    It has a film on it that burns off when torching. Won't grab too well with cold adhesive. Just used sand faced, cheaper too !

    Flat roof leak help please

    If it's a blister, it's air. If it can keep in air, it can hold out water. He's a diy'er who wants a simple fix, for a roof that is, in the main, fine. Over egging the pudding doesn't help. Does it?

    Re-roof insulation regs

    If you are keeping loft area, you can insulate across the rafters as usual. 220mm of rockwall last time i looked. 3x2 won't take a concrete tile if 2ft spacing. You'll need to go back with slate or eternit type tiles. Party wall not required.

    Flat roof leak help please

    It's easily repairable. The cracking is on the exposed bitumen where they have mopped the drips up. Get a tin of Acropol and follow instructions.

    It needs a gasket on the inspection plate, 5 minutes work. Make sure upstairs is not having a dump when its fixed. Could also be a combination stack taking rainwater also.

    Looks like they have used the wrong flashing kit. Also look like tile n halves which would make it look worse.
