Sorry Matt, had roofers head on today, the customer wanted to know why the ceiling was getting wet when it rained very hard. So I said it must be driving rain coming through the pantiles, so we had a look. ooops..
actually for the cap and cove fitters ..... There is a new roofing product out for flat roofs that comes in 2 and 4 meter roles i think that is just like commercial vinyl. You glue it down and then weld the joints. Its a bit of a grey are of whos job it is. After all you fit it like flooring so roofers are struggling. but floor layers are not roofers ! I can see a lot of floorlayers doing this type of work. (bit like when laminates first came out) We know how to install plywood / osb etc as a base and we know how to install vinyl. BUT floor layers dont know how to do flashing, roof run of, gutters etc so a strange one. Guess best is floorlayers do the vinyl laying only? (obviously Mario knows how to do it all but he is a rare breed fueled by wine)
No good for that pitched roof then. I don't know everything, as I said before I make it up as I go.. Do you mean this type of cap and cove installers.. hahaahaha
whoever "fitted" that needs a slap and banning from EVER attempting another cap and cove again, it made me laugh and cry in equal measure.
That one I couldn't really do anything with, so just ripped it all out and done again, good job they only used 44 it was easy to pull up and upstands with contact spray in places.
I know most of the shops in norfolk and they know I don't mind doing it.. at a price. I had one a few weeks back, been down just over a year and they wondered why it was lifting. So I asked them what the last installers do? Answer: Just ripped it all up and layed new straight away. Didn't check for moisture!! So I put my box down and left, came back and it was through the roof, so told them I'll come back in a couple of weeks and check it again. Can't have that they said, so I told them "you do it my way or get someone else to do it and give me a call when that all pop up. THEY WAITED..
haz a guess 20, it was changing/shower room with high humidity, you know the sort, swimming pool. I got them to put dehumifiers in and turned them off 2 days prior to inspection/test. went down to 74.5% Used mapei prim t and mapei g19 and f60 my favourite....
