What is a flat roof?

A flat roof is a type of roof with a minimal slope (usually less than 10°) that allows for easy installation of waterproof materials. Common in modern homes and commercial buildings, they offer practical benefits such as extra space for solar panels or roof terraces. 

How long does a flat roof last?

  • GRP fibreglass/liquid roofs last 20-30 years 
  • Felt roofs last 20-30 years 
  • PVC/single-ply roofs last 20-30 years 

Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the life of your roof. 

How to fix a flat roof?

If the crack or leak is minor, a sealant or patch can work. However, to prevent further damage, it’s best to consult a professional roofer for significant damage, such as leaks, ponding water, or membrane issues. 

How to insulate a flat roof?

Commercial roof insulation can either be installed above the roof deck (warm roof) or below (cold roof). A warm roof is popular in the UK for better energy efficiency. Warm roof insulation boards are placed above the roof deck, reducing heat loss and condensation risk. 

What is the best material for a flat roof in the UK?

The best roofing material depends on your needs: 

  • Felt roofing – Waterproof protection, cost-effective and easy to maintain. 
  • Liquid roofing – Seamless waterproofing, cost-effective and adaptable to different roof types 
  • Single Ply – Lightweight, easy to install, and high resistance to weathering. 

Can you put solar panels on a flat roof?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on a flat roof using special mounting frames that angle them towards the sun for maximum efficiency. This setup allows for optimal energy production and easy maintenance. Installing solar panels can help lower energy costs, improve sustainability and enhance property value.
