If you need flat roofing replaced on your home or business premise, you may be wondering if you will have to spend a lot of money to get a roof that won’t last much longer than your current one and will look little better. If that’s the case, you could be in for a pleasant surprise. Even if you opt for a conventional roofing felt replacement, you can be assured that the new felt will be a high performance bitumen membrane which, properly laid and sealed, should look neat and last at least twenty years.

If you want to avoid seams, a single sheet of rubber might do the trick cheaply but tends to be less long-lasting. However you can avoid joins, get increased durability and have your new flat roof in a colour that matches the rest of the building if you choose GRP laminate. This reinforced, polyester resin is applied as a liquid to wooden decking and should be good for thirty years or more. It is also excellent for irregularly shaped roofs and ideal for new extensions.

If you are one of the many people having a conservatory fitted, don’t rule out a flat roof. Elegant glass roofs can turn your room into a hot house in summer and a fridge in the winter. Putting a flat roof on to a simple, ground floor extension can give you a lovely garden room, study or playroom which is comfortable all year round. If the structure will take the load, you may even be able to turn the roof into a balcony for a bedroom above. Flat roofs can also be transformed into roof gardens or grassed to produce an ecologically friendly, living roof.

Whatever your need, whether it be for a health check on your existing flat roof, repairs or a complete new roof,  you need to start by contacting an experienced roofer. They can give you up to the minute advice about what roofing systems might best suit your needs together with quotes. They will also do the work needed safely and efficiently. As many have found when attempting a DIY solution, it is more difficult than it looks to lay flat roofing properly, add insulation where necessary and avoid condensation, all without accident. The best way to get a roof that lasts and won’t require costly intervention in the future, is to ensure that it is well laid in the first place and you get a BBA ( British Board of Agrément) certificate.
