London Flat Roofing. 154c Fleet Road, Hampstead, London NW3 2QX
Having viewed most of your videos on your YouTube channel, I’m wondering if you cover the Portsmouth area for a small flat roof covering? I’m planning a 7m x 3m extension utilising a warm roof construction I think. The roof will also have a 3m x 1m roof light in it.
I currently have a flat roof extension for my bathroom and kitchen, this is how I bought the house, but it has no insulation and it leaks also. My walls are cavity on the extension but they are not insulated, my question is, would I be better fixing the roof with a warm roof or filling the walls with insulation?
Two things go to make a roof cheaper the cost of the materials and the labour to lay the materials. Gacoroof is not only cheaper to buy by 30% its also around 50% cheaper to lay as no primers and no embedment layer, two stages that just don’t have to be undertaken. So you may ask what’s the catch?
This old flat roof in Islington N1 was an old Asphalt roof, the old decking on he roof had sunk into the asphalt in some places in other places it had sunk because of the lack of solar reflective paint, mainly the roof was leaking because of the badly made flashing’s to the party walls.
As you can see when I went to look at this roof it was cold and snow was still around. Apart from the flashings being all over the place the roof looked quite flat, an easy one to overlay! If you look at the roof around the pipe in the center you can see that its cracked and the roof is actually leaking badly from this area, its very hard to get the old type felts to dress around details like the pipe.
Please can you give me a cost to replace the flat roofs in the photos I’ve sent, one is my roof and one is my neighbours.
This video will give you a quick look into how a RoofKrete roof is formed and laid by us at London Flat Roofing. Roof greet is a amazing roof material however it has its problems like all roofing materials.
I was doing a thermal imaging survey of a flat roof in London and look what I found on the pall of another property. You can see the chimney flues removing the hot air from inside the building. But what a great photo.
I’ve been studying the YouTube videos by Steve. I’m a pro now after doing my balcony with internal gutter. I have built a roof with 1 in 60 fall leading to an internal gutter. 18mm osb3 deck vapour barrier 100mm of Celotex with a 6mm ply under the rubber.
How things change! When I first started out as a roofer I had to hand write estimates and send them by snail post to my customers. Slowly emails took over and now its emails and a short video.
