Well done boyos. That's my kind of roof. I have watched hundreds' of flat roofs done on You Tube. This is the first roof that has been done properly in my opinion. 4mm sanded? amazing, that is some roof!!
Not bad. Was first layer nailed or just torched round the edges. And hopefully not footprints all over the green. I would have done the green from the front to avoid marking it!
Very nice job! Just a suggestion, the word "to" is used like this - "I'm flying to Paris next year". If you are describing a number, the word is "two". Suggest you change the title, and it's ok to delete my comment, as it would serve no purpose after that. Cheers!
i currently have a single story flat roof extension on the back of the house, is it possible to extend the flat roof without relaying the entire flat roof on the existing extension (as it is still in good condition) - and then obviously extend the walls to suit etc.? would be interesting to get your thoughts
top man thanks alot@@qrsroofing if you know anyone who covers Shropshire for a recommendation? I also tried your website but I think you have a domain problem and it's unreachable at the moment
We’ve always been taught to have all layers running the same direction as the fall, some people will say you should never cross bond the felt but we have also done that plenty of times and never had an issue.
Have me anxiety watching the dry out the close boarded roof with th torch at the beginning. Once you've torched gaffe you'll be a while lot more careful 🤣
Hi, i have a question, i live in florida, i have a one car garage with a flat roof like the one on this video, no soffit, so no air coming in or out of the roof when close wit drywall . my plan is to install a mini split in the garage, Summer is to hot here, i know i have to insulate my garage door, now, how should i insulate this roof and what to use, my rafters are 16" x 2" and like 15 or 16" a part, left and right walls are block and stucco, anynof the two walls are exterior, left wall has my kitchen on the other side, and right wall meets my neighbors garage, the rafters goes right thru the blocks, so no wood against any of the walls. I want to do this my self, and im scared of moisture on the roof and floors.. I hope this info its enough for you to help me out, if you can, thanks in advance...
Hello Jorge, In the UK in this case we would strip the original roof covering, install a vapour control layer on the deck, 150mm insulation and then the new roof covering on top of that. It’s called a warm roof construction, pretty simple and very effective.
The roof covering is the roof system itself, so in this case a three layer torch on system. The insulation we use is Celotex rigid board insulation 150mm.
Ok then you will have a cold roof construction, rigid board celotex between the rafters making sure there is minimum 50mm space between insulation and top deck. Then you can drywall.
my neighbour has recently had their flat roof replaced with a rubber material which they said comes with a 25 year guarentee. What is your product made of please ?
Hello Les, this system is a three layer high performance torch on felt system, we guarantee them for 15 years but they will far outperform the guarantee.
Should get a metal hockey stick And cut the blade off and put a curved electrical conduit in where the blade was that’s what we use to pull are rolls so we’re never standing on it
@@mickhaynes8503 thanks mick So if you can’t use a venting layer (perforated) would you just use a 2mm underlay tacked down with clout nails the. Apply another 2mm underlay and then cap sheet?? Many thanks for your help… J
Never really got the idea behind that perforated layer. How can it help airflow when the roof gets sealed off everywhere? Unless it’s close boarded but even so I wouldn’t exactly call that ventilation either. I just use a 3b as the loose layer. FYI best 4mm over 4mm system I’ve used is an Italian brand called sappi. Can only buy it by the pallet from Meir roofing supplies in goole. Works out £33 a roll. Honestly you will be shocked. Not a lot of people know that.
@@qrsroofing I'm in Cardiff in Wales. But its a fairly big roof, its basically a shed with electrics, its an odd shape too. The main issue I'm having is pooling. So when i resurface it with bitumin or something, it eventually leaks through again.
How did these guys and these roofing companies get away with this on Facebook The torch down roofing material has been outlawed for years unless it's a metal deck or concrete deck and I don't see that here it's wood I live in New York when I did it it was a $10,000 fine if you caught
Andrew stop talking nonsense, we are not based in NEW YORK so it isn’t outlawed where we are. Maybe have a little think before you write stupid comments on people’s videos, as if I’d be posting a video of an illegal activity. Einstein 🤯

You need to get a life
You did a better job on that garage than I've seen on some houses!
Thank you Tom.
I have been roofing for about 22 years myself job looks damn good to me I am more of an EPDM guy myself but the install looked amazing
Thank you David, I like EPDM too but the system we install always depends on the customers budget.
I don't understand everything you did, but I would definitely take it! Looks great and professional!
Thank you.
Amazing job on the roof. Your a definatly masters at this. I think I will make my roof have a pitch though..
Thank you, I personally prefer flat roofs but each to their own.
Lovely thorough job , 👍👍👍👍
Really awesome job guys 👏🏽👏🏽
Not bad. Was first layer nailed or just torched round the edges. And hopefully not footprints all over the green. I would have done the green from the front to avoid marking it!
It was a very cold day so didn't have to worry about marking the felt, we do that in the summer.

Thanks for the comment, appreciate it.
I realised the mistake after I uploaded it but UA-cam won’t let me edit the title 😫
I am disappointed with the snide remarks about this flat roof, it is the best flat roof on You Tube.
Thank you Sir, appreciated.
I aint a roofer, but looks like a great job.
Thanks Nacho.
Nice job
Thanks!
wow you boys work quick
haha
Nice work, exact way I do my flat roofs what camera did you use? And how many batteries did it go through
Hello mate, I used a GoPro hero 4 and we left it plugged in.
I know this job was sped up but how many hours did that take in real time?
Hello Steven, the start of this video was approximately 7.45am and the end was about 3.30pm.

Yes you will be able to do that no problem, you can just join the new felt to the old felt and you will have no problems
top man thanks alot@@qrsroofing if you know anyone who covers Shropshire for a recommendation? I also tried your website but I think you have a domain problem and it's unreachable at the moment
Just a question, would it have been better to felt in cross layers? Or is if the same either way?
We’ve always been taught to have all layers running the same direction as the fall, some people will say you should never cross bond the felt but we have also done that plenty of times and never had an issue.
@@qrsroofing perfect, I’ve always cross bonded, I just did the tack on yesterday, rained all day today, I think I’ll try your way tomorrow! Nice one!

The roof covering, you mean the drywall? The part facing inside? Or the part facing outside? And what kind of insulation? R19?
The roof covering is the roof system itself, so in this case a three layer torch on system. The insulation we use is Celotex rigid board insulation 150mm.
Ok, but my roof was done last year, so, i cant re do it, how can i insulate the roof on the inside, so i can install drywall?
Ok then you will have a cold roof construction, rigid board celotex between the rafters making sure there is minimum 50mm space between insulation and top deck. Then you can drywall.
Wish I could have my flat roof fixed!
You can
@@qrsroofingreally?
Great work.
I'm guessing that you didn't charge them for 2 mins 😉
🤣🤣
Not at all
Why so many layers?
my neighbour has recently had their flat roof replaced with a rubber material which they said comes with a 25 year guarentee. What is your product made of please ?
Hello Les, this system is a three layer high performance torch on felt system, we guarantee them for 15 years but they will far outperform the guarantee.
Hourly rate of pay must be fantastic at that speed...
It’s not bad Doric 😂
I would have just nailed some new felt over it.....
Good job did you not put any drops at the bottom of the roof were gutter are ?
Of course we did Mark, the drips were pulled after the first layer was down 👍👍
I thought you did the video is propa quick lol 😂 nice to see people doing a flat roof properly 👌🏻
@@Roofer89 Quite agree Mark.
Not a roofer so just wondered why the layers weren't crossed over?
We are taught to always run the layers toward the fall of the roof, some say it matters others say it doesn't.
why should they be? Actually prohibited in some countries and it makes sense.
Should get a metal hockey stick And cut the blade off and put a curved electrical conduit in where the blade was that’s what we use to pull are rolls so we’re never standing on it
Where I am based we are taught this way, seems like every region has different methods of application Zach.
@@qrsroofing that’s very true I was just giving some ideas
@@zacherytrepanier5203 I'll give it a try mate.
I don't like to walk on hot felt also. You can leave a mark.
Do you not use a perforated venting layer 1st before underlay?
I’m just learning
Cheers
Not always you can’t use venting layer on a 6x1 boarded deck
As flame would go through the gaps
@@mickhaynes8503 thanks mick
So if you can’t use a venting layer (perforated) would you just use a 2mm underlay tacked down with clout nails the. Apply another 2mm underlay and then cap sheet??
Many thanks for your help…
J
@@jamiemclaughlin4270 you would use a 3B random tacked and would use a 4mm underlay then cap sheet
Yes.@@jamiemclaughlin4270

Not a lot of people know that.
How much does a full removal and recoating like this cost?
My outbuilding is absolutely desperate
1200
Ahh a tad too much for me. Mine is twice as big as this. I'll just keep resurfacing it until it dies and I'll claim on buildings insurance lol
All depends on size and area you are mate, where are you based?
@@qrsroofing I'm in Cardiff in Wales. But its a fairly big roof, its basically a shed with electrics, its an odd shape too. The main issue I'm having is pooling. So when i resurface it with bitumin or something, it eventually leaks through again.
what us that material called which is applied on the roof
Felt
Wouldn't the boards need replacing ??
Well it depends doesn't it, in this case no otherwise we would have replaced them.
Why have you used 2 layers of venting the the mineral finish
We haven’t, one layer of 2mm, one layer of 4mm and then mineral finish.
Oh right video must have been to fast
A superb roof.@@qrsroofing
What would it cost to do this for the same garage set up
All depends on your area mate, where are you based?
Leicester
That roof will last at least 30 years.
Thank you.
no edge protection.
