Much better than a felt & easier to fit
Very easy to install, it took 2 of us just over an hour from start to finish. The old felt roof leaked quite badly and happy to report no problems with the new roof covering after quite a heavy rain storm.

Simple and effective
Much easier than felt to fit and looks better as its one piece. Easy to cut and fairly easy to remove bubbles. Instructions supplied for a pent roof but it's a little different for a single slope. We used a long piece of timber to stretch and anchor, working downwards. Wrapping it first to keep it tight and positioned for the adhesive.

Great technology.
Great product. Easier than felt and hopefully will last longer. I used a 9" roller on a pole to spread the glue. The black mastic holds the sides down but I needed staples for the folded corners.

Good product but was not a single piece
This is a really good product that was easy to install. The rubber sheet is strong and durable and there is plenty of adhesive. My only gripe is that the product is described as a single sheet but mine was two pieces that had been glued together.

Great product, Measure twice before buying, quick to fit, minimal waste.
The kit turned up on time and contents were as expected:Exactly 3.0m x 3.5m rubber sheet circa 1.0mm thickness. Two tubs of glue and a mini-roller. Disposable plastic gloves. A tube of sky guard mastic.After reading some online information, I decided to replace the polycarbonate sheets with plywood sheets as product is described as for bonding to wood. Laying out the rubber sheet on the roof revealed how exact the measurements were.Thankfully 25mm on either side for the conservatory is sufficient to drop into the drainage channels, it was a bit close!I ignored the mini-roller as it was ridiculously undersized for the area I am doing. Made use of an old large paint roller I have.Having spent time brushing the sheet flat and letting it relax as much as possible I applied the glue. There is sufficient for the area, with little to spare. I have some left over as I have an overhang of 0.3m x 3.5m which requires zero glue. Otherwise I think like others there would be an exact amount of glue. Minimal wastage is good for the environment. Brushed out air bubbles as best as I could, and it is hard to do on an area this size by yourself. Having to accept it is not perfect. The glue changes colour from white to a luminous violet in the sunshine and if you get it your hands it becomes impossible to handle anything as the tackiness starts to kick in. Recommend a decent throw away pair or two of disposable gloves. I did not use the thin plastic one which are supplied.The bulk of the job was done in a day, having to resort to use of ‘flashband’ product, purchase separately , at the point where the rubber meets the wall to achieve a waterproof seal.I find the product is easy to use, apply and relatively quick to fit compared to traditional felt roof product and it should last 40-50years.Superb stuff. Just measure twice before buying.Keep the leftover rubber and use it for other tasks.I have found several uses for it over the years, mainly hose pipe washers, tap washers, weather strips, draft excluder.After a recent severe storm of high winds and rain, there are zero leaks, no drips and no trickles of water on the inside of conservatory as there was once before.Job Done. Well Happy. 😃

Excellent product --but be careful with the glue
I have covered sheds with traditional roofing felt before, but this was first time of using EDPM (rubber roofing). It arrived tightly folded. I followed the instructions and laid it out flat. After a few minutes the creases and fold marks had disappeared and it was a perfectly flat sheet of rubber.Draped it over the shed, folded half back, and applied the water based glue with the supplied roller (wearing nitrile gloves). I was worried the glue would dry quickly before I could apply the rubber, but it seems I could do the whole half of the roof and then roll the rubber down. (actually it was easier to follow the advice of videos and do it in two or three stages.). And after laying down the rubber, I pulled the edges to remove any bulges or creases. This was easier than I expected. Without much effort the rubber went down as a nice flat sheet. A gentle pressing down on any airbubbles and the roof looked perfect. Repeated on the other half of the roof. The whole job took about an hour. I then took another hour or so to go around to fix edgeboards and trim off excess rubber (using scissors).Caution: The glue !!! It gets very sticky after a few minutes. I used several pairs of gloves because the fingers stuck together and pulling them apart ripped the (disposable) gloves. I got splashes on my skin, and despite scrubbing for ages with soap and water, the skin was still sticky for hours.And... the glue dissolved the handle of the supplied roller (for applying the glue). The handle was blue, and I saw streaks of blue appear in the glue, on my gloves, etc. Of course the gloves also stuck firmly to the handle :-) It was fun....Summary. Excellent product. I will use this for any future sheds. Much better than roofing felt (double the price). But take care with the glue.
