Only when I have no money - now - am I a DIY enthusiast. So I hope someone can advise a rank amateur.
I have a garage - floor, walls and flat roof all in concrete. The roof has been covered in 'Isoflex' a rubberoid product from Ronseal. There are small cracks in the roof so I assume this was done to keep out the rain.
Bizarre as it may seem, the layout of the house - split level - means that it it easy to walk from the kitchen straight onto this garage roof and overlook the garden. BUT the Isoflex will not stand up to regular walking on and certainly not a table and chairs. I emailed Isoflex/Ronseal and was advised there is no surface you can put onto it.
This may be true but would it be completely daft to place small discs (made of what?) say 2cm thick onto the isoflex so that these can support in each corner concrete paving slabs with say, 5mm gaps in between the slabs so that the rain can run between the slabs onto the isoflex and away? I gather that if you put slabs direct onto the isoflex they will lift.
Or has anyone any other suggestion?
Hep would be much appreciated.
