Does this eaves detail look right

[martin88]

Hi all,

im having a right nightmare with our low pitch profile eaves detail (roof 14.7 degree)

From the photo does this look ok?

What do you think is wrong?

Also are them tiles definitely suitable for a pitch that shallow?

 

[martin88]

Firstly the water from the main roof is over shooting in heavy rain. Also now got an issue that some water is dripping out the soffit.

yes it’s a Marley melodies down to 12.5 degree

just think as it’s a rolled tile the first tile doesn’t keep blown water out.

Looks under 14 to me .. more like 11

Angle of camera mate, it’s defo 14.7 degrees, just doubled checked with the velux roof app

Tiles too high/gutter too low. I would not expect to see the tile trough from that angle, it should be obscured by the gutter

Plus, are the tiles too far over the gutter?

 

[martin88]

What you mean by trough? If you mean the water go over the edge.. my issue is that our house and next doors have one down pipe and unlucky it falls onto my extension roof, so when it rains heavily my god the amount of water is horrendous.

I could try and higher the gutter up again.

Gutter/downpipe too small for the amount of water.

No I don’t think so, I would say more the fact the shear volume of water / speed.

i have turn the main roof outlet to the side but still have an issue.. i need to restrict the follow I think. Maybe block the end of the Down pipe from the main roof and drill some holes to make the water come out slower

None of it looks right! I don't hold out much hope long term. 10 degrees I would say.

 

[martin88]

Catlad what’s wrong with it.. it isn’t 10 degrees... it is 14.7 degree.

the way I’ve cropped the photo makes it look a lot flatter.

 

[datarebal]

Maybe you calculated it wrongly 14.7 ? Not 14.65

 

[oldbutnotdead]

You'd give yourself half a chance by redoing the main roof downpipe so it drops straight to soakaway/drainage....

I. Down pipe exiting on new roof.
2. fascia too high.
3. lead apron interrupted by window.
4. Skylight too low.
5. Tiles poorly fitted.
When they give these magic low pitch figures for tiles it means without skylights.

What you mean by trough

The lowest point of a profiled tile
