refelting assistance for fittingt suntube

[darceybutton]

Dear All - please can you assist. I have a flat roof (hot torched felt - i think - top surface of felt is silver in colour almost looks like lead), into which i want to insert a suntube (12" diameter). As the flat roof was only replaced 5 yrs ago my thoughts are that i could fit the sun tube by dressing over it and the existing felt. I am keen to learn what the existing felt is (I have a digital image but cannot attach to this thread) so that i can match it up OER i thought i coudl dress it with lead, using lead adhesive.

Any ideas? THANKS

I have now uploaded 2 images of the flat roof felt in question - they are in my album and accessible to all.

THANKS

With the suntube you should get an ABS flashing base. This sits on the roof, felt the base flange after priming, and drop the tube in.

Many thanks for your response. What I am really keen to know is what the existing roof felt is so that the new dressing will match with the old.

Its solaflect on underlay. Warm it and scrape a clean patch, any torch on will bond to it.
