Work started on the Flat roof area in early 2012.

This work covered flat roof area over the family room, <\/span>shower room and garage, increasing the insulation over the shower room and family room with 50mm of Kingspan, and adding 150mm of Kingspan to the roof of the garage (cinema\/utility room) area, and converted from 3 separate roofs with parapet walls, to a single flowing warm roof.<\/span>

I was still owed a third skip from the loft conversion, so I used this as an opportunity for a free skip for removing all of the waste materials from the roof.<\/p>\n

After a year or so, the rubberised paint started to fail, so I am not going to recommend this for any one else to use.<\/p>\n

No matter how thick I had put the paint on, it simply looked like it was washing away, and the joints I had covered with bitumen tape were also cracking.<\/p>\n

So I decided to bite the bullet and redo the roof with fibreglass before it started to let any more water in.<\/p>\n

The process involved applying a layer of 18mm tongue and groove OSB over the top of the existing roof as a new surface layer.<\/p>\n

Next step was to fit all of the edge trims and then join these to the roof with a 6″ fibreglass bandage before putting down the matting.<\/p>\n

First apply 50% of the mixed resin directly to the roof, then place down the matting and then apply the other 50% over the top and then work it with a corrugated roller to ensure it is all an even colour and that there are no air gaps.<\/p>\n

The above process is performed in 1x1m sections at a time to avoid the resin going off too fast.<\/p>\n

Once the whole roof has been covered and allowed to dry, a coloured resin top coat can be applied.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately it would appear that I did not take any photos of when I applied the fibreglass.<\/p>\n
