DECKING. We suggest checking current position with Building Control but up till now decking requirements have been:- 18mm (3/4") roofing grade plywood or OSB (Oriented Strand Board) grade 3 or 4 all conforming to BS 5268 (Structural Grade) or insulation panels. If the existing surface is felt and poor it can be covered with say 6mm plywood and in all cases sharps must be removed, but often a complete strip of felt, or felt and boards may be advisable. Please remember winds cause updrafts and can lift roofs so they must be securely fastened down. Also if a building is new and is within 6m of the boundary then 16-32mm shore or river washed pebbles may have to be applied over the rubber to comply with Building Regulations.
