Even installing could be DIY if you have the powerpoint in the roof to plug into.

It would be a DIY job if we knew what we were doing. The funnel needs to go out through the roof, so i'll leave it to someone who knows what they are doing. Thats why i'm getting my handyman/joiner in to do it. Re: Does this quote sound ok? 9Oct 02, 2010 9:30 pm thats good!! our electrician helped install ours, but he is family so that doesn't really count... and hubby is still to do the ducting!! but will do that himself at some stage. should be pretty straight forward we have a tile roof. hope it goes smoothly for you.

Even installing could be DIY if you have the powerpoint in the roof to plug into. I think it is a Victorian thing. Reading these boards it seems down that way anything that involves a pipe of some sort needs to be done by a 'plumber'. Re: Does this quote sound ok? 11Oct 05, 2010 10:10 am The plumber line could have to do with the type of roof as well? Is it a tile or steel roof? If tiles, generally you can just remove one tile (and keep for when another one breaks) and slide in a formed sheet of rubber with a tube in it to push through a PVC pipe with a cap on it. You could also just run the ducting into the roof cavity and point it towards a ventilator/whirlybird/etc.. If its a steel roof then you'll probably want a plumber to do it as if it leaks when it rains you can give someone else grief for it.

The funnel needs to go out through the roof, so i'll leave it to someone who knows what they are doing. Thats why i'm getting my handyman/joiner in to do it. I'm fairly sure there are specific rules as to where the ducting can be exited. I guess that is the reason for a licensed person They using concrete or timber sleepers? Timber or steel uprights?
