Flat roof protection - what do I use?

[rekamon]

Hi,

I have a flat roof which is mastic asphalt painted with a solar reflective paint. I sometimes go onto the roof to sit in the sun! I have noticed though that the chair legs make a very small dint in the roof. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? Maybe some sort of material to place down when I do sit on a chair on the roof.

Thanks in advance.

Some not too heavy patio slabs, or short lengths of deckboard to spread the load. Should you really be walking about on this roof?

slabs laid on jablite or simular

Promenade tiles bonded with PU are the correct solution, or Spartan tiles bonded in bitumen.

You do not say what type of asphalt, so i will assume 988 grade, Re solaflect exposed areas after tiling to prolong life.

Thanks for the help guys. I am thinking of getting promenade tiles and have got a quote from the person that layed the asphalt down. He advised £60 per square metre.

Does this sound reasonable?

Thanks.

£60 per square metre.

Tile cost is about £22 M2, a few bottles of PU adhesive, say £30 M2 materials. We pay £5 a M2 to our asphalters. If its only a small area, he needs to make it pay a days wages, so probably fair price. Without seeing it, its all guesswork.

Hi Xenon, thanks for your advice.

Heres a link to a pic of the roof when it was redone.
