small flat roof

Do it exactly how they tell you, not cutting any corners or thinking "I can't understand why they say that, I won't bother", and you'll get a better job than most professionals would manage.

Disclaimer: I've not used that range of Ruberoid materials myself, but following the details in their old "Blue Book" has always given me excellent, neat, and long-lasting results.

Don't be tempted to save a few quid by using cheap felts that don't last a winter on a rabbit hutch.

Wickes do a flat roof system, it's really easy to use and doesn't require any special tools. You can pick up one of their "how to" leaflets for it at one of their stores. Can't vouch for its longevity though.

Useful article - thanks. My flat roof is about 20 years old - with easy access - and I'd fancied replacing it myself when needed rather than pay out extortionate roofer's prices. But the thought of boiling pitch rather put me off.
