    60 years! wow, my roof is 20 years old, probably doesn't need replacing just yet, but to save thousands on a new roof, this is definitely a great option. Nice video. cheers

    Having found your video on this product about one month ago I’m now on my third tin making good on my sisters roof (which is quite a big area) which had a slight leak in one area, I decided to go over every joint after the leak was resolved with this product to give a feel of confidence in the roof for hopefully many more years to come. Thank you for your video 👍

    I have a flat roof with the same fall towards the tiles emptying at the ends. 12 years ago I had it fibreglassed but last week it leaked. I cleaned it, raised the lower tiles then put in flashing tape, reset the tiles and used the same product but very thickly to allow a settling. In prep I could not determine a split of anything so proceeded to cover a larger area that might contribute. Take no notice of “ experts” criticising, a good logical approach using quality products is just what you hope they would give you - well done!

      Thanks for the video - my flat roof is leaking from the soffit ( water clearly dripping from the vent ) and now seems to have breached a small area around the window where the plaster is wet and water dripping between the window and wall. Any ideas what this could be ? Also a small waterfall dripping from the felt into the gutter in that area - along the rest of the roof it's a steady flow ...​@@froywhernside

      Yeh spot on with the pricing but would depend on what’s underneath, Iv seen these dormers with next doors chipping stones on top making double work there alone so I would always price them on site inspection. Tile or slate would make a difference too. This is defo not the original finish on this it’s been overlaid atleast once without being stripped off, you will have original nailed and hot pour roof for that age of build. Strip both at same time create a gutter with insulation would be my advice.

    Roof leaks, bah...
    I built basically a wooden extension slash porch across the back of my house with a 40 degree slope roof that lead onto a flat roof that was sloped enough to prevent standing rain water. Flashed & rendered it all in & I had a leak when I had heavy rain. Double checked flashing, re rendered, sealed, painted & eventually rubber painted it all trying to fix the leak & as I was just doing the joint from the 40 degree slope to the flat surface, I noticed a small hole next to a felt nail that bent to one side as I hammered it in creating a small opening....

    The builders/roofers who created the roof were cowboys who didn't create a fall. Also the gutter installed is ridiculous since the felt does not sit into it, instead there is a gap.
    Your neighbour had more cowboys who look like they've just torched felt over the old felt.
    I'm a DIYer/renovator, and we have to deal with this stuff because so many of the trades are just useless. In London if you want to get a roof re-felted you're looking at £1500 min for that area. That's £200 in materials max and the rest in profit. Even lawyers aren't making that kind of money.

      Thanks for these videos I've got a similar 1960s built property and it's been interesting seeing the issues you've had with your house. It's good you could recover the entire flat roof instead of having a join down the middle. @@froywhernside

      Felt is tried and tested traditional nothing wrong with it can last 30 years or more if done correctly. Rubber is one layer of shite probably poorly installed by some chippy who went on a one day course and thinks he's a flat roofer
