Flat Roofs

Flat Roofs in Chipping Norton & Oxfordshire

Flat roofs get a bad name from the ones that were laid badly. A flat roof that was built with a fall, finished with a proper drip and trim at the edges and detailed correctly at the upstand will last for decades. One that ponds water in the middle and has felt turned up against a wall with no flashing will not see five winters.

We take the old covering off, check and replace the deck where it has softened, build the fall back in where there is none, and lay the new covering with the edges and upstands detailed properly. Extensions, dormers, garages, porches and bay roofs are all the same job at different sizes.

Common problems

What usually goes wrong

Water standing in the middle

No fall, so every rain leaves a pond that works at the joints.

How we handle itThe fall is built back into the deck before the covering goes on.

The edges left to curl

Felt dressed over a bare edge lifts in the first winter gale.

How we handle itProper drip and edge trims all the way round.

Patching over a soft deck

A new covering on rotten boards fails from underneath.

How we handle itThe deck is checked once it is open and replaced where it has gone.

FAQ

Flat Roofs: questions

How long should a flat roof last?

A properly laid one with a fall and the right details should give you decades. The ones that fail early nearly always failed at the edges or the upstand.

Can you re-cover a dormer?

Yes. Dormers, bays and porches are the same job as a garage roof, just smaller and usually more awkward.
