Ok either I am
a) Insane
or
b) Insane
but I am currently looking at a horrendous bungalow thats up for sale with a flat roof.
As they say a picture speaks a thousand words...
The price matches the condition. The entire roof is f-ed to put it lightly. The interior walls are all plasterboard and the water has gotten in and long story short the whole place will need gutting.
Now rebuilding internal stud walls is easy enough, the question comes to the roofing.
As far as I can tell, for the most part the construction itself for the roof is nothing more than glorified decking with a few bonus features to add (a slight angle to allow water to run off, air gap, insulation etc). But the quotes to replace a full roof seem entirely disproportionate to what I consider the actual work to be given the basic materials.
So this leads me to the question, is this actually something that is in the realms of DIY? Or is it just not worth considering?
