Greetings, lovely community.
I have a colorbond section on a tiled roof. As seen in the photos, the way the colobond is connected to the tiles is via a piece of flashing that extends from the last ridge of the colorbond, under the adjacent tile, with a small upwards "lip" created at the end of the flashing under the tiles.
As you can imagine, under the right (wrong?) conditions, water overflows into the roof cavity and runs down the walls inside the house.
I'm considering removing this flashing, and bridging the gap instead with a suitably sized (perhaps 300mm) lead-free flashing instead, something like Smartform or Dakaflash. Is this the best long-term solution? It's a bit tideous and somewhat pricey solution, so any tips and suggestions are very welcome.
Hi @a_amir
Thank you for clarifying the reason for the difference in the roof materials. It was a bit of a mystery why the roof had different materials.
