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?

Can you put solar panels on a flat roof?
