Should you run a course of brickwork around for the bitumen to dress up, or does this upstand get done in timber? Make sure the detail is OKed by SIG.  I used adjustable pedestals from Castle Composites but the minimum height is 30mm.  They also do fixed height ones down to 10mm.

Not sure - hence roofer to check 

 

The upstand is currently timber .

Did all the requirements for the roofer .

Upstands another 50mm higher .

Causes problems at the house as effectively I’ll have to raise the floor I.e thicker PIR below UFH . But have plenty of ceiling height to spare .

Roofer has no spare men at the moment and snow is forecast - so need to wait patiently...

[Pocster]

Still waiting on roofer ...... ?

 

To be fair; he was currently doing a zinc roof worth 300K! - so mine it comparably quite a small job....

Nice dry settled spell here - hopefully he can make decent progress.

Thanks man!. That means a lot !

Went to the site today ; no workmen - it is raining . Been feeding them everyday with coffee , sausage rolls and doughnuts. *Assume* they just need to the flashing ...

I thought this was going to be a seamless hot asphalt type thing this time around?

I don’t know .

The guys told me the hot bitumen is the waterproof layer . The asphalt is purely for protection.

I did think it was going to be seamless .

Still if it doesn’t leak and I get my 25 yr warranty - then it’s good .

Erm...that looks like felt not asphalt. Asphalt is boiled up in a bfo pot and trowelled on to form a seamless continuous layer.

 

What did the spec say?

I’ll check the spec 

Before this felt ( only seen it today and no one there now ) . They were boiling up ‘stuff’ and blow torching it on . Is asphalt jet black ?

I'm 99% sure that's what has been done. @Onoff stop making me worry! ?

[Onoff]

If they haven't and you weren't there to see it done and take note of the materials used you've only yourself to blame! ?

 

Hopefully they did something like this:

I'd have gone with "Hope your bastard wet room corner falls aren't enough and you end up spending a fortune on folding glass doors or worse an unsightly enclosure!"

 

Not that it's worrying me!

Hmmmmmm

 

Well roofer has confirmed that the IKO layer beneath the felt is indeed seamless and is the waterproof layer.

He's now saying that flashing ( presumably lead ) wasn't included in the price. We did discuss flashing on-site - so I assumed was and more importantly was required.

 

This IKO seamless stuff - even up uneven stone work requires no flashing?????

 

Meeting on-site tomorrow to do the 'test' for the warranty.

How are you planning to refit the walk on windows …? Have they given you any assistance with detailing..?

 

[Onoff]

It pays to have every detail in writing!

No detailing .

But it’s exactly the same as before .

Structual silicone the metal frames to the upstand . Place glazing in . Structural silicone around glazing .
