Hi,
I'm planning on re-doing the flat roof to my house but am not sure how best to finish one of the edges. The flat roof is at the highest point of the house and there is a very steeply pitched slate 'roof' (near vertical - I'm afraid I don't know the angle) sloping down from the back. The current flat roof (felt - now dead) simply overlapped this by about 100 mm and was sealed to it. I am planning on fitting an EPDM membrane (on top of new Kingspan TR31) but want to ensure this edge is properly sealed. So....
1) Is lead flashing the best approach? (it's on old house so lead would look more 'traditional').
2) What is the best way to attach this?
3) What is the best way to attach the membrane to this?
Sorry for the rather ignorant questions - I've found loads of info on-line and in DIY books relating to joining a flat roof to a pitched roof sloping upwards, but not down!
