Types of Flat Roofing Installation: We Install
We can install a range of flat roofing material types, with each flat roofing material fitting into specific niches. Every roof surface we install in Cornwall is tailored to meet the client's needs right from the planning stage.
Some surface options are weaker against physical wear and tear, whilst others might suffer under UV or infrared light. Our team can guide you to whichever option is best for your situation, taking into account the kind of roof construction you are looking for.
Flat Felt Roofing Cornwall
Felt roofing uses two to three layers of bitumen sheets, lasting between 15 to 30 years when well maintained. While not especially tough, these are cost-effective materials that work well if you need to avoid any extra cost for new roofing systems.
Although felt can be weak, our team work hard to ensure that this flat roof replacement lasts as long as possible, even with its tendency to crack slightly as it ages.
As a flat roof material, felt layer systems are simple to install, making them a common choice for homeowners that need their old roofs replaced quickly.
Our team try to maximize the benefits of each flat roofing option we install, including felt. This means that we put a lot of effort into minimizing the flaws behind these weaker materials, trying to guarantee top performance from any materials that we work with.
Modified Bitumen Roofing Cornwall
Modified bitumen roofing systems use a flexible material made from asphalt and a mineral topcoat and can often be self-adhesive. These are incredibly easy for contractors like us to install and allow for a quick yet durable new roof installation that does not require a time-consuming installation process.
These bitumen roof options are very durable, but their fast installation still takes effort and skill that most DIY installations wo not be able to offer. It also needs to be installed carefully to prevent leaks around the edges of each roll, especially if a roll is not installed correctly on the roof itself.
Our bitumen flat roofs are installed carefully to take advantage of the material's main benefits, using all of our skills to simplify the installation process.
We work hard to guarantee that every flat roof is as high-quality as possible, especially when using materials like bitumen that can easily be installed poorly by somebody without the right experience.
EPDM Rubber Roofing Membrane Cornwall
An EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber membrane provides a very durable flat roofing option, with a good EPDM rubber membrane being hard to damage.
Most EPDM rubber roofing is also good at avoiding natural wear and tear from things like moss and can be cost-effective if the right rubber roofing options are chosen. It is also more waterproof than many other options, making it good for dealing with bad weather.
We provide effective EPDM rubber roofing installation, keeping the EPDM rubber membrane seamless to ensure maximum EPDM rubber roofing quality and minimal chance of leaks.
If EPDM rubber roofing ever suffers enough damage to cause long-term issues, our team are able to offer short-notice repairs.
EPDM rubber membrane materials are some of the most popular, and most homeowners gravitate towards EPDM membrane materials. Our team are expert at installing EPDM membrane flat roofs in a way that gets the most benefits out of the EPDM materials, as well as the membrane layer design.
Specific Roofing Materials Cornwall
Although flat roof material choices might not be as varied as other roof types, there are still a lot of options. Each new flat roof may have to choose between different kinds of EPDM rubber coating, with different commercial brands offering different benefits with each EPDM rubber membrane.
Our team can help you find the best suitable flat roof material for your new flat roofs, whether that is something highly resistant or something that can be set up quickly as a replacement roof to save time.
For example, EPDM roofing can come from many companies, and each may have its own specific types of EPDM rubber roofing. Our team can help you select the right EPDM roofing for your property and ensure that the new EPDM roof materials are installed to the right standard of quality and reliability.
Flat Roofing Repairs Cornwall
We can also offer repair options for a range of flat roofing types, helping clients repair their flat roofs easily. Each of our flat roof repair experts can conduct proper repairs to keep your flat roof in ideal condition, from asphalt bitumen to EPDM roofing.
Every roof wears down eventually, and we make sure that each new flat roof we construct is as highly resistant as possible. However, a built-up roof will eventually need repairs, something we can offer easily regardless of your flat roofing materials.
Flat Roof Maintenance
Our team can also provide flat roof repair services even when the flat roof is not directly damaged. Keeping your flat roof highly resistant and sturdy means maintaining it regularly, something we can do as part of our regular flat roof repair options.
Homeowners who maintain their flat roof installations avoid the price of replacing that flat roof regularly. Instead of paying for replacement flat roofing in the future, maintaining your existing flat roof can save money in both the short-term and long-term.
Our team have worked with every major flat roof material option, from EPDM rubber to hot tar, and understands how to keep them maintained. Maintaining your flat roofs ensures that you do not need to fix (or start replacing) those flat roofs later on whenever they finally break.
Flat Roofing Installation Cost Cornwall
The cost of a flat roof in the UK varies between £50 and £110 per square meter on average. Of course, this price varies based on a range of factors.
The price involved in getting flat roofs can be affected by things like:
The size of the flat roof that needs installing or replacing
The materials you choose for the new flat roof
Whether you are installing a new flat roof or adding a flat roof as a replacement for existing roofing (and whether the original flat roof needs to be removed)
Whether the new roof materials use a layer system and how long it takes to apply all layers
The time and effort required for installing the new roof
The complexity of the roof installation
Extra steps that are required to get the roof in ideal condition, such as having to replace plywood supports or the roof under-layer
Extra features such as insulation and heat-retention layers
How much does Flat Roofing Installation cost?
The exact cost of your new roof is not easy to estimate since each roof ends up at a different price. Even two roof projects of the same general size and material might cost different amounts since both flat roofs will still need different approaches.
Our team help our clients understand the costs behind their flat roofs, providing accurate cost estimates for each flat roof project before we even begin planning out the flat roofs.
This allows clients to adapt their choices to find flat roofs that fit within their own comfortable budget rather than being pressured into choosing flat roofs that they can't afford.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you install a flat roof yourself?
DIY flat roof installation is possible, but attempting DIY flat roof work is also tough.
A DIY project often results in worse material installation quality than a non-DIY flat roof would offer, and poor DIY flat roof attempts might even damage the roofs themselves.
While you can still do DIY flat roof maintenance in some situations, it is best to avoid DIY flat roof installation and use professionals like us instead. This also goes for DIY flat roof replacing, which can be even more complex than installation.
How much should a new flat roof cost?
The exact costs involved in getting a new flat roof are hard to judge. Our team can help you estimate the costs with an accurate price quote based on your roof plans.
A full project tends to take anywhere between £2,000 to £6,000 to complete, although these are only estimates. A project replacing an existing roof or adding new roofs could be much higher or lower, depending on the specifics.
How much does a flat roof cost per m2 UK?
The average cost of flat roofs in the UK per meter squared is around £50 to £110.
This is because flat roofs can vary so heavily that there is no single set price. Different roofs cost different amounts, and the project itself might alter how much you are paying.
A roof that is half as large as another will not necessarily cost half as much, either. Cost varies in so many ways that estimating is difficult, but our team can give you an accurate price quote based on your overall plan and real data from within the industry.
What is the best way to roof a flat roof?
While DIY flat roof options might sound appealing, working with professionals like us is the easiest way to get a flat roof that actually meets your needs.
While it might sound easy to replace existing rubber EPDM roofs with new rubber EPDM roofs on a residential home, doing it yourself can be risky.
Not only does this risk things like poor heat retention and sunlight or infrared light damage, but working with materials like EPDM rubber can be incredibly difficult without the right tools.
Is EPDM the best flat roof material?
EPDM is one of the most popular flat roofing materials on the market. More than half of customers usually aim for EPDM due to its lower cost and durability, although there are still materials more durable than EPDM.
EPDM is also very waterproof, allowing it to keep the roof from leaking more effectively. However, if maintained poorly, EPDM can shrink or suffer punctures and seam failures.
Like any material, it is the right option for some roofs but not for others. Our team can help you find the material choices that make the most sense for your project.
