Roofing help

Is there a roofing board out there that is pre felted so you just slap them down and felt and seal the joints?

Im looking at this from a time saving side of things.

Thanks

DIY flat roofing

There's a place near us here that supplies a rubber roof that you put on in one piece over your chipboard or whatever you use.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I am after just flat ie not corrugated OSB board or the like that already has felt stuck to it.

I need to board the roof (slight pitch) and then batton it and tile it.

If you're battening it and tiling you don't need any boards Col, put your felt over the rafters then fasten it down with some tanalised roof laths to fasten your tiles to. Make sure your tiles are suited to the roof pitch. I run the laths a few inches longer than the roof and wedge some builders board under the ends and stuff the gap between the tile and board with cement to tidy them up. You can get bitumenised osb from timber yards or building suppliers.
