    flat roof leak replace/over cover with epdm

    Just go and buy some 11mm osb. It'll be a total better finish than 6mm ply. 6mm ply should never be used for any kind of flat roofs imo, Not even overboarding. Sounds like you may not want to spend alot of money. So just buy a sheet of EPDM, Lay it over the flat roof and weighit down with...

    GRP or EPDM - Had quotes not sure what to go with

    Go with EPDM, But try and get a couplemore quotes at least. The £1944 for EPDM seems steep to me if you've already boarded it?? £1944 is about £72 sq mt. £1300 is a more reasonable figure. Maybe even cheaper...Depending on who you get to do it.

    GRP or EPDM - Had quotes not sure what to go with

    Looks like no 3"" seam tape was used IMO. Yet another so called Flat Roofer who thinks they can fit EPDM and who clearly knows nothing about fitting it. No care and pride in the work whatsoever.

    Am I being given the right advice on renewing flat roof?

    Xenon, That is a great response. Regarding the mtr sq you've stripped, All I can say is fair play, That proves your point that the EPDM single ply system can be fitted by cowboys, un-qualified, monkeys. If any flat roof system is fitted incorectly, It WILL fail. With EPDM, If its a...

    Am I being given the right advice on renewing flat roof?

    So your honestly saying felt will outlast EPDM?? How long does a felt roof last?? Does it split/crack after so many years? Does rubber??

    Am I being given the right advice on renewing flat roof?

    EPDM is a better product IMO. Fit as many layers of felt as you want, But over time it will fail and leak because of the joins and over time the expansion and contraction will eventually see them joins fail. EPDM however wont fail IMO, As there is no joins on most flat roofs, It expands...

    Repairing leak on Asphalt roof and later rubber roof coating

    Agree with the above post....EPDM is the way to go. For a temp repair? Acrypol (spelling) maybe?
