Flat Roof Construction

Your new extension nearly all designed – so much extra space in the kitchen to enjoy or maybe you’re extending the living room into the garden with a classy conservatory. Perhaps you’ve decided to give the car a cosy dry garage to sleep in at night or reward yourself with the ultimate in garden sheds.

Making Your Mind Up

At Flat Roof Repair Dublin we are here to help. Even if you’re only at the wishful thinking stage, we’ll be more than happy to listen to what you have in mind and then give our recommendations for the ideal roof that perfectly matches your specification and budget.

Attention to Detail

We all know that failing to plan is planning to fail so we will advise you on all aspects of structural decking material, design and construction. Before we can install any roofing system the underlying deck must be safe, long-lasting and meet the appropriate building regulations.

We Do It All

We’ll take care of every detailing consideration such as ensuring rain water will run-off efficiently and that the gutters will be in the right place to catch it. If your extension is classed as a habitable part of your home such as a kitchen, bedroom or bathrooms your flat roof will need to be fully insulated with fire-safe insulation material. You’ll be warmer and your heating bills will be smaller. And if you want to let some glorious natural light in there’s an extensive range of rooflights just waiting to brighten up your life.

Getting Covered Up

So let’s think about what we’re going to cover you up with. There’s tried and tested bonded bituminous felt. Having been around for what seems forever the quality and performance of these membranes has improved tremendously over the years. Now known as Reinforced Bitumen Membranes or RBM they still remain a firm favourite for many residential applications.

PVC Roof

PVC is best suited to warm roof installations being laid directly onto the insulation material and mechanically fixed with a system of steel fasteners which is incredibly fast and efficient. Extremely durable and lightweight, they put little stress on your structure, and your lovely roofers, and are reassuringly resistant to fire.

Transform Your Roof

But it’s not just flat roofs that PVC can transform. Because it is so pliable and adaptable we can use it on sloped roofs as well as creating more complex designs such as convex, concave and even vertically pitched. We can also provide an enticing colourful choice too including the authentic look of lead, copper and zinc together with standing seams to complete a truly realistic effect. Your neighbours will never know the difference.

Wind Resistance

Apologies for stating the obvious, but all roof coverings and their insulation must be constructed to resist the invisible evil forces of wind and gales. The last thing you want to see in the morning is the top of your beautiful new extension flapping about like an uncontrollable deckchair. When you entrust your roof installation to the care of Flat Roof Repair Dublin our specialist roofing professionals will keep everything stuck down all good and proper.

And that’s it. A job very well done!
