Replace felt on double flat roof 5m by 5.5m.
Want to replace the flat roof on a double garage (measuring 5m by 5.5m ) with fiberglass material (CURE IT). I will also require the roof boards replace. What will it cost?
Replacing a Flat Felt Roof
Hi, We have a leak coming through to our living room ceiling from the flat roof/terrace above. The terrace is currently covered with felt and water pools. We have had a number of trades come around to quote to resurface the terrace, most have said they wouldn't replace it with anything else other than fibre glass which we can't afford. One company has suggested removing the felt, adding a bitumen layer, PVA and then self-levelling compound with a 10mm drop/slop so the water drains off. Around the edge of the terrace they will install edge panels with waterproof sealant. Does this sound like a suitable fix as I'm nervous about paying the money to find its not fit for purpose at a later date. Many thanks Nic
