vertical flue through a polycarb roof....

[moogwai]

hi guys....just wondering what people are doing with regards of putting a vertical flue through a pitched polycarb roof??? are you guys using a slate to stick to the polycarb? or just sealing around the flue?? any advice would be welcome as ive gotta change a boiler for my pal.
thx in advance.

Just get a roofer to do the terminal prob solved.

and that would just make life easy if i knew one.....getting someone in will prob cost a small fortune. thanks for your help.

How long would it take them?? 30 mins?
cant see it costing more than 100 quid absolute max , just get a few quotes wont hurt .

true...but i still want to know to do it and if its something i dont think i can handle i'll pass it on.

not come across poly carb roof so dont know , to be honest verticle flues pile of nuisance so shy away if possible so tend to get someone to do the terminal. E.g some mug mate to put his life in danger for £20 . Try googling it , prob be some web page somewhere about it

tried the builders forum on here ?

yeah i know...i dont really like doing them either but this one is un-avoidable i think....unless i run around 5 meters of a horizontal flue which will look rather rubbish and unprofessional!! i'll have a google and see what i can find. cheers

no i havn't...never gave it a thought...never been on there to be honest....do i have to register? can i use the same log in as here?

 

[gaspastemania]

honestly dont know , may be few builders /roofer nosing through , last thing you want to do is fudge it up if its for a mate . would never hear end of it .

lol...too true i have found this Dektite square base workshop flue pipe roof flashings looks like what i'll need....i'll give them a call i think.

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

that will work if it has ridges

 

[moogwai]

this one then....Dektite original workshop flue pipe roof flashings

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

if its ridged polycarb both will work

 

[moogwai]

yeah i think its 10mm thick might be thicker.....the stuff you can walk on if yer careful

no i mean is it flat or curved the design of the roofing sheets

I think about the only way you could do it is with flashband. You won't need a slatepiece.

lol...oh...its flat

think i would rather use the proper flashing kit that ive found (links above) will just look better.

If you use a dektite the screw ends will be on show below the sheeting.
