    DIY Repairing an EPDM rubber roof.

    Patching repairs is one option. Would still like the option of using the super silicon, but no one seems to sell it in the UK. Or have I missed something?

    venting pipe / ducting issue ?

    Most probably another bodged job where the ducts are not connected to anything. Switch your fan on and see if you can feel any air coming out of there. As others have said, I would put some sort of cover on there to prevent the rain from getting in.

    DIY Repairing an EPDM rubber roof.

    Yes. If you know where the hole/leak is, then it's an easy repair. The problem occurs if you have a very small leak and you can't locate the point where the water is getting in.

    DIY Repairing an EPDM rubber roof.

    If you can see the OSB boards, then it is relatively easy to pinpoint the location of the leak. However, if your ceiling is covered with decorative materials (ie plasterboard, tiles, paper, plastic panels, etc) then it becomes a real challenge from the inside to find out where the water is...

    DIY Repairing an EPDM rubber roof.

    That is one option. But why can't we buy the super silicone in the UK? And how would you even try and find a pinhole leak on a flat roof? With a car tyre, you have to immerse the tyre in water and see where the bubbles are.

    Damp rafters - no felt

    I bet that in-line fan ducting is leaking moisture into your loft.

    Am I worrying too much (gable end edition)

    That's what I was referring to - the roof tiles and the whole roof blowing off in very windy conditions.

    Am I worrying too much (gable end edition)

    That gap needs to be filled in or covered. Otherwise, the whole thing may blow off in windy conditions.
