Acceptable workmanship?

I bet It will be. They all seem to be now on new builds.

Saves the cost and time of using Lead flashing.
Makes the property look neater,,
Until a Sky dish gets slapped on the wall..

Thanks for feedback. The home builder is sending an inspector out to examine but I wanted some advice beforehand as they have a habit of trying to assure us that their work is valid. Just waiting on the excuse for this one. I take it the duct tape for this use is not acceptable? It certainly doesn’t look very professional! Is the flexi pipe the correct piping?
Thanks again for all your feedback.

Duct tape not acceptable as not considered a permanant fixing. Ask him if the vent has been air pressure tested to industry standard - 38mbar for 3 minutes - and you'll probably have him confused.

They did this where I used to work only the ducting was around 6 metres long. It filled up with water and then leaked through the ceiling. I removed it and fitted a durgo valve.

Thanks for all this info. Very useful and just what I was looking for. I took some photos today when I was up emptying the water tray AGAIN. This is how it is attached to the roof

What a mess. Just about sums up my view of the current state of British housebuildings

Wowzer. Is that a vent pipe for a stack?
