    Hello,

    I have a second story dormer bedroom flat room. There are two bedrooms, so the flat room is about 20' x 12'. I had a roofer around the other day, who said yes, it had blisters so did need to be done.

    In order to do it, 1300 euro "cash price". By the sounds of it, it'll take 1 and a quarter days. I think this is a ridiculous price to torch on some felt, and stick create the seal under some tiles. Anyone got experience in this field?

    I have a similar sized flat roof (20' x14') and recently got a quote for 3,500euro. This quote involved removing the existing roof, new treated plywood, insulation and laying new felt. They originally quoted me 4,500!

    I think i'm going to end up doing this myself in a couple of months.

    I have a house that I was renting, and the tenants never told me the roof was leaking so it got continuously worse. By the time they moved out, the ceiling was nearly caved in.
    Im not sure of the size of the roof but the room underneath that part is only a small box room. My uncle said he could do it for about 1200 euros. Then he discovered the entire flat roof (covering a box room and standard double room) needed replacing - costing about 3000 or more. So I guess thats the cost of things these days. :(

    Still havent got it fixed so Id say theres a lake in me house

    After the initial quote of 1300, (plus all the usual 'on the insurance' shiiite) got it done for 750 cash, with a bit of flashing thrown in. Tip top job I think, pays to shop around. Gives a bit of peace of mind - if the chip board gets wet underneath - ruined.
