Re: Prefab Chimney Not Leaking yet but......

First thing would be to check the flashing about the bottom of the chimney. Might be old or just not there at all, if needed check out lead replacement flashing, lighter and easier to install that lead or other flashings products.

Re: Repairs to the Felt and the Roof of Loft Area

You roof felt will definitely be waterproof, It allows vapours through but not water. The holes appearing is unusual unless its very old felt. To use an adhesive wont work, This butyl tape is the sort of thing you need as it has the same qualities as the felt

Re: Very Small Roofing Project for Small Concrete Shed

Ideally if you can get a timber frame the best option I can think of is Lightweight roof tiles. They don't need a strong structure and look great, just like real tiles.

EPDM Seam Tape is definitely the best to use.

Re: Opinions on EPDM Membrane Roofing Work

No this looks terrible. Looks like he should have smoothed the surface before laying and then used Lead Alternative for the flashing
