    My advice would be to avoid felting the roof , I put a new roof on mine incorporating a double gable using 18mm ply , this was then finished with
    Fibreglass .
    You could have keep it flat but put 18mm ply then Fibreglass . You won't have any further problems .
    Of course all this will depend on the budget .

    Not when he uses sub-contract labour, leaving you with a leaking roof, then promises to come back and put it right and then you never see him again. A relic of the Stoneage, Wilmaaaa!

    Steve Forshaw has done a couple of flat roofs for me in the past, one approx 10 years ago and another a couple of years ago.
    Came when he said, did the job, no problems.

    Fivreglass roof are not too clever to be honest would not be my first choice, a good flat roofer will tell you that also they do not look as good as a professionally layed felt roof. Just my opinion i hope you dont have to replace your fibreglass in the nearfuture due to cracking ...

    A felt roof with ht felt is the best and longest lasting job a lot better than and other roofing method
