I've been using EDPM,
went on a one day course to learn how to do the corners.

It's easy to repair with its special primer and glues and patches, like when i dropped a slate on it.
Made by firestone , Ultra violet resistant.
Normal shed roofing only lasts a few years.
Lead has to have gaps for expansion where nwater dirt and ice get in.
And while youre at it add loads of insulation under it.
I did OSB3, then kingspan attached with foam, then OSB3, then EDPM

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.
