Recent rain has shown my flat roof is leaking. It's part of a conversion

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.


Glassfibe will be quite a bit more expensive than EPDM. Probably best
to find a roofer who can provide quotes.

I don't think any special tools are needed to install EPDM, so it may be
suitable for DIY, though you may need several people to handle the
weight. It took 1 day to reroof a double garage with EPDM including
changing some boarding and maybe a joinst.
