The lifespan of new roofs will vary depending on the system or service that you choose which is usually dependant on the clients' budget for the project, our guarantees vary from 10-20 years but all of our systems will far outlive their warranty.

Flat roofing materials have come a long way in the last 20 years, traditionally built-up felt roofing was considered the best flat roofing material but with new modern technology we now have an array of superior materials to choose from.

Each system is different and after an initial assessment of your roof by a member of our team we will advise you on which system we think is the right choice for your flat roof.

The 4 best flat roofing materials are:

• Fibreglass (guaranteed for 20 years)

• Single ply (guaranteed for 20 years)

• EPDM Rubber (guaranteed for 20 years)

• Torch on felt (guaranteed for 15 years)

Fibreglass is one of the best flat roof materials on the market, the finished product is sleek in appearance and colour 

and its robust and durable properties make it an ideal choice for a flat roof.

However, there are many companies carrying out fibreglass flat roof replacements without the experience or knowhow resulting in a poor installation, if a fibreglass flat roof is poorly installed it can result in a process called thermal expansion which can make the fibreglass crack open and allow water ingress. This is usually a result of no gaps being left between the boards and perimeter edges and also the installer not understanding the correct ventilation for the specific flat roof.

We have been installing fibreglass flat roofs for almost 20 years so rest assured that you will be in good hands if you choose us for your fibreglass flat roof installation.

There are many ways to determine whether or not you need to have your roof replaced, many roofs suffering with leaks can be repaired for a relatively low cost but of course every roof has an expiration date and eventually will need a full replacement.

Below we have listed a few signs that your roof may need to be replaced.

• Broken or missing tiles 

• Rotten battens

• Tears and/or splits in the felt membrane

• Continuous roof leaks

• Damp patches on your ceiling

• Dips in the roof

• Missing mortar on ridges, hips, gable ends or other roof details.

• Light pollution in the loft

When it comes to choosing the right tile for your roof there are many options available all of which vary in material, price, colour, shape, life expectancy and more.

The most popular tile choices in the UK are:

• Clay plain tiles

• Concrete plain tiles

• Concrete interlocking tiles

• Natural slates

• Artificial slates

After an initial assessment of your roof by a member of our team we will discuss all options with you and help ensure that you make the right choice.
