fibre glass roofing help please

hi
we have a sun balcony attatched to our house and have in the past recovered it with felt but without much success
whatever we put down on it needs to be able to withstand walking on as it being a sun balcony.
we used a rubber compound on it last year but it only lasted about 6 months before it started to crack and leak.
i found a company on the www who supplies the materials but i was wondering if anyone has got this product and is it any good
this is the company
http://www.cfsnet.co.uk/project-roofs.html

any help and advice is greatly appriciated

thanks

    yes the product is really good but we have a problem with the contracter and manufacturer to do with how the lead has been fitted around it. also ther guarantee is not worth the paper it is written on, try to makesure you go with a firm that has a good reputation with the fitting side.
    Before you point fingers,make sure your hands are clean !;)

    tnx for reply
    we have had a quote of about 350 to supply everything, including tools, we need apart from the 18mm plyboard so thats then gonna bump it up by around 50 or more for a decent ply
    the balcony is about 15 sq meters

    we had a local company give us a quote for them to do it all and it came out at 700 which i didnt think was too bad considering the amount of work involved.
    but we have to remove the balcony railings and then put them back up ourselves.

    the only problemis with this as i have been reading is the weather has to be dry and at present we have lashings of rain which is just typical LOL
