If there is a flat roof with say a 8 deg (<10 Deg) pitch where the membrane is supported by rafters rather than joists.

Will it cause any issues to install a loft hatch to access the loft space of a flat warm roof?

Thanks @noseall. Please could you comment on other aspects too? E.g., dry verge, tiles, soffit, fascia, bargeboard etc.?

Thanks @pcaouolte . Please could you let me know what's wrong with the lead work and dry verge? Are they functional or will likely fail? Which is the visible timber under the lead flashing you mentioned? I've attached a few more photos.

@Sonic70 this is what it looks like on the outside

Is it normal to be able to see daylight in my loft space? The first two pics with brickwork visible are along the pitch. The light seen in the third pic is towards the soffit.

@robinbanks are you able to tell based on this photo? Is this a bad flashing job? Thank you!

My nan had a roof replacement. There were some irregularities during the whole process and neither of us are too well versed in this. To your trained eye, how is the workmanship of this? Please let me know if it's absolutely dog****. Photos: https://postimg.cc/gallery/JXn4dD1

He mentioned to rip out all old joists and replaced them all with new timber.

There was suddenly a small hole in the plasterboard after a rainy week letting a small amount of water in which then stopped after awhile and did not let more water in in subsequent rain. We moved into this house a couple of years ago and have been told that the flat roof came with the original...

Hi all, My roofer has stripped my roof and said that the joists (let alone the deck) needs to be replaced. When exposing the roof, there was some Weetabix like stuff that the roofer said was chipboard that should have never been used to begin with. I have attached a photo of the joists below...

I can quite clearly see the boundaries between the plasterboards above. I noticed a tiny hairline crack in IMG_20260324_132703~2.jpg that when I push I can physically see the crack expanding and contracting as I push it. Is this indicative of the boards themselves not installed correctly?

Just to check, by crazing do you mean the cracks on the wall to ceiling junction?

Thank you @23vc for the response. Just to avoid any doubt in my mind, besides the ceiling to wall junction, is the middle of the ceiling also poorly done? Is this because it should look completely smooth and not have the white streaks in the photo attached?

Thanks for the response @cross thread. Please could you elaborate? Is it just the edges? What are the issues?
