Hi Guys,
I have a flat roof over my kitchen/bathroom extension to the house I just bought - it was built in the early '90s and it leaks.
When we bought the place we could see that there was damage to the plasterwork but over the last day or two with the heavy driving rain it's slowly starting to drip through.
Not having the most amount of cash available for repairs I was wondering how I might go about fixing this?
Is it possible to tar over the roof again and let it dry out from the inside and then re-plaster, or should we seek to do a more long term job and lay a waterproof membrane, lap it and re-tar / felt the roof?
Any advice on short / long term solutions welcome, especially advice on how to do it yourself...or recommendations for roofers.
the area of roof is quite small - about 3.5m X 2m.
Thanks in advance
