Has anyone heard of putting an asphalt roof on a block and beam construction?

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.

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.

And they let you walk on this?

Nurse late with the medication again?

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.
