Yeah but I think @Cpd is saying “drain where ?” This is all above living accommodate so the edpm is the water proofing . Once rain water gets through and lands on the edpm it is stuck until it evaporates . I’m not sure what to do now !

I think my point is even with driveway pavers some water will soak through anyway .

Yep agree ! As water is bound to get in then I think that’s why the roofer said expansion gaps - so at least it can evaporate with air flow . Because the ‘roofer’ bodged it ; it’s not like your drawing .

Hey So the layout top down is pavers sand chippings 75mm concrete reinforced edpm cement board expensive insulation concrete reinforced 100mm The 75mm concrete is ‘level’ to the other 2 edges of the plot for run off . plot has slope away from house drainage channel with be placed directly in front house and at front of plot ( gate entrance and lowest point ) that help ? ?

I’m taking a vote on this with myself . I won the vote ?

Actually thinking about it .... if if this was done correctly edpm would be up past the final paving block level . Then the flashing would hang over it and sit on the paving . Because my flashing is below ground (effectively ) any moisture that does get in there can’t escape - it’s not breathable . The expansion gap would allow condensation and air flow under the flashing lip . Have I convinced myself a lie ??? ?

Thanks ! maybe ! I don’t know Is the theory correct though ? Can’t do any harm putting it in can it ???...... Someone with more knowledge please join in ?

Ok ! got the first length in pretty good ! Over the worse of the lumps will stick ct1 all along the top and into the slot By pure chance a roofer was parked nearby so I grabbed him . Once he finished laughing he said as the flashing is below my block pavers that I should put a fibre expansion joint in front the flashing . So the concrete stops short and the expansion joint will allow any water that does get in to evaporate otherwise without it I might get the capillary action . This sound right ? If so , after googling ; can’t actually find a product ( he said 3m long 3 Inch high ) cheers

Ffs ! tnt ; next day delivery ; turns up 3 days late . Ordered 3 items , but am expecting 4 parcels ? ; just flashing has turned up Just placed it in grove too see - need to cut deeper . Also to get ‘over’ the stone bumps recon I can ‘hammer’ around them and deform the metal . No one ever sees it ?

This is good advice ! Always get the firm out first to check access and reach !

I’m not worried ? My roofer can pack out that gap with sticky gunk ?

Well ! Naturally I had to google that ! Makes my glass look cheap ! - I was thinking more M & S handbag !

I’ll throw in a real nice handbag to sweeten the deal !

Oops ! A minor slip up on my part !!! They are far better than any handbag ?

Possibly ! But I doubt it . Did you want to make an offer you lucky fella ? ?

And ! It’s even cheaper for you guys as some glazed units are available at a discounted price . You lucky , lucky people !!!

Yep I agree But as a saving it is simple to install . Sealant round hole ; push glass down - done . Obviously trying all before with no sealant . If I bust a unit ; then my fault ?

Yes ! Its not like I’m buying some cheap crap . These are basically the same price as the 1st set ; so 3.5k punt a time !!!

Exactly ! Apparently you only usually get drawings on supply AND install . No drawings for just supply - that’s insane !!! . Just got new drawings ; looks correct now ?

Apparently they design whatever you want . It’s all quite strange ; because most companies *tell* you the design ....

I did They now admit the information wasn’t passed on to the ‘design’ guy . We are going to split the cost increase !!

Well! This is their 'design' guy. I get the impression he just looked at the dimensions and did that i.e. he HAS NOT been given the previous email correspondence from the original guy I spoke to. I've checked back and it seems all fine. I think there's been no comms i.e. opening size 500 x 600 and that's it. So he just dumps that in a hole and says "thats all you put online". That's because that's all the online order allows. BUT! I have email's confirming the 'method' ; so! . I suspect the cost will now go up as the units he will of realised are larger!!!. I'm 100% in the right now! (for once).

I don't F'ing believe this! So the *new* glazing company... I tell them 'internal' measurements / opennings over and over again so there is NO CONFUSION! They told me they don't do drawings for 'supply only' but I told them to do a drawing!!!! Just got it!. Can you guess what they've done?. Stuck the bleeding windows in the holes not over them!!!. I don't get it!. From there drawing it would bloody leak and I don't see how you'd even fix it! I did speak to them ages ago and confirmed a 'shoe box' lid ; stuck over up stands. Now they've got back too me and said "we're only going on what you supplied'. YES! and I said INTERNAL! - of course they argue that's exactly what it is !!!! Here's the drawing! ; did they really think this would work as a water tight method??? So now the units are 'bigger' so the quote was wrong!!!!! FFS! MUST BE ME!

Unsticking this without tearing not possible
