    Is an EPDM rubber roof safe to walk on?

    Is an EPDM rubber roof safe to walk on? Is it more slippery than most roof types or anything I should be aware of, specific to walking on this type of roof? Of course, I always take safety precautious if walking on my roof as it is. Thank you.

    Felt flat roof window upstand replacement

    Any help would be appreciated. I am replacing my small flat roof window on a felt roof but will also need to replace the upstand which is very old. The new upstand is a little smaller than the previous one. What would be the best way to remove the old upstand as the flashing pieces extend around 180mm onto the deck, should each entire flashing piece be removed from the deck? I can cut around the base of the upstand to remove that easy enough, the felt pieces on the deck seem well stuck down. Thank you

    Roof replacement cost estimation

    I am reposting this question I asked a couple of days ago, as I can't seem to open the answers, thanks to everyone who already answered, though I can't view your answers which might be caused by the same question title used by someone before already, so I repost using a different title. We potentially need to replace the original roof of a semi detached bungalow, the roof material is of concrete title, the total area is about 60m2, we wonder how much we need to budget on a like for like replacement? Many thanks!

    Advice needed please

    Slateroof extension leaks in heavy downpours. Professionals have said that pitch is just adequate and installed okay. Is there a waterproof agent that i could paint on to seal as my next process of elimination ? Renewed lead recently but that didnt fix it.
