Flue Thro Tile

[John M]

I'm going to fit a ventilation flue tho' my tiled roof, I have ordered up a lil universal kit to achieve this however I was wondering if anyone had any words to the wise on the subject.

Things like ..... Woo I'd have one of these "*****" as well ..... or something like that

what do you intend venting through this duct?

what type of tiles do you have on the roof?

 

[John M]

It'll be a central heating boiler & the tiles are Hand made clay, Circa 1940/50

 

[Roofer]

Look at these

They are available from Roofing Merchants

For ease of fitting I would go for the one with the neoprene collar

 

[noseall]

i concur with Roofer. use some silicone lubricant to ease the pipe through the rubber.

ooer missus.

Oddly enough I watched this dude doing one today ...... He just removed a tile, (In one piece too Obviously a craftsman) underlapped it with the tile above ...... Tapped the lead a bit wiv a block O' woof shaping it & slid the flue in ..... Musta taken him ... 3 mins all in ....... Groovy not too difficult at all then

It took me ages to find some spare tiles fer that roof..... The wavey bits are cone shaped ...... So ya romans won't link in without loads of trimming with a grinder..... I have a secret stash in me garage now just in case ..... err .... err a errant helecopter lands on me house
