentley. 2.5mm thick, 0.55mm wear layer with some of the range offering life time guarantee. For example

Does anyone have any experience? Any recommendations? Basically looks like Karndean spec, but cheaper.

Thanks in advance

Loft Ventilation - soffit and gable venting

I have just bought a 1970's house with no loft insulation or no ventilation. I need to address both. How many 70mm soffit vents should I install approximately? 1 per 1m, 1.5m, 2m etc?
