@MrAas41 3 жыл бұрын
hey mate! amazing vid as usual. is it the same process for a flat roof when it comes to venting. it is better to use those vents or the circular ones that go into the soffit?
@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 жыл бұрын
I think there are different methods with flat rooves depending on whether there is an upturn into a wall, or if the roof is detached. But I would say soffit vents are likely to be more suitable. You can also buy vents that go on top of the roof. Try Ali Dymock or Oakwood Garden Rooms on youtube. They have a lot of info on flat rooves including warm, cold and hybrid so they'll probably have better advice. If I do a garden room I'll be sure to put on here! Best of luck.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words. I think with a flat roof you fill the whole void with insulation then with osb board or plywood over the top, followed by your chosen roof finish e.g. epdm or fibreglass. Hope that helps.

Hi Pouse, great series. Can I ask is there any particular reason you didn’t use low maintenance upc soffit and facia boards?
@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 5 жыл бұрын
Hi, I will be using upvc over facia at the end of the project. I used timber as I think it is more solid and helps with structural integrity of the roof. Also I can carry on with the rest of the roof and do the plastic at the end avoiding getting it damaged throughout the project. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

Do you not need additional insect mesh over those fascia vents? As the vent gaps looked large enough that wasps or other insects could climb through?. Only asking as in my new built house they didn’t have a fine enough insect mesh and I ended up with a 5foot x 4foot wasp nest in my house
@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 2 жыл бұрын
That's the problem, building regs stipulate a minimum air flow required so you have to have that gap, however it does allow small insects. You can't win!!

Are you using building control for this project or are you going to try for retrospective planning. Where's your velux top hinged escape window that starts no more than 1100mm from the edge of your roof, you know the one you escape out of of your house is burning down, or are you not required one in Wales? 👍🙂
@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 4 жыл бұрын
You don't need one. You have to make a 30minute fire proof escape route to the outside by way of correct plasterboard walls, floor insultation and fire doors on every room that can be accessed from the downstairs hall and landing. Also mains powered smoke alarms on each floor. This is why there are strict rules in stair size, tread depth, handrails etc. An escape window is no good if there's no where safe to go when you get out. Building control don't like the idea of you sat on a roof waiting for the fire service. It's also not easy to rescue you from a sloping roof. It obviously depends on the layout if your house, multiple occupancy etc and different rules for different countries. Hope that clears things up. It's all on the .gov website.

If those purlin strapping members are directly in touch with a flat layer below, there is no drainage on your roof assembly, the purlins should be going down vertically first and than if you want to support a cladding that needs opposite support, you than do the perpendicular purlins ontop of that, similar to a rainscreen wall that needs to accept vertical siding, first layer for rainscreen assembly to support vertical siding is vertical rainscreen than perpendicular horizontal rainscreen.......... Drainage is key in all assemblies. I design performance homes (passive, net zero, etc)
@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 2 жыл бұрын
When you say purlin strapping members do you mean the battens? The verticle timbers are rafters, and the purlins are the large horizontal timbers supporting the rafters half way along their span. As for drainage, you leave a sag in the membrane between each rafter which allows any moisture to run down to the eaves. It's standard practice in the UK. What country do you construct in?
@arayahomes4308 2 жыл бұрын
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE Good to know, yea for me practicing building science into my designs, country isn't the concern and more so the climate. British Columbia Canada has a similar environment to the uk I imagine. My point with purlin systems on a roof is that the first layer of wood used to suppor the cladding of which the roof cladding is fastened to, should drain down the length of the roof so that if water gets in, it easily gets out, leaving a sag in random sections still creates a dam for water to sit there and pool and leak into the building assembly, free almost uninteruppted drainage is always the best is what I was getting at.
@Zoli_ExhibitPrinting 2 жыл бұрын
@@arayahomes4308 I think you're referring to counter battens. Purlins are a completely different part of the roof if using Uk terminology. The sags are not random, they are between every rafter to prevent pools from forming. When you are matching the roof height of your neighbor's roof, you cant change the design??

descent video bud, but the felt support tray must be sitting on top of the fascia vents, there is a notch at the end for that, if you leave it overhanging like that the wind uplift can mess up the whole eave line, needs to be cut back , thats why you sort out the fascia and eave ventilation be4 you felt and batten the roof, other than that, great chippie work

Pouse I love your videos mate but however I regret to inform you that by cutting your rafter feet back by the amount you have it looks like you made a decent size step from your fascia to your neighbours my friend. This going to cause you some issues my friend your eave support tray and slates are most likely going to over hang your gutter too much now. If you use spacers to push the gutter out to the neighbours level it will look ridiculous and a bodge job mate. In my opinion you should go back and extend the feet back to how they was in your stride for perfection you made an issue with next doors and yours fascia and gutter I’m a roofer of nearly 4 years and I’ve beginning to learn that sometimes you just gotta leave something not quite straight etc for it to work and look “right” obviously you know it isn’t straight or what ever but 99.9% of people aren’t gonna notice but they will notice the gutter making a step out from the fascia.

😅 erm kid okay because kids get sent up on roof tops do they? I’m probably twice your age fella dunno why you felt the need to comment what you did when I was only offering pouse my opinion and advise on the issue he probably knows he got or he might not know means never here or there really. I’ve commented on pouses videos before giving advise and tips, he took them on board with open arms too I might. I’m a professional roofer i do the job day in day out so I think it fair to say I’ve very clued up when it comes to roof line. Obviously I don’t know everything I’m still learning everyday so are most people I’m yet to meet anybody that knows everything regarding building and there trade. I do believe pouse is a DIYer or plaster by trade and a bloody good one from the looks of his videos doesn’t mean his not gonna make mistakes along the line here or there his human just like the rest of us. Where was you going with that comment anyway what did you think I’m wrong and there isn’t a step in the fascia from his side to next door neighbours when in his video you can clearly see it or are you just a special stupid or just arrogant mug? Anybody with a bit building knowledge can see what pouse done has caused an issue that needs addressing and carefully thought to over come in which again I’m sure pouse has thought about that but incase he didn’t I thought I’d mention it and give my professional opinion on the matter and what I’ve learn in my nearly 4 years doing the trade.

To all - I haven't created a step. If you look closely I didn't touch the closest rafter to next door, I only took back the middle rafters as they were the ones that had shifted. What you think is a step is actually just a twisted fascia board next door. A few screws will pull it back in line. I explain in the video how the string line is run from next doors last rafter to my opposite end rafters so there is a nice straight line joining into next door. Adding forget I have to add a upvc facia which is 10mm thick. Sorry if video didn't make that clear. Thanks for the comments and ideas and thanks for watching!
@Rooferfrank 5 жыл бұрын
Okay then guys that solves that debate 👍🏼😂 Edit Ive gone back and watched the video and can now see in fact the fascia is twisted giving me the illusion of a step out so no issue caused here then I still think you might have small issue with getting the first course of slates to land half way in the gutter properly though but next video will show us more clearly.
