Best stuff for sealing a small flat asphalt roof?
The flat roof on my extension has started leaking again. Can anyone recommend the best stuff for sealing it? I think last time, I used some black stuff - designed specifically for that job - in a can from B&Q. But is there anything more long-lasting that I can try? Thank you Don |

Not an entirely facetious comment. Conventional flat roofs are cheap to put up and there's nothing wrong with them, AS LONG AS you factor in replacement costs every 10-15years. If you don't they are a disaster. The fact that your roof is leaking *again* means it needs replacing. In the meantime, you can get rolls of the sticky lead coloured tape (backed with bitumen) that you can patch the hole with. Choose a warmish dry day (sorry!) and roll the patch on hard with a wallpaper seam roller (well, that's what I have used). Can't remember the trade names but it should be easy to get hold of. -- Bob Mannix (anti-spam is as easy as 1-2-3 - not) |
