How best to re-roof this

[gaz1]

this metal end



if you had of cut it you would have been much closer to the roof with your lead

which your not



as the lead tells me that one

 

[123hotchef]

cut it shorter you mean?

 

[123hotchef]

Finished virtually just in time for the rain...

 

[123hotchef]

I need to tweak the box gutter a wee bit when it rains just right it runs back and under instead of off the edge

 

[123hotchef]

Just deciding what would be best.
Cut and bend it down a few degrees

Stick a length if the eaves protector onto the bottom side of the metal box gutter

Or another way open to suggestions

weld a lip on the end ? for a drip like a window sill

 

[123hotchef]

That

weld a lip on the end ? for a drip like a window sill

Would work the same as cutting into it 5 or 10mmand bending it down.

I guess I could use silicon and gun lip on

 

[gaz1]

use a thick silicone bead is all is needed and it will drip it for you

another note here if you get a heavy downpour it could/will flow over your gutter as you look like halfway over the gutter

you could do a bounce back piece at the corner but it needs fitting inside of the gutter

thats what I thought, I got some lead mate left in the gun that will do the job quite nicely

 

[gaz1]

edited so beaware of it

theres no other way to pipe off the flow of the roof the gutter should handle a good flow of rain but in heavy downpours that corner maybe an issue

 

[gaz1]

anyway hows it working so far ?

dont forget your rubber inserts or your foam under the ridges or it will get blowback under them

 

[123hotchef]

It is working well. Do I have to foam all of the ridges then. It's been raining plenty today the box gutter is working well apart from that issue with not running straight off.

 

[gaz1]

thats up to you but its advisable

front left and then all of the rear ones right side dosnt need it

soil pipe area both sides

along the top underneath your top plate

 

[123hotchef]

So these spots under the trim.

 

[gaz1]

yes but not on the right trim over the wall end garage roof nearest the black soil stack of next door dont need it on that one

it means unscrewing it to fit those foam inserts though.

 

[gaz1]

you have to work out which is best for you expense vs cheap

foam gun fill about 2" in and paint or spray can afterwards

or unscrew a little so you can push in the foam inserts at cost

its really your choice time dosnt matter to me but customer its there choice on what they pay for

 

[123hotchef]

Does the front edge where the gutter is need doing also

 

[gaz1]

shouldnt need it as you have tha dripsill there
