    Firber cement sheets splitting

    We can supply Soudagum in 1kg or 5kg tubs. We have a contractor that uses it to repair fibre cement or asbestos cracks. He normally uses a wire brush to get the debris from around the area and then paints it on. If the crack is to big he will use a gauze up the length of the crack to give it...

    Best type of roof sheets?

    As @designanddetail mentioned, a built up system is the better way to go without the grp. Drip-Stop backed sheeting is really designed for a roof pitch 10° or over. With a built up system you would be able to do a 100mm build for the price of a 40mm panel.

    Big six tin

    If we do decide to have these in stock there wouldn't be any set up fees for our stock items. If it was an order manufactured to your lengths and quantities, then yes, there would be a setup charge. @Doing it for the kids What is your feedback on the sheet lengths?

    Big six tin

    Thanks @bobk. We did have these in stock but when the steel prices went up it wasn't cost affective to keep them in stock. I have thought recently about stocking these again in the below sizes. 4.275mtr 2.900mtr 1.525mtr The only issue is the price, they would be £21.45 + vat per l/m.

    You can get a few different types of material for foam fillers. PE is your standard Black / White liquorice coloured filler. These are a cheap and cheerful foam filler but birds and mice do tend to nibble through the filler. If i remember right, the EPDM filler is a really nice firm filler but...

    Attaching wood to steel RSJ..how to?

    These are the fixings you would normally use if you are fitting timber to heavy steel. It has small wings on it to bore a slightly bigger hole through the timber and as it goes into the steel these will break off. You may need to screw these at 300mm centres along the timber. Normally when you...

    Which tin profile and why?

    Sorry for not replying @Steevo, for some reason I haven't been getting notifications and the app kept closing when I try to go onto it. The main reason the profiles are different is due to repeat custom. If you had a Euroclad 32/167/1000 profile for one roof and then TATA 32/1000 for another...

    Which is the best fixing to secure box profile PVC coated roofing sheets to wood?

    For a new build roof with timber purlins and box profile sheeting we would recommend a TF45G19 tek screw which will give approximately 40mm embedment into the timber. Our main fix tek screws come with a galvanised washer which has a 2 - 3mm EPDM sealing washer. The recommended fitment for a...
