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 . Edited December 17, 2018 by pocster
Pocster Posted January 31, 2019 Author Posted January 31, 2019 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 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Still waiting on roofer ...... ? To be fair; he was currently doing a zinc roof worth 300K! - so mine it comparably quite a small job.... Edited February 13, 2019 by pocster
Mr Punter Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Nice dry settled spell here - hopefully he can make decent progress.

Pocster Posted February 21, 2019 Author Posted February 21, 2019 Roofer wants to prime surface tomorrow- YES ! ????
Cpd Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Good luck man. I REALLY hope you get the desired outcome, I don’t think I could cope with another disaster on this thread...... it’s not even my roof and I am nervous ? 2 1

Pocster Posted February 28, 2019 Author Posted February 28, 2019 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 ...
Onoff Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 I thought this was going to be a seamless hot asphalt type thing this time around?

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 .

Asphalt is boiled up in a bfo pot and trowelled on to form a seamless continuous layer. What did the spec say?

They were boiling up ‘stuff’ and blow torching it on . Is asphalt jet black ?

Onoff Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 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! ?

Pocster Posted February 28, 2019 Author Posted February 28, 2019 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.
PeterW Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 How are you planning to refit the walk on windows …? Have they given you any assistance with detailing..?

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 .
