Ewi obsticals

[richardbrown]

I have a few houses coming up which need Ewi fitted to them

Both houses have standard boiler flus, soil stacks, no soffits and standard sills.

How do you fellas get over these problems???.

Thanks rich

Most of the major suppliers who have targetted these types of works have a full pack of details covering these areas....

Give some of them a call..... who you planning on using?

 

[Render Systems]

we extend the flues (well the enablers do) and put cover trims under the eaves if no soffits...

Timber blocks for soil stack clips downpipes, and satalites.if the flues cant be extended leave 300mm radius recess and render only

I have never done any EWI Rich but these must be common problems others must have come across.

I don't know if the answers above are any good but there must be a easy way to get round the problem.

Under the cills I always had to put in the same cover strip used under the eaves, i dont think cover strip is the right word but ive been out of ewi for 10 years now,got sick of the travelling.

Rich, overlay plastic sills with bigger plastic....if the job warrants you can form the sills to replicate old stone ones like on the job I put pics on. Dbp do anchors for satellite dishes, soil stack fittings which do away with timber patruses. Aluminium coping profiles/soffit flashings for flush soffits from wemico

We use Egyptian midgets, its all the rage

Flue extension kits, wooden blocks for soil pipes-drain pipes-satellites etc, soffit trims and cill trims, have you not done it before rich there's trims for everything

Where you geting your cill extensions? Im using fascia board at mo. And what u payin for flue ext,cost fortune

 

[richardbrown]

We have fitted plenty of Ewi systems but normally to buildings that are ready to receive the system. This is the first time I have had these problems land in my doorstep.

So the soil stack has to come off and be refitted then, roof line extended etc. it's getting over these problems that would make most people say ..... Thanks rich but we think well give it a miss due to the hassle factor!.

 

[Dansouthcoast84]

supriseingly yes you do get people moan about the inconvenience, even though they are getting ewi for free

 

[plasterjfe]

Rich customers are prob paying not getting it free and the cost of enabling works might push the budget I think he means
