What is a flat roof?
A flat roof is a roof which has a pitch of no greater than 10 degrees. Generally, flat roofs are constructed from timber joists, which are overlaid with a flat timber decking such as plywood. Insulation can then be glued or screwed down to the decking and then overlaid with felt, rubber or PVC membrane. Flat roofs can also be constructed from either pre-cast or cast in situ concrete decks, which are overlaid with asphalt, gravel of felt. At Roofers Manchester, we can carry out core samples of your flat roof build up to determine the right solution for repair or replacement. Flat roofs are also suitable for solar panel installers to work on!

Is your flat roof due for replacement?
Our Manchester Roofers are experts when it comes to repairing and replacing flat roofs. We work with all different materials to find the best solution for you!
Why choose a flat roof?
Flat roofs are generally cheaper to install, maintain and repair than pitched roofs. They also tend to provide greater thermal efficiency and versatility than pitched roofs, which makes them a great option to consider.
A properly installed flat roof should achieve a minimum U-Value of 0.18 according to the latest revisions of the building regulations, therefore, insulation forms a vital part of the functioning of your flat roof. When installed correctly, your flat roof should provide protection against water ingress and the built-up roof system should enable water to run off your roof and into the gutters.
Flat roofs require less space and subsequently less materials than pitched roofs and this is what makes them hugely popular for extension and garage roofs. Flat roofs can also be used to grow plants and house building maintenance equipment. This makes them very popular for commercial buildings where sustainability and storage is of paramount importance.
When designing and installing a flat roof, it is important to consider the right materials, insulation, and falls. Contact our Manchester flat roofing experts today for guidance on the construction of your flat roof! We will talk you through the pros and cons of each flat roof material, and also discuss options for converting your existing flat roof into a sloping roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How much does a new flat roof in Manchester cost?
On average, a small flat roof replacement on a garage or extension will cost in the region of £1500-£2000. However, the cost of your roof replacement will depend on the amount of preparation work required. For example, if your flat roof requires a new structural deck, or replacement of structural joists, then the price will naturally rise. The size of your roof and the required specification will also impact the cost, as will material prices. For an accurate estimate, we say it is best to contact our roofers in Manchester who will be able to arrange to view your roof.
-
What is a cut to falls flat roof?
A cut to falls flat roof is a roof that is tapered in height to create a natural gradient for water to run off into the gutters. A cut to fall system utilises different thicknesses of insulation to generate a gradient and the slope should be no less than 1:80. This means there should be 1 unit change in height, for every 80 units of length. A cut to fall flat roof should still achieve an average of U-Value 0.18 across its surface and an example how this may be achieved is with an insulation of 300mm thickness at the apex and 150mm thickness at the low point of the roof.
-
How long does a flat roof replacement take?
In fair weather conditions, a small flat roof replacement can be carried out in 1 – 2 days. Keep in mind that the time required to complete your flat roof replacement will depend on the size and complexity of the job and any additional work that is required. If structural alterations are necessary, then it may take up to a week to get you flat roof completed. The access arrangements will also dictate the length of time necessary for completion. A single storey extension that can be accessed from a ladder, require less time than a medium rise office block that requires scaffolding to all 4 sides.
