willbish Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Kicking myself as I've got a small leak and looking for ideas to overcome. Water is running down the aluminium flashing and soakers and getting behind the render. It is then presenting inside under the roof terrace. I think the only non destructive option is a decent squirt of exterior sealant between trim and render bead. But I'm reluctant to be ever reliant on a bit of goo for long term watertight integrity. Any great ideas? Or recommendations for best exterior sealant? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James94 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Do you have any of the aluminium left over, looks like it needs some sort of deflection away from wall . You could slot it under your existing aluminium and bend it round and away from wall. Regards James 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) +1 A piece like this if you can get it behind both bits of flashing.. Some sealer will be needed as well I think. Edited April 30, 2021 by Temp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't get the water from the flashing into the gutter even if you seal it it will run down render and stain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willbish Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 I think I'm going to try to get a small soaker in behind the other soakers and bring it out in front of the render. Won't look as crisp as it does now but function over form it must be. @nod roof covering is Tapco slates, chosen for their suitability for low pitch. They were a breeze to lay, zero wastage and unless you're up close most people have no idea they aren't real slates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willbish Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 Not nearly the abomination I was fearing. Trimmed out a piece of render. God bless thy multitool Cut a slit in the apron flashing Pushed in a piece of leftover of trim Beauty of having 200mm EPS under the render. Banged the trim right in Finally slap a bit of silicone render in the gap behind Currently being storm tested... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyshouse Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I would much rather that the bottom of the bottom soaker was cut plumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
