No body could suggest repair of Askaris...the only remedy is to do it afresh.. |

Spray thick coat of hot bitumen ( asphalt ) when gets cold cover it with quality polythene sheet preferably double it. then spread 50mm sand with no stone so the polythene sheet and bitumen spray do not get damaged. now place Terrazzo (chips tile) with wet cement mortar sloping out side.
B. cast new chips floor with proper slop to sides.
Note Cement plaster or new concrete in slop will get creak and not a long term solution. |

@ RZ.
Thanks RZ for your detailed reply.
How much time will be required for 250 meter roof top ?
What will be the estimated cost ?
Will it need to shave off the previous structure of the roof or it can be done over the existing roof ?
Your worthy reply is awaited.
Thanks again |

Not necessarily but you must clean very well the surface with wire brush and remove all loose element before the application of bitumen. Make sure when you lay tiles there is good slop drawn either side.
Cure the tiles by showering water for 7 days so the mortar and grout get good strengthened.
This is little costly but will save keeping your roof cool as well. I am not sure cost wise but it should not take more then a week if you have well equipped workforce. |
