  • I was going to bond the frame to the roof using Black Jack roof cement.

    That looks more like it's for repairs like a bitumen in a tin, rather than a fixing / bonding compound.

    To stop the thing wandering off (theft / in the wind) you'll need to fix it to something mechanically. You could create upstands then bolt them to the existing the roof surface (possibly ply over a wood structure), then fix the frame in to those. Could just be a block of treated or hardwood wrapped in roofing felt. That cement would be useful to seal it, both to the existing roof surface and where you bolt something to it.

  • I'm just very wary of compromising the membrane, hence thinking of bonding to it.

    However, the external wall does continue above the level of the roof, so I could drill into that to fix the frame, then waterproof the holes using some sort of sealant.
