Roof Flashings 5/12/2012

The flashings on thew side of the roof had to go up, as well as the capping the eve. Lifting the flashings up, taking into contrast that the flashings are thin and flimsy and to take very good care lifting them. We got the first one up, sat it on the edge and pushed it 100mm over the front. We then measured 60mm back on the top, leaving the side clear, we cut the top part off. With the side now sticking 60mm out, we measured back 30mm and bent it so when the flashing was pushed back into place the flashing lip would sit flush against the facia. The next peice we lapped under the first so when it rains the water will run down not getting trapped or sepping under one another (100mm minimum required). We left the bottom of the flashing free so when we put the spouting up, we can contrats on how to cut and bend the angles. It was all screwed down with hex tex screws with a rubber ring under so when drilled down, the rubber ring will sell it from any moisture. Silicone will so be put in the barge where the flashings meet
