I have been following your flat roof project off and on -- looks like I need to catch up!. For some strange reason, there are no 'do-it-yourself' flat roof projects here in America besides mine. Flat roofs seem to be very common in the UK but in America it is mostly used fro commercial buildings -- definitely not many of them done by homeowners. I made a couple of mistakes along the way, but flat roofs are not that hard, and I would have no problem doing it again! We barely got dried-in before the Wisconsin winter, but we made it. It's a great feeling. Now we'll see how well it handles snow and up to minus 40 temperatures! Keep up the good work! Cant wait to see the finished project!

Does that frame sit on the 18mm OSB on the roofing joists or does it sit directly on the joists and firring strips before it’s all gets OSB?

Doing the same DIY project. For your 75mm upstand, you mention 63mm CLS and 12mm ply. Doesn't the 75mm need to include Xmm for the internal plasterboard plus skim finish as well as the 1.5mm for external EPDM?
@squidge218

Does it have to sit below the ply or can it sit on top of the ply then screw down into the joist from above? Do you insulate the cavity of the upstand or just insulated board internal ?

(Another) great vid! First time commentator so go easy on me if this is a stupid question. Where did you do this mistake. Should the width have been 85 plus the OSB width?
@TheRestorationCouple
4 жыл бұрын
From memory the rooflight needed 75 mm to sit on each side so the outside of the up stand needed to be 150 mm less. I did not allow for the width of OSB so the up stand would have been too big. So it just needed reducing in size to account for the sheet material. 👍

As a technical point I don't think the Buildings Regs require a specific upstand height, but most rooflights won't be warranted if you mount them at less than that, and ultimately that's what matters!

Before you finish the roof , you could do the downspout with a lick of paint so you dont need to stand on the roof more then needed.

Bit of Google states The Government’s Planning Portal states that in England and Wales, the following conditions apply to rooflights: They mustn’t protrude more than 150mm beyond the plane of the roof They can’t be higher than the highest part of the roof If it’s a side facing window it must be obscure-glazed. If it’s an opening window it must be 1.7 metres above the floor level. Seems to me it's not wanting the large protrusion you have added

That’s planning not building regs? (and I believe talking about skylights like velum rather than flat roof.) 🤔

I can't claim to understand why but my googling found the following - BS 6229: 1982, Code of Practice for flat roofs with continuously supported coverings, requires rooflights to incorporate upstands to raise the mat least 150mm above the uppermost roof surface to which the roof covering is bonded or dressed. The designer should ensure that the builder’s curb is at least 150mm high.
