bbq gone wrong on roof

gingerwinner · 3 Mar 2013

I've just had a bbq using a disposable bbq on the roof of my flat. Unfortunately the foil bbq came off it's stand and has burned the roof. The roof is covered in what I believe to be asphalt but I'm not sure.... its silvery grey but has now melted a bbq sized section that is now black.

I don't think that there is a hole but I can't be certain and I'm worried that water will get in when it rains. Can anyone advise how I can address this?

ive also uploaded a photo of the burned area.

If its a silvery grey finish , then you have probably got an asphalt roof this has then been painted with a heat reflective paint to try and keep some of the heat off the roof . If it has not gone through to the surface of the actual roof then you should be OK . However if your in any doubt you need to get an asphalt roofing specialist tohave a look at it for you. Its not really a job for a diyer .

looks like its just burned the paint off, dunno what that bitumen looking stuff is but it looks pretty waterproof.

In that case buy some silver reflective roof paint and just touch up the missing bit
