Would I need something like 47mm x 100mm Sawn Timber Treated for the left edge to provide an upstand for the vapour barrier and keep the insulation contained ? Thanks

That would be good. Unfortunately the roof is a little more complicated. (I didn't want to complicate things) There is a image here that shows how it wraps around the house. I think it made be hard to do a sloped roof around that. Thanks

Hi I have an old flat roof work room where half of it was converted quickly into a bathroom (no vapour barrier or adequate ventilation). Although I see no issues with damp in the bathroom below I am now I am converting the other side of this workroom into a office and wanted to have a warm roof to correct any possible issues with the bathroom side. The felt needs replacing anyhow. I have tried to get a few local roofers to give quotes but they all ghost me after viewing. I think the issue is the soil stack show in the image here I suspect they don't want to be hassled with it. The large soil pipe leading to the back goes directly into the upstairs bathroom for the toilet and so can't really be moved. Does anyone have suggestions for how to deal with this ? Ideally I would like to stick with the warm roof to solve the issues above even if it meant just going up to the front of the pipe and keeping that area as is (re felted or grp). Looks are not that important as its not a visible area. Thanks for any advoce

Hi everyone. I have always been a keen on diy and I am currently trying to convert half an out building to an office Thought I would try to get advice on flat roof issue that I cant seem to get the professionals to quote for and may have to take on myself.
