You can deal with accredited contractors and get a proper design by and install at reduced risk (although at a price - but at least it will work). Oh I know it’s to cost !!

Pocster Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Right! Had many a "roofer" out. Today a guy from about a week ago wanted to view again with 2 technical guys. They were speechless. Said it was the worst rubber install ever. The site is unique and non-standard and that the architect was wrong to insist on rubber. The 'details' at the front (around gate posts etc.) being the main issue of concern. They looked for a good hour - pulling many faces. Ultimately they seemed to agree that it could 'probably' be done with a liquid membrane . SIG are out tomorrow - be interesting too see how shocked he will be!

PeterW Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Who installed the rubber and what is the guarantee..?? If they are prepared to state its not to the manufacturers spec then I would be looking for money back. And your architect...... There are some good ones, and some who are pragmatic. Yours sounds like a twonk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours sounds like a twonk. My architect presumably just thought "it's a rubber roof" - had no idea and no design for the 'details". Forget about the original 'roofers' abysmal error - they obviously didn't take into account the detail also and just bodged it. Cash job ; so that's my bad...... ? The 3 guys today must more conscious of the complexities . So now I have something to go on can judge SIG tomorrow...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Punter Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 That is good as the rubber membrane looked fine, just the detailing and drainage. I imagine that just removing the build up as you have will halt the water ingress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to note with "asphalt" that as I alluded to I think above it comes in different grades as in for roofs, to drive on (in delivery bays etc).
