    Hi there,
    I'm looking for advice for a leaky garage roof. It's a brick garage with a corrugated steel roof. The only leak is where it joins my neighbour's part. It's not a major leak, it's just where the 2 roofs overlap. I was thinking of using a roll of self adhesive bitumen tape. Thoughts from all you experts please ??
    Cheers

    For a garage roof yes get the Bitumen tape its ideal.

    Make sure the area is very clean before applying and clear of dust/rust/ debris.

    Keep the tape in the hotpress overnight to warm it up makes it more pliable to apply. They dont need a torch to apply them, can assist in some cases though but its not needed

    Jeez Lister, that was quick - fair play to you. Thanks a million for that, brilliant tip about the hotpress. Cheers !
