    Thanks for the suggestions. Pros/cons of each?



    Cons of lead and copper are getting them nicked.

    ...
     My go to is fleece backed epdm 
    Any particular reason?
    I feel that standard epdm is quite thin and could possibly be damaged unlikely but possible, the fleece backed is a lot stronger
    Thanks.
    How does it compare to Triflex or the sure-it or flexitec2020 mentioned above?
  • Sorry just noticed!
    Apart from cure it, your post is the first I’ve heard of the other systems they look quite effective.
     I’m not a roofer I’m a carpenter who builds a lot of flat roofs, I alway do a warm roof so keeping it all dry is my main concern I can achieve this quite quickly with rubber.
     As long as it applied correctly I can give a 25 year guarantee, expected to last 50.

    Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.'
