Is this a common issue with flat roofs? I was hoping to go flat/near flat to trim roofing costs- is it just going to cost me in the long run. :|

How much are people willing to pay for me to design a GRP flat roof system?

+1 for GRP, yes more difficult weather wise but well worth it In my opinion.

Well @scottishjohn and @SteamyTea ; within 20 meters of my house there is a Tupperware  (oops GRP ) roof which is still leaking two  (three?) full years after it was built  - when the temperature outside was too low.   I did suggest to the owner of the roof,  that the weather forecast  wasn't too good. But he was under time pressure.

 

Each summer since it was built he has tried to repair the leak: without success.

@AnonymousBosch have you found the leak?

 

No, not yet. Been first fixing the electrics. No excuse for me to sleep.

The leak is tiny: a drip every two or three minutes.

well if people don't do a job right, what do they expect.

Bit like making mashed potatoes, without boiling the spuds.

Possibly, or something is quickly soaking up all that water.

Exactly.

I'm almost past caring now. It won't matter if we leave the ceiling open until next summer. So it can dry out. 

 

It takes about an hour to get a drip during heavy rain. And a day or so to stop dripping. Thing is the area concerned is in the rain shadow, so it drips every few weeks. 

It has been the next but one job for the last few weeks ... ?
