A flat roof quote over the phone
If your flat roof is more than 10 years old and is made from traditional materials such as felt or asphalt, eventually the day will come when it’s time to upgrade the system for something more durable.
There is no way of predicting when replacement will be needed but as a general rule felt flat roofs last anywhere from 10 to 15 years. Although you might not have noticed a leak, felt will deteriorate quicker than its modern counterparts and is likely to suffer pooling, rips, tears and damp patches at some stage.
These are some of the early signs of failure. Unfortunately, most homeowners don’t know about them and only find out when it’s too late.
High Tech’s specialist flat roofing product, single-ply PVC membranes, has an excellent reputation in the building industry but its credibility has led to the misconception that it’s unaffordable to the average homeowner. This is completely untrue and many families are pleasantly surprised at the installation costs associated with single-ply PVC membranes compared to more traditional products.
And when you consider the long-term value for money they provide in terms of reduced maintenance and durability, it really is an economical decision.
We understand that flat roof problems can develop suddenly or take people by surprise. In light of this, we will provide our customers with an estimate over the phone based on the dimensions of the flat roof that they need to replace.
However, this figure is for guidance purposes only and a more detailed site survey will need to be undertaken to assess the work involved to provide an accurate price.
This site visit will determine whether the old roofing system needs to be removed prior to installation of the new one or whether the roof needs re-boarding – both of which is likely to increase costs.
Pricing will also depend to some extent on the accessibility of the building and the labour required.
Customers requesting quotes over the telephone will be advised that the estimate is purely for guidance purposes and is based on the dimensions presented. It will exclude any other work required to ensure the new installation will deliver the maximum lifespan advertised.
Here at High Tech, we have a minimum project value which is set at £800 which is the starting cost for a single ply PVC membrane roofing product for a porch-sized area.
