Flat roofs on garages and single storey extensions were commonplace but over time these flat roofs often develop leaks causing water to enter the garage or extension, but a relatively new product is proving to be a game-changer for flat roofs.
The cheapest option for a flat roof is to have a felted roof as the materials are cheap and are easily found however the expected life span of a felted flat roof is between five and ten years so the likelihood is that it will not last, so many people are choosing rubber roofing as this will last approximately fifty years and is not affected by the elements such as UV rays, rain and frost.
The materials to install a rubber roof can be purchased easily from many suppliers and installing a rubber roof covering can be done by any competent person who is able to work at height, but it is easier if two people can work on the project together as the materials are heavy to lift.
Professional roofing companies can be employed to fit a rubber roof which may be the best option in some cases. Even though it will be more expensive most companies will offer a warranty should anything go wrong with the roof in the future.
