Hi,
The flat roof of the house I have bought was replaced in 2007 with an asphalt one by a reputable company. However no insulation was added, by choice of the previous owners. It's a 1970, two storey mid-terrace.
I'm investigating a warm roof and would like to know is there any reason why I cannot add insulation then felt on top? I have been told another asphalt covering would be too heavy, which sounds reasonable. Or what about EPDM? It seems about twice as expensive, but would last a lot longer. 50 years as opposed to 15/20?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Brod.
