Tennentslager Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennentslager Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 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.

Onoff Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennentslager Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
