Warm Flat Roof Installation
Hi,
I have a cold flat roof with a desomopol covering. I want to upgrade it to a warm flat roof. Can this be done without removing all of the roof if I take out the insulation from below?
Expert Trade Answers
"Good morning.
Hope this helps but what I've done in the past is over board the original roof with a kingspan insulation and osb board 18mm new trims and upstands and glass fiber I think that should be more then OK.
Cheers Michael"

"As long as there’s no fire hazards on your current flat roof then can easily just screw boards on top of it with 10 mil ply wood. then touch on tar felt 👍"
