flat roof laying technique …advice please ???.

[Bwr2]

Looking for advice please.

I have a kitchen extension with a flat roof, which was in poor condition and needed to be redone.

I opted to go for the traditional torched on felt method, and it was done yesterday.

The guys seemed to do a really good job, but there is one thing that is worrying me and I’m wondering if any roofers are here who can advise me.

It concerns the edge.

I would have expected the felt to go to the edge and then the actual edging to be laid over the felt.

Instead, on mine, the edging is laid (ie up and over the edge) and the felt sits on top, stopping about 3 inches from the actual edge.

I’ve spoken to two roofers and a roofing supply company this morning. They all say this is “ not good”, to put it mildly !!!

however, I’ve now spoken to the guy who did the job who says it is fine, with nothing wrong with doing it that way, and it will not be an issue .

any thoughts.
thanks

Thanks

Doesn't look good to me .
The idea is correct , drips then capsheet .
The big issue here is that cap sheet looks like a 2mm possibly underlay .. of course it's a photo so difficult to tell . But It looks like a poor diy job.
They can't be felt roofers .
As the saying goes , no bleed no guarantee .

Thanks for input.

No, not a DIY. A “proper“ Roofing company.

2 layers of 3mm felt.
im calling it felt as I dont know proper name.
came in rolls. Black on top , sticky/ tar like material underneath, which they heated with gas burner. Then painted silver at end.
