Make sure you don't catch yourself saying " that will be ok till next year"....

like a load of wet Weetabix with cracked felt holding it together...

I am, sorry cant understand why anyone would install a flat roof, more trouble than they are worth.

I paid to have an extra 3" of crossfall added plus a silicone layer, all new insulation and all new boards then 3 layers of quality felt all hot bonded...

I did the workshop roof 6 years ago using marine ply boarding with EPDM on top. Not easy getting it up on the roof as it is a one-piece covering, but well worth it- still looks a treat and not so much as a dribble gets through.

Hmm just about to do this with our dormer roof. Getting rid of the felt and putting down EPDM rubber. Wouldn't go with felt anymore and GRP cant be laid in less than 5c temperatures.

because the insert naughty word council wont let me have a tiled apex to match the rest of my house as it will make my property exceed the 30 % extension allowance. They then then went on to say a flat roof was not in keeping with the house or surrounding houses. My wife said she was glad I had not gone to the council office with her as I might have jumped across the desk and grabbed the chap by the throat. They allowed a flat roof for size reasons.
Not everyone plans on installing a flat roof.
