Hi All, We are nearly at the end of a kitchen extension project, and i am having trouble getting a clear explanation of what hardware i need to control the new system. My plumber is very good, but he is struggling to explain to me how the system will work, i can't get hold of him at the moment...

Thanks oldbutnotdead - the 'Velli' do have preformed L shaped trims embedded somewhere under all that GRP, and will of course have the Velux flashing over the top. Your comments on the gutter detail are useful and i will see if they can improve that junction - thanks.

Thanks for that ND - i will revert to my architect with the 3 vs 3.5m question and hopefully put him right...
