small flat roof
Wickes do a flat roof system, it's really easy to use and doesn't
require any special tools. You can pick up one of their "how to" leaflets for it at one of their stores. Can't vouch for its longevity though. |

My flat roof is about 20 years old - with easy access - and I'd fancied replacing it myself when needed rather than pay out extortionate roofer's prices. But the thought of boiling pitch rather put me off. -- *Gaffer tape - The Force, light and dark sides - holds the universe together* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
