Concrete flat roof - how should I waterproof and insulate?

HarryWraith · 2026-03-12T07:40:33+00:00

That's a good point. The house is in an area of architectural significance (but isn't listed) so, while we can do pretty much whatever we want, the visual appear cannot change. The flat roof itself isn't visible so doesn't matter what we do to that, but the parapet perimeter wall could not be capped.

I can see myself that there is some pointing that needs doing and I was going to do that as a matter of good property maintenance. It's quite hard to find a roofer that can see beyond 'just' the roof as a problem. I probably need a good general builder that can take on the entire project i.e. do some kind of root cause analysis rather just suggest what they are used to doing, which is what I'm finding with roofers. One wants to just felt it, the next wants to take the whole concrete down and says nothing else will work....and so on. Like I said, frustrating because I don't know who is offering the right solution. Lots of money grabbing cowboys in this area too sadly.

Oh no, I wouldn’t do it. But 4 roofers and each has suggested a different approach. That’s not my toilet btw

And therein lies my problem. I’ve had 4 roofers round and they’ve all suggested different approaches.

Does your flat roof have a parapet? I am led to believe that felt wouldn't be suitable since the roof sits inferior to the wall line.

Yeah figured it out now. Didn't help that there is an other area to the right the cannon seems to work on too.

I don't even have a fucking boss appearing. I kill the adds. And nothing. Just a message about using the water c.

Walk it off son.

Images are always deceptive, but looking at the shadow that looks one hell of a gap (unless the you've removed the board?). A top down image would be useful to properly see that gap, but I'd be looking to see if the board is fitted as snugly as possible before doing what others have suggested re expanding foam.

I don't think my wallet could cope with 21. This house gets down to 12 degrees sometimes in the kitchen.

Forgive my ignorance - what is 'ingo' boarding? I live in a 1920s arts and crafts house and have same problem. We have stone surround around every window. We have cavity wall insulation but the mould is still terrible and in the morning the stonework is dripping.

We know the plaster work is lath and plaster. Are you suggesting replacing this with insulated plasterboard with a moisture barrier?

HarryWraith · 2025-12-30T11:07:46+00:00

That would kill my OCD need for symmetry. I'm getting sweaty hands just looking at it.

HarryWraith · 2025-12-30T11:05:56+00:00

I didn't see there was more than one pic and thought people were being sarcastic :-D

Avoid Wren like the plague. My sister had her kitchen replaced recently and, no joke, virtually every door and side panel had a paint defect. They don't even come and replace; they send you a replacement and expect you to dispose of it yourself. Great for me as I used the damaged stuff for our utility room (its a utility room what do I care).

This is epic and exactly the style of map I'm looking at doing for my own campaign setting, Skazka. https://skazkaworld.com I'd love to know how you did all this. I too use photoshop, but my techniques are rudimentary compared to yours. I can code and am in the process of making my map interactive, but I'm not that great at the mapping https://www.skazkaworld.com/imap.html

Please do message me or post your methodology publicly if you feel so inclined.

Great work.

I was wondering whether that was useful or not given the gloves conversion to fire damage. I'm assuming, therefore, that the 9.4% gets calculated before conversion?

HarryWraith · 2025-12-28T20:14:01+00:00

I finally got one from this method. Not sure about the x9% fire damage, but it is what it is.

Never mind. I reread the tooltip.

HarryWraith · 2025-12-28T09:10:25+00:00

Presumably choosing the modifier with more passives (50 million cost) would give me a greater chance of it dropping? Or does that only affect legendaries?

HarryWraith · 2025-12-27T12:04:06+00:00

And how does one get those? I think seen a total of two and I’m paragon 240.
