My rental shares an outbuilding with the neighbour - it's a flat concrete roof that has been leaking in the middle. On the neighbour's side the council recovered the roof with felt to seal it. I'm planning to do the same to my side.
The roof slopes slightly to the front where it is channeled into a gutter. The other side and back have raised edges - about 3-4" high.
I'm a fairly competent DIY'er, but I've never done this kind of job before - Any recommendations on felt type - 2-layer right?
Do I need to put anything down first - the concrete surface has been coated with Bitumen paint the last few years. Do I need to prep the surface with anything?
Plan on overlapping the felt on the neighbours side with the first piece running back to front and finish by running the felt up the raised side and flatten on top of the wall so no possibility of water getting down behind it.
Proper gloves are of course essential - any other tools recommended here? What issues may I run into? The job doesn't need to be pretty - it's basically just a shed - I just want it watertight.
Thanks
