Hello,

I have just removed a wood burner flue from my roof and now need to patch up the hole left behind. Can anybody tell me where I can buy a 400mm wide cap flashing from? I have tried all the obvious places like bunnings and my local builders merchant with no luck. 

In the photos you can see that the hole is currently sealed with a flowerpot. It's survived a couple of big storms so far with a rubber sheet over the top held down with bricks! The type of cap flashing I need would be exactly the same as the 400mm one behind the flowerpot in the photo but a little longer to extend over the hole. No idea where I can get hold of this.

Cheers

Adam

Rangitoto is in the background so try Monaghans. You need a coloursteel flashing if further than 1km away (need .55g with a coating suitable for seaspray if within 1km of the sea as a bird flies) as per above the penetration to lap under your existing flashing and run it over the penetration and give it a 200mm minimum cover. If building from new you need a minimum 10 degrees roof pitch for this detail if you wish to comply with E2/AS1. If you don't have 10 degrees which looks likely, just buy a flashing that runs the entire length from low to high points, lapping over the roofing to the gutter and lapping under your high point flashing.

I have had contractors use them many times on jobs I have managed and they do good work. 

Also remember that E2/AS1 is not the only solution. What you propose is fine as long as there is adequate support either side of the penetration. If there isn't it will dent easy in which case you may wish to use powder coated aluminium 1.2mm thick or simply install some blocking for support.
