If it’s a wooden shed I’d recommend felt as this is best to prevent the water from entering also checking the boards to make sure the boards are stable

epdm would be best suited for this as it is relatively light weight and can be cut to size to cover most domestic flat roofs in one peice. a variety of trims are also available to finish off the perimeter neatly.

Hiya,   I would suggest some single ply pvc membrane...or some heat applied felt...  or a liquid applied polymer based sealer such as Hpx or instaseal

Best way is to use is rubber  makes it completely water tight

Bernard · Answer

Yes your best and cheapest is bitumen roof felt but make sure the wood underneath is OK

Justin · Answer

First of all I’ll make sure the base is strong enough for you to be working on. Then I would strip the existing waterproof membrane not so waterproof now. I would use a perforated felt which is now down with 20 mil tax galvanised. I would then go to your local roofing yard And buy a four mil torch on felt with a green mineral cap sheet personally this is the best way to waterproof any any roof. I hope this information is useful to you regards Justin.

There’s a lot you can do to a flat roof re-felt it, EPDM rubber it, liquid rubber it in a paint form. Fibre glass, metal sheets

If it's OSB boarded, your wanting a good quality breathable membrane, this to help air vent through the roof without moisture on the boards and making the roof last longer.
