Flat roofs have traditionally been a sore subject for most householders; with increased insurance costs, the risk of leaks every 10 years and ongoing maintenance costs. Fortunately those days are gone. The modern flat roofing materials we use today are so efficient that they can be specified to last as long as 50 years.
Most traditional felt flat roofs will have been installed using built up layers of unreinforced 3b or 180 grade felt with hot bitumen between layers. This system can be efficient when installed correctly but will always need stone chippings or solar reflective coatings to protect from UV damage. This type of roof suffers with thermal movement and will eventually blister and crack. It is important to remember that a flat roof rarely leaks on the flat area but most commonly on the vulnerable areas such as drips, upstands, pipes and details.
At Roofline we offer a Modern high performance system for replacing flat roofs which can be tailored to your chosen specifications to achieve peace of mind and no more ongoing maintenance costs. We will offer you a tailored high performance system of reinforced membrane layers that, depending on your budget, will be guaranteed from 10 to 20 years with a life expectancy of more than 40 years. It is a good idea to have any flat roof coverings checked by a professional to ensure they are still watertight and not allowing moisture in, to cause damage to the decking beneath which will increase the cost of replacement.
