Onoff Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Back on topic I remember the first time I attempted apply flashing to a polycarbonate roof where it abutted a pebble dashed wall. All the gear and no idea! I seem to recall I cut a wobbly slot with a Kango 100/115mm grinder...which killed it. I then attempted to fit that self adhesive flashing and feed the edge into the slot which I then siliconed in. Not pretty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 The company was called “fix it” more like bodge it . Even gave me a receipt and circled the “10 workmanship guarantee “ bit ? Like I said elsewhere ; they actually think they’ve done a good job ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays I'd be affixing a temporary batten cut at the appropriate angle and running the grinder along with a stone disc or diamond blade in for that perfect slot! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too it would seem So what do I do when a lump of stone with edpm on it sticks out too much ? . Cut the stone face ? Or just let the flashing ‘drift’ out ( won’t be tight to the stone then ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennentslager Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I think you're going to need lead (or other flexible) flashing to be able to cope with the bendy bits...that solid stuff won't do for that wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 150mm is up at the edges . Problem is it’s just glued to the rough stone work with living accommodation below . So in time , water runs down stone and behind edpm - hence the flashing . I also think the tradesmen was less concerned as concrete is to be poured over the edpm as well . But this will shrink and I suspect a hairline crack at the edges .

Nickfromwales Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Not at all, of course fit the flashing ! CT1 will sort any suspect areas out after the final install is complete. A bit of reinforcement in the obvious ares where / if necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 If you have the odd Lumpy stone you could chisel it back a bit to give a “more” level finish for your guide batten, anything below the flashing will be covered anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the lumpy stone has edpm over it . Is it ‘safe’ to cut the lump and edpm out at that point then patch later ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
