Are You Making The Right Decision?
Flat roofs in the UK do not have a great reputation and they are best known for leaking, sagging and rotting. This reputation can be mostly attributed to poor design and construction rather than poor material choice or application.
Many flat roof problems occur because the flat roof decking is actually too flat. There needs to be a sufficient fall or slope in the roof to allow rainwater to run off without puddling. Most flat roofs are built using timber joists which if not installed correctly can sag allowing water to stand and in time cause problems.
Traditional Flat Roofing
Traditional roofing “felt” is actually a bitumen compound reinforced with hessian or some other fibre. Roofing felt is available in many forms with varying cost and quality, often an unsuitable grade of felt will be used to keep costs down or through a simple lack of knowledge.
Flat roofs need to perform several functions which include; structural support, keeping water out and retaining heat.
Suitable ventilation and correct positioning of roof insulation are vital in avoiding condensation within the roof space and in the room below. The least damaging effect could be a spot of mould on the ceiling although this is a sure sign of condensation within the roof space and on the timber roof joists which untreated can become rotten and dangerous.
GRP Roofing Options
In recent years fibreglass is otherwise known as GRP has become an increasingly popular method of re-covering flats roofs due to longer lifetime guarantees and a neat and tidy finish.
