Default Replacement Flat Roof

Just going to start replacing my 20sq m flat felted kitchen roof with
a glass fibre replacement. The felt is at least 15 years old and I
suspect has been hot torched on. Has anyone tried to remove hot
torched felt? Any help will be appreciated.


Attack it with a garden spade. The base layer is usually nailed to the deck,
its the waterproof upper layer that is hot torched on. Get the spade under
the base layer at any point and the rest is just a matter of prying and
tearing.

Thats how the pro's do it, with a spade
