Invest in a new flat roof
New roof equals better energy efficiency, lower heating costs and a great investment
Did you know that the average home in the UK could save close to £300 per year by becoming more energy efficient? Windows, doors, walls, heating, hot water, washing machines, dishwashers, lighting… just the smallest changes to our habits can make a massive difference to our bills and the amount of CO2 we produce. For example, reducing your thermostat by just 1°C can reduce your heating bills by up to 10%!
You’ve probably also heard a lot about cavity wall and roof insulation. After all, 33% of wasted heat is lost through the walls, with a further 27% escaping through the roof. However, ultimately, no amount of insulation and turning down of thermostats is going to help if your flat roof is no longer up to the job of protecting your home from the elements.
A blistered and cracked felt roof can end up with movement that puts strain on the vulnerable parts of the roofing system, such as upstands, the edge trims and points around skylights and pipes. If left unchecked, water can slowly leak through those cracks, causing untold damage to the underdecking and timber joists. And the frightening thing is that this damage can be done long before you notice a leak. After all, the first you’ll know about any problem is when the water makes an appearance through the walls or ceiling, by which time, you have hundreds – if not thousands – of pounds worth of unseen destruction. Wet, mouldy insulation certainly won’t be helping your home become more thermally efficient!
