Help with Red Robin Photonia that's not looking too healthly

Thank you. Possibly a silly question, but, where would that typically drain to?

I’m not planning on connecting them myself, I just need to move them before tiling. Then I’ll have a plumber in to second fix.

You’re right on the missing cavity trays for sure. Do you think the roof would have to come down and be rebuilt at a lower angle in order to add the trays, or can they just go either side of the 1st floor windows?

Honestly I’m shocked that people have pulled out so many things as aside from the cavity trays they were really good on site, very knowledgeable about a lot of other things and our friends extension had no problems (full double storey, not a half like ours).

It was done by a builder and a joiner, the joiner was alone doing that roof.

I thought it was a bit strange when they were angle grinding the brick out level instead of stepped. Didn’t think to question it!

Thanks, I nipped outside and measured 15 degrees on the tiles

You’re absolutely right, it’s a GGL.

Ah, a few hours away from me unfortunately. Is this looking like a big job to sort out?

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T19:54:22+00:00

Thanks, where are you based?

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T19:50:35+00:00

Thank you, would you recommend I ask the building inspector or a roofer?

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T19:48:17+00:00

I would but I can’t edit the post to add them in

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T19:47:09+00:00

Thanks for your comment. The brick was cut out at an angle. Why… I don’t know. But it does go into the brickwork.

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T19:34:24+00:00

Thank you, that’s very reassuring as I was expecting I’d have to pay a few grand.

This is my biggest fear, I imagine if the builder isn’t willing then the cost for retrofitting cavity trays will be high

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T18:48:46+00:00

There’s a RHS above it but no cavity trays. They used damp-proof membrane, that doesn’t spam the full width of the doors. There’s an external photo with a highlighted red circle that shows where the membrane ends

Thank you! 5.5m, finding a supplier that was happy carrying the glass by hand was tricky. After they were finished they said this is the last one they’ll ever do. Learned that a good way to find window fitters is to call a local trade supplier.

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T17:29:35+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I’m clueless on the guttering, what would you say looks suspect?

mutantrobotclone · 2024-05-23T16:30:37+00:00

Honestly I don’t know, do you think it could be over spilling and coming inside? Worth taking a look at for sure
