I think spreading the water more can help reduce pressure versus the drainage situation before, however this won’t solve the basic problem if westbourne ‘s roof remains inadequately sealed inside under the steel profiles. What’s your opinion?[/quote:2j9b6w3m] Hi Norfolk There is no need to add sealant under flashings to prevent wind driven rain from entering the roof space. The ribs in any roof profile are designed to mitigate the potential for wind drive. Those, coupled with adequate sized flashings will prevent it. The below pictures show how the turn up on sheets and the adequate sizing of flashings are able to provide for wind conditions. Westbourne hasn't provided details as to where the leak was compared to all downpipes, flashings, gutters etc, but I'd be pretty certain the leak resulted from the sheer volume of water coming from the upper roof, coupled with inadequate spreading of the load. From the video it was a lot of water over a sustained period, that seems to correlate more with large volumes of water being able to breach a flashing or gutter than a wind driven event. I suspect that the builder is aware that this was the cause as they've added the spreader rather than go crazy with the silicon. I don't think everyone needs to panic that standard roof flashings are inadequate. There is no way roof plumbers need to be siliconing up every little gap on a roof. It simply isn't required, would add unnecessary expense and will look ugly.

Lysaght's the company that manufacture colorbond roofing don't specify it as a requirement. As long as you follow the design specifications that they recommend (as per screen shots above) you don't need additional sealing.
