Pitched roof against wall.

Here is an attempt though maybe not a very good one to make the roof flashing serve also as a through the wall flashing with a tile roof. 2 of the walls come against a vertical wall the 1st floor. Its about 20ft by 10ft. Hi our sunroom is going to have a pitched 35 degrees roof with rosemary tiles.

Line up wall plate against existing joists and make a mark on the wall plate in line with the centre of the joists. The most common roof to wall intersections involve either a gable roof with its ridge running perpendicular to the wall or a shed roof that slopes downward away from the wall.

The flat roofing material must go up the wall a minimum of 12 or up the wall and over the top of the wall if the wall is less than 12 high.

Drill holes at these marks to allow a 6 nail to be driven through the wall plate into the joists. Lay a thick layer of cement on existing brick work then place the wall plate on this and get a good level.
