Everything You Need to Know About Flat Roofs

Flat roofs are an extremely popular choice for garages, homes, extensions, above dormer windows, on industrial properties and much more. Flat roofs are very different to sloping roofs and as such must be treated as so.

Flat roofs are usually made up of 16 components which all serve different purposes and are crucial to the overall integrity of the roof. One of the most important things that all flat roofs must have is what is known as a ‘fall’. The fall is the thing which allows the roof to shed rainwater. The fall must be a specific measurement according to what material the roof is constructed out of and this avoids standing water forming on a flat roof, which is one of the most common causes of leaks.

Why You Need A Flat Roofing Expert

Flat roofs are very different to normal sloping roofs and as such the materials and techniques used on them are completely different. That’s why it’s important to hire a flat roofing expert for your project to ensure the very best results. Often, normal roofers aren’t experienced at working with flat roofs and this is where problems can occur.

When considering flat roof construction, it’s important to spend time thinking about the different types of flat roof coverings and their properties for each individual project. An experienced flat roofer will consider all aspects that contribute to a flat roof individually on every project – whether it’s domestic or commercial flat roofing and whether the project is large or small.

Fault-Finding on A Flat Roof

Fault-finding (locating the source of a leak) on a flat roof can be incredibly difficult and thus is best left to an expert company, such as ours. Water tends to flow to the weakest point and can eventually make its way inside your property causing damage and inconvenience in your home or place of business.

Each of the projects we complete comes with a 10 or 20 year guarantee, so you won’t need to worry about repair and maintenance during this period. You’ll benefit from our fully insured, hassle free flat roofing service and long-lasting solutions. We ensure that all our projects are built and maintained to the very highest of standards.

It’s also important to consider the other elements that support and ensure a flat roof does its job correctly and your property remains secure and water-tight. This includes roofline products, such as fascias, guttering, soffits and more. These finishing touches support the overall integrity of a flat roof and, as such, damaged or worn roofline products should be replaced in order to avoid your roof leaking.
