Flat roofs. Should be outlawed. They are going to leak man.

Hmm, maybe isn't a flat roof? I think the lights I see may not be sky lights????

I had a look @ a friends house & that had the wildest roof design I have ever seen ..... It was flat, & it was concrete, 18" thick concrete with tar poured on the top ....... Which was fine back in 1890 when it was built .....but in 2007 it was a leakin' ....... Well scraping the 3" thick tar wasn't a issue really simple enough ..... It was drying the masonary so the new pour would stick ...... I have no idea how to do that ..... Other than scaffold the roof, cover it in corigated metal & leave it a couple of years to dry itself ...... Any ideas ?

Either way you look at it ..... Its gonna be tricky

Hell with it. Truss it up and shingle it. Lotta work but flat roofs suck (water).

We don't do shingles here ......... Theys not posh enough ...... Spose could build a timber fingi-me-dufer & use slate ....... Or Tile if he's cheap ;)

Ya Limey's are a strange bunch. You won't use shingles but you will pour 3" of hot tar on 18" of concrete. :rolleyes:

Well. at $7.50 per slate have yer way covering 1 square foot of roof for $7.50. Tile is just as good and actually looks better than slate IMO.

Tile is a heap load heavier tho ....... Dunno what loads it will take ya see..... That & slate lasts 5X longer

[BadDriver]

I have torn off slates that were over 100 years old so I know they last a while. Terra cotta tile will last forever also unless ya Brits call something else tile??

Yeah, tile would be heavier I figure but wif 18" of concrete and 3" of tar I figure the load is already there. I don't know if I would want to walk into that joint or not. :eek:

All I can say is............fix it before it has too many freeze and thaw cycles or else ya could get kinda mashed flat in there. :D

[j.m@talk]

Umm we got tiles of all sorts ..... Clay & cementatious ......... Mine are some kinda clay ..... & hand made ...... Discontinued years ago ...... I have a secret stash in the garage incase of emergencies :D
