The single ply goes up approx 100mm behind the tiles, however they left the lead work around the soil stack and used liquid sealant. The quote was for the following: "To replace any damaged or rotting boarding using 18mm BBA approved plywood and install SikaPlan single ply PVC membrane along...

Had a local builder quote for this work and he wanted to increase the fall of the gutter then use code 4 lead (all in one run). The length of each gutter is 5m. Going by what has been said on here that seems incorrect. Looking online can't really see what the max length of code 4 would be for...
