A flat roof is a great option for smaller structures such as extensions, porches, and garages. Often compact in design and recognised for the space-saving benefits it offers. In simple terms, it’s a flat base layer attached to the ceiling joists and covered with a waterproof skin.
Relatively quick and easy to install this is a cost-effective option for many property owners. The structure's simplicity will mean less labour is required to install the roof. This means that overall this type of roof can be installed much quicker than a pitched roof.
Compared to a pitched roof, the flat roof can often blend more easily into an existing property. It could be a good solution for you if you need planning regulations passed. Less obtrusive than a pitched roof, it could provide you with a better option all around.
The construction of a flat roof involves laying a base material over the roof decking. A waterproof layer is then applied. The integrity of this covering needs to be durable and flexible enough to withstand the fluctuations of our weather.
This type of roof is exposed in its entirety to the elements by the very fact it is flat. If the waterproofing is not durable your roof may shrink and tear. This will result in damage that will lead to leaking inside your property. At this point, you will need to spend more money to correct the roof.
A good quality flat roof is incredibly durable and will last for up to 50 years. Which is why it needs to be installed by a professional roofing company. At Favell Roofing we provide a guarantee of up to 20 years for all flat roofs we install. t
The maintenance of a flat roof is a lot easier. You can quickly look at the entire flat roof and see if there are any weak areas. If you see an issue, contact a professional and reputable roofing company is advisable. The added benefit is that it’s a relatively easy area to access and repair any damage that can be done promptly to ensure it doesn’t deteriorate any further.
Many property owners prefer a flat roof system because it can be easily accessed. This can make cleaning debris which has fallen from your guttering a simple activity. Cleaning the roof surface and any windows that overlook the area is also a straightforward job.
