Tiny flat roof repair

[gaz1]

i didnt mean fasten under it the next pieces you want them as a drip edge thats why we use a latte so it drips off the edge on dormers

it also gives us something thicker to stick or nail too this also gives us a drip edge into the gutter

No problem, drip edges done. They were a royal PITA and could very likely have been done a better way but I'm at this stage now just need to put the last bit of mid-layer on.

Well, I'm done. Very happy with the result I didn't stop to take any more pics as the light was rapidly fading. I torched a full sheel on top of what you see above, flapped the edges down over the drip edges and torched them on. Trimmed them a couple of mm past the bottom edge then fused the front piece to the one already on the rear by rolling the edges together so that the hardboard is fully sealed in. After that it was just a single sheet of mineral on top and torch it down.

Thanks for all the help, advice and other input. I'll put some finished pic tomorrow when I go up there to do the lead and re-fit the gutter.

No disrespect to the work, but I wish we stopped putting on these fugly dormers and found something nicer.

I dunno, I just asked for felt, lead and drip edges and that's what they gave me. By the time I had seen your post I already had them so that's what I used.

It'll be reet

move is my opinion but people want to extend them to gain an extra room as worth the extra 10,000 for 15,000 return or higher

i dont blame people for that

but council force you to build smaller as they want the building to look like its had an extension or dormer built

its just some get greedy and want full width dormers even on a shared wall

It's mostly cheap lazy architecture that I can't stand.

My architect comes up with loads of brilliant feasible options, normally loses out to the mega cheap box former

your stuck with planning most of the time what they say goes and your architech cant do anything much about it

yes you can apeal to london for it but you can have a year wait for it to pass or fail

Here's where I ended-up. I have to go around the bottom drip edges with a torch and roll them under properly and re-fit the edge trim on the plastic roof properly. After that it's just the lead flashing, re-fit the guttering and I'm done.



Very pleased with that TBH.

A neat job Pete and looks much better, you are certainly better at handling a torch than me I would have burnt something for sure.
