To reduce cold bridging at the eave the EWI needs to extend as high as possible and connect with the roof insulation. Luckily the ceiling rafters extend over the walls allowing insulation to meet the EWI. A bespoke gutter was specially designed and fabricated in one piece aluminium 4.7m long and fitted to the timber facia. Leadwork was carefully dressed over neighbour’s gutters. Note that loft conversion at a later date will address the roof ventilation.
