We know that when it comes to a flat roof extension or choosing the materials to repair an existing flat roof it can become complicated. That’s why we’ve worked with the UK’s leading flat roofing specialists such as Scott Bader, Acrypol, and Klober to develop a range of materials you’ll need to complete your project at great prices.
Whether you’re installing a new flat roof extension or carrying out a flat roof repair, we have created an extensive range of quality products to suit all your needs. Flat roofing is a popular choice in the UK because it’s often a more simple and more cost-effective solution than traditional pitched roofs.
Benefits of flat roofing:
- Quicker installation
- Easy maintenance
- Affordable
- Energy-efficient
- Lower construction and repair costs
- Versatility
How long do flat roofs last?
This depends on how well you maintain it, the quality of installation, and the products used. The materials used play a big part in flat roof longevity – lightweight single-ply roofing can last for up to 20 to 25 years.
A flat roof that experiences extreme temperature fluctuations, high winds, and heavy rain may not last as long as the same roofing material in a different climate.
What is the cheapest material for a flat roof?
The ideal material depends on many different things like the strongest material and ease of installation, however, the cost is also an important factor. While roofing felt is the cheapest flat roof material, when performance is factored in, ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) membranes are a cost-effective purchase.
Is a flat roof a good idea?
Flat roofs are an ideal choice for small structures such as extensions, shed roof repairs, garages, flat roof conservatories, or outbuildings. Flat roof construction is simple, quick, and often cheaper to install than more traditional pitched roofs and provides instant protection against water ingress, moisture, and insects.
However, as the materials used become more sophisticated, flat roofs can also be found in more industrial, large-scale applications. It doesn’t matter if you’re repairing a flat roofing leak or undertaking a whole flat roof replacement, we’ve got you covered.
