Hi all,

I've put a wooden roof on a room/building that joins a house wall. The room is 2.4.m high and onto a semi-detached house (i.e the roof butts up to the wall at 90 degrees) and due to a variation in the house wall i've found a 1cm gap between the room roof and the house wall. I'm not massively concerned about this as i'm planning on putting a rubber roof on and so that will have a plastic flashing fixed into a mortar rebate/channel when i put that on and so i've silicon sealed along the 1cm gap anyway but as it's going to be a couple of weeks until i get the rubber roof i'm slightly concerned about bad weather (which is due to us) in the interim so i didn't know if it would be better to either get a length of flashing and then then chase out the mortar and fit it so that the bottom of the vertical bit that touches the top of the roof onto a tarpaulin until i get the rubber roof OR put a flashband on there for the time being which i "think" i prefer but then wondered about being able to glue the rubber roof on top of it (which would be nice as a double protection, so a flashband and then a flashing over the top of that) or would i have to remove the flashband first (as there was one on there on the conservatory this room is replacing and it was a nasty affair getting that off)
Hope that makes sense but any ideas/advice would be great
Thanks
