Hi all
just looking for a bit of advice. I have a flat section of roof above my front door (approx 10 Sq m) it's currently a built up felt roof (I think know that's the right term) at the moment it's in quite a bad state of disrepair with the water not draining away and a section with a sag where it appears to have rotted the wood u underneath.
I had a roofer out the other week who quoted me for fitting a section of wood above what I already have to achieve a slope towards the drain and then refelting the wood. I didn't have the greatest impression from this guy and it sounded like a bit of a patch up job to me (although I admit I don't know much about roofing)
I had another guy out today and he's quoted me for ripping out what I have at the moment and rebuilding the wooden frame then covering it with firestone Epdm rubber. I had a look at this rubber and was surprised by how thin it is, I was looking for a bit of advice from anybody who knows a bit more about roofing on whether this rubber roofing is any good? Is it any better/worse than felt?
Any advice at all about this is much appreciated
