    what is the average cost to replace a flat roof?

    What Is The Average Cost To Replace A Flat Roof?

    Are you interested in knowing how much it costs to replace a flat roof? Here, you’ll discover a price breakdown for replacing flat roof. This includes a number of price determining factors such as materials costs as well as cost of labour and cost per square metre. All these enables you to make easy calculations so that you can determine a flat roof replacement estimate for your own project.

    The type of flat roof that is the most common type is the garage roof and for the replacement of a single garage roof, the cost will fall between the range of £700 to £1000. Meanwhile for a double garage, you should expect a price increase of about 40 percent to 50 percent. The main price determinant that’s affecting the price of a new flat roof is the material incorporated in making it. For instance, lead or fibreglass are much more expensive when compared to felt roofs.

    Generally, the cost of a flat roof replacement will fall within the range of £700 to £1300 varying largely due to the type of materials to be used by the roofer, the roof’s size as well as whether or not scaffolding would be used. Multiple flat roof applications also comes with different costs which includes:

    • Felt roof ( £40 to £60 per square metre).

    • Fibreglass roof ( £70to £90 per square metre ).

    • Rubber roof ( £80 to £85 per square metre ).

    • Lead bay roof ( £90 to £105 per square metre ).

    • Fibreglass bay roof ( £40 to £60 per square metre ).

    Several professional roofers work in pairs and to hire them you’re likely to be charged between £200 to £300 per day. The project can be completed with just a day’s work, but the installer should be back to make sure there are no leaks.

    how to replace a flat roof?

    How To Replace A Flat Roof

    Is it high time you replaced your flat roof with a new one? If it’s time, then you probably shouldn’t waste another minute! Flat roofs come with multiple upsides and happens to be a lot more affordable than many other options (especially for starters). Not only do they add to your home’s curb appeal and requires a relatively low labour costs as there are minimal risks involved, but they’re also more accessible for maintenance purposes and aren’t as exposed to damage as a pitched roof. However, we’re not here to discuss the various benefits of installing a flat roof, but rather tell you how to install one. If you lack proper training and experience, we’d recommend you hire a trustworthy professional that can guarantee the best results.

    • Wipe the entire roof system clean.

    • Detach and replace rotted roof sheathings.

    • Detach and replace rotted fascia

    • Hire a qualified air conditioning professional to disconnect the existing AC units.

    • Introduce new aluminium air conditioning stands and secure against the deck.

    • Let you qualified air conditioning professional reconnect the existing AC units.

    • Put in place the new air conditioning quick disconnects.

    • Attach EPS fanfold insulation in such a way to cover the surface of the entire roof and secure it firmly in place.

    • Attach the tie-in roof materials where necessary.

    • Attach roofing membrane to cover the entire area of the roofing.

    • Attach membrane to the entire roof’s perimeter.

    • Attach new perimeter flashings (fascia bar, fascia cap and drip edge), secured on the centre at 6. Make use of a good sealant to secure the fascia bar or fascia cap’s top flange.

    • Attach boots on plumbing seal and stacks.

    • Identify the existing vent stacks and seal, and put curbs

    • Put safety walk pad network from the access point of the roof to the air conditioning units.

    • Attach rooftop signs for roof traffic personnel

    • Tidy up and clear out the debris

    What is overlaying?

    If your existing roof is still in good condition but the membrane is getting old, it’s often not worth exposing the structure to the weather whilst the contractor strips off the old membranes. The contractor will leave them in place to act as a base layer for a new roofing system. As long as there are no other problems with your roof, then overlaying is a good way to replace your flat roof.If you have any more questions about flat roofing that aren’t listed here, fill out our form to ask a contractor.

    How long should a flat roof last?

    It depends on the material you use, but if your flat roof is installed correctly it should last for at least 10 years, and at least 20 if a material other than felt is used. Always question a roofing company when they quote to find out what materials they use and what guarantee's they offer.
