Flat Roof Repair: Felt or Rubber.

[ncowan]

Hi,

I'd appreciate some advice about flat roofing repair to a relatives flat roof.

My mother's been quoted 1100 euro for a 'rubber' repair, and then, from a second roofer, 500 euro for a 'torch on felt' repair to a felt flat roof. She was told that 'people don't use felt anymore' by the first roofer and is worried about quality/durability of the cheaper repair.

She needs to borrow money for the repair, so the cheaper option is much more preferable, but how do the two different techniques differ?

Let's assume both roofers are highly competent.

Apologies if it's been discussed before. I "don't have time to swing a cat" at the moment let alone read through the other threads

It's like fixing a puncture on a bike, cut a patch and spray glue it on,

Felt will last 10 years EPDM will last 50+ how old is she?

Neither felt or Rubber, GRP (fibre glass)is the option I'd recommend as it's more robust that Rubber with the same 50 year ish life duration.
You'll get 15 - 20 years with felt nowadays it's better gear than what it used to be.

You've got to weigh up how long you'll have the property as felt is the cheaper option.

Did a fibreglass roof for the first time a couple of years ago. Piece of piss.

Tin of flexicryl screwfix .pour it out roll it if it's a repair it could last years.about £100 a tin

 

[Smudger1]

If it's a felt roof do repair using felt and bitumen, or primer and torch on green mineral felt. depending on how large the area needs repairing. If small area and want to do it on the cheap there's a few tins of different instant seal stuff you can pour on n brush or roll out. Make sure it's dried out before anything.
