The cheapest flat roof is not always the right option! Trust us we know…
There is a very good reason why the saying ‘In this world, you get what you pay for’ still resonates fifty years after it was written in Kurt Vonnegut’s ‘Cat’s Cradle’.
High-Tech Membrane Roofing is certainly not the cheapest option, but this is because our chosen maintenance free PVC Single-Ply Flat Roofing Systems are globally acclaimed, are installed by fully trained, licensed technicians and come with a lifetime guarantee . Our customers are safe in the knowledge that once they have had a membrane roof installed by us, they will never need to worry about their flat roof again.
For example, we were called only a week ago by a man who wanted a new roof installed. His story was very interesting – ten years ago, he and his next door neighbour both needed their flat roofs to be replaced. Having looked into the options, he chose to go with a cheaper, traditional felt flat roof, whilst his neighbour opted for the more expensive membrane alternative from High-Tech Membrane Roofing.
“It was all about price ,” he explained over the phone. “ A flat felt roof was much cheaper than the price quoted to my neighbour and I thought that paying more simply wasn’t worth what I’d be getting in return.”
Yet over the years, he has seen his roof slowly degrade as it has tried – and failed – to combat the elements. And his neighbour’s roof? “It still looks like new!” said the caller. “It’s really annoying because every time I go outside into the garden I see my cracked and blistered flat roof and right next door is the roof I want and should have bought in the first place!
“I can’t tell you how much I regret not going for a membrane roof ten years ago. I thought it was going to save me money when in reality, I’m now paying for two roofs instead of one .”
So you may be tempted to go for the ‘cheaper’ option but is it really going to save you money in the long run? Or are you going to end up like our customer who thought he was saving money but is actually going to end up paying more than his savvy neighbour?
