Another weekend so got one side of the roof felt tiles on

Should get the gutter on tomorrow but I’m having one downpipe as it’s only 13 sq/m

Do I need a run on the gutter or just do it level, sides are 3.5m?

[Nickfromwales]

Do two runs to the down-pipe, each collecting 2 sides of runoff so the duty is shared. Same cost, same effort.

Just have an inch fall from the highest points to the outlet at the down-pipe, so half inch fall on each run x2. Will give equal height where the two capped off ends meet so will still look uniform.

So, almost finished the felt tiles (just need to get a final bit of trim for the apex) and got the gutter on.looks nice but today it rained and good news is the roof does not leak but sumfink is up with the gutter

Profile of how it’s fitted

The drips on the board the gutter is fixed to is the problem...

Some water (most) is following the blue line but some is following the green line and dripping like fcuk

Very little overhang into the gutter, plus shallow angle must be allowing water to hug the surface and come back underneath.

If possible bend the end of the felt downwards so the droplets have to fall off the end

[Nickfromwales]

Can you tuck something like this up under the tile? Link

That would get sealed to the tile with black CT1 / similar frame sealant  and will provide a barrier from wind blown rain, plus a drip into the gutter that should solve the problem.

None is getting on the end of the roof board is it?

 

Maybe slip something like eaves protectors up between the felt tile and roof board if that's doable?

The felt tiles are prone to strong winds so followed the MI’s and put a good bead of adhesive on the bottom edge so no chance of sliding a trim up there.

But ordered a couple of rolls of 50mm flash band tape and although footery I can stick this to the underside of the tiles and down onto the inner face of the gutter!

Ill report back once it’s dry enough, Scottish weather forecast tonight was next dry day sometime after the weekend, ffs it’s August, rain all week

spot on, well done!

[Onoff]

Is it too late to replace one corner post with a steel and have a hidden downpipe? ?
