Heavy rain all yesterday shows my flat roof is leaking again. It's
felt, and about 30 years old. Been 'fixed' a few times, but time to
replace.

The deck is good quality ply, so hoping that is still fine.


a false economy


Really?

a replacement deck is a trivial part of the whole


When did you last buy decent quality ply?

All the flashings etc lead. It was designed by a decent architect, and
installed by his recommended builders and roofers.

Size is approx 3.5 x 4 metre

Anyone give a rough guide as to costs - felt, membrane, glass fibre?

Access is easy so no scaffolding needed.


it doesn't matter how easy access is, it's how easy it is to fall off
that the issue


and that will be much the same for all non-enclosed roofs.


If I feel safe up there, I'd expect a skilled roofer to do too. It has
parapet walls.
