I have been advised to do this as I may want to tile or turf over
the top in the future.

I know nothing about asphalt roofing. It doesn't seem to be a DIY
job as far as I can tell! Has anyone got any advice or
alternatives?

Appreciate all help.

H.

I've got a roof terrace which is a conversion from the original sloping
tiled roof and it is asphalt on a plywood over joists construction. GRP
reinforced concrete 'promenade' tiles on top. The exposed upstands of the
asphalt need to be kept painted with the appropriate white paint to
prevent melting in the sun.

It certainly looked rather a skilled job. ;-)

Dunno about alternatives. This was the only solution offered by the
architect.

I'm replacing my flat garage roof right now.

150mm joists, 18mm plywood, several coats of bitumen paint, and pvc
tiles.

See http://www.tacttiles.com/

Property is on sloping ground and the roof is almost level with the
normal patio.

Thanks Dave. Appreciate that. I'm just waiting for a quote from a
local company. When I recover from that, - i'll post the results!

Cheers.

I don't know, as I don't know your nurse. She is incompetent as she allows
you out.

Thanks Dave,

I've just had a quote for an asphalt roof (26foot x 19foot) and
it comes to approx £2000 inc vat. So, I will probably end up
going the butyl-rubber, plastic membrane, then mortar and paving
slabs route!

Cheers for now, H.
