    Hi. I'm building a extension, some of which includes a flatroof. The flatroof is 12foot X 14foot approx. I'm not sure what to cover it with. Everyone is telling me torch-on felt, but I dont know how to put it on. Any help appreciated!

    Thanks for reply. I cant really afford to get anyone though. Whats the things I need to look out for if I do it myself? How many layers of it you normally put down?

    Hi
    I would advise you to get a professional that is full insured for this type of work. It is a specialised job. I have seen 2 house that had very bad experience ( Fire ) where the torch burned the felt in origional house 2 roofs burned. It can happen in seconds.
