Hello we extended our existing flat roof with an overhang round the house which we had a roofer do which was fine. unfortuneately my neighbour has put up an eyesore in my view so i just want to extend it a little, a small1600 by 850mm addition. I wondered if i could do it some way myself as i cant get anyone to come and do such a small it. I obviously i cant torch but can i stick? If so how and what? Could i overlap existing new felt? Any advice welcome, it is not over the house so leak although not wanted not terminal.

Got a photo or two? And maybe some English too.
i apologise if im not clear enough. Pictures wouldnt help as i haven built the timber extension to the over hang yet. Basically we have an existing felt roof over an extension which has an overhang beyond the extension of some 900mm. I havent put on the sofit and fascia yet and want to take this opportunity to build out an additional small area, i would need to felt this small area and overlap onto existing roof. Can i do it myself, if so what would i use to do it and how?
Your roof already overhangs the structure by 900mm and you want to extend it further?
It will require support/restraint.

I think you need to translate that bit!
With pictures and maybe a diagram..
Your question seems quite clear to me - if you extend your flat roof, how do you stick the new felt onto the existing felt?
Sorry I don't know the answer!
I do have a couple of questions though:
-where and how does the existing flat roof drain?
-if you already have enough overhang, and the new piece of flat roof is essentially cosmetic, would it work to have a small gap between them and felt the extension piece separately?
