Title: thinking about rolling flexseal over entire flat roof will it work?
Post by: Marty Champions on January 16, 2017, 05:46:09 AM

its a flat roof over a garage... the roof is also a beautiful large balcony\porch. its unsafe it has some shitty rubber rolled roof on it some of the wood is bad

basically i will replace someof the old wood remove or replace whatever is bubbling and make sure nothing is spongy or flexing


and roll a few coats of flex seal over the whole roof im thinking this is the most cost effective n also best fix

yes flat roofs are terrible

its like a 50 x30 roof pretty massive

GRP on top of some glass fibre matt will work nicely. You have to lay it wet but when it goes off forms a seamless surface and will never, ever leak.

If it's your own house I'd bite the bullet and spend the extra constructing a pitched roof, it pays off in the long run

I did commercial roofing years ago, we used something similar to a driveway sealant on roofs that had good rubber underneath...forget what it's actually called tho.

  You're correct tho...putting up a pitched roof from a flat roof base isn't cheap. I don't think it's 20k but still fairly expensive.
