Welcome to DIY Roofing Guide
DIY Roofing Guide was set up to allow people free access to the best information and
products in flat roofing and associated products and methods. It has expanded to take in other aspects of
pitched roofs, rainwater goods and lead work. This site will hopefully continue to grow with
help from yourself and our sponsors. Please feel free to e-mail any
experiences you may have had or tips you would like to share, or anything you think could help others with
their roofing projects and we shall publish them on the site. The site covers Roofing materials such as EPDM,
Fibreglass, Acrylic Resin, Liquid EPDM, Cedar Shingles, and felt as well as
information on Green roofs a popular option with today's climate issues.
There are also DIY sections for Guttering which contains Installing,
Repairing, Unblocking, Re-aligning, Taping. A very comprehensive section on
lead work, which includes Overview and Tools, Clips and Clipping, Cover
Flashings, Valleys Ridges and Hip, and even Window flashings, there are of
course many more DIY sections as well as a very useful Help section so
please feel free to explore this sight and make use of the information
within.
The information contained within these pages is either from our sponsors, or freely available on the web. Every effort is taken to make sure that the information is correct, and where borrowed from other sites links to that site are placed within the text or at the bottom of the page. Warning & disclaimer :- Any information is given in good faith and is based on manufacturers data, our own experience and that of visitors like yourself pooling information and is considered best practice but we cannot be held responsible for over or under estimates of materials or technical or regulatory advice as we cannot be aware of all the facts concerning a given roof or construction. If in doubt ask and/or try the proposed method or system on a sample patch and test it out in an unimportant area or on a simulated unit. These materials are very versatile in application and these notes cannot hope to be fully comprehensive and being a progressive site we reserve the right to alter specs or methods without notice.
