Recent rain has shown my flat roof is leaking. It's part of a
conversion built about 30 years ago. Very nicely built - the correct
lie etc and marine ply decking, and lead flashing. Think it is three
layer. Size approx 5x5 metres.

Any of the modern alternatives better? Membrane or fibreglass? And a
rough idea of relative costs would be nice too.

Access is easy, but it's never walked on etc except for any
maintenance.


I find it mildly curious that in the 21st century, no one has seen fit
to come up with something that can be poured, finds the crack and seals
it ...


It's already had that treatment. But same as paint, doesn't last forever.
