Frequently Asked Flat Roof Repair Questions

  • What are the most common flat roof repairs in Lancaster?

    Generally speaking for flat roofs it will be aging of the existing flat roof material which has weathered to such an extent it is degrading, cracking or pulling up from its base and no longer providing a water tight seal.

    A repair will generally be carried out if something specifically gaused damage to a small section of flat roof such as a slat roof tile falling onto the roof and causing a puncture in the flat roof membrane which can be patch repaired

  • What is a typical flat roof repair cost?

    There isn't a tpyical cost for a flat roof repair as there are some many variables. For starters depending on the type and extent of the damage a replacement flat roof may be a better option than trying to repair the problem. If this ends up being the repair solution this can also vary on the material chosen for a flat roof. With almost all roof repair work, flat or pitched, an detailed inspection is the only way or determining what the best repair option would be and then provide an associated cost for the flat oof repair work. 

  • How long should a flat roof last?

    The normal life expectancy of a flat roof covering is roughly fifteen to twenty years. If the roofing is under fifteen years of ages yet you are having troubles, it will be likely a repair can be done as opposed to needing to set up a completely brand-new flat roof. Nevertheless, if your flat roofing system surpasses this age it might be necessary to install a new flat roof. To ensure a quality flat roof is obtained with either repair services or new install, a professional roofer must be employed. A roofing professional will certainly have the ability to effectively repair or install new roof materials to make certain of a top-quality flat roof finish. 

  • What causes roof condensation?

    ​If your roof has good ventilation condensation should not be a problem. However, as awareness of the importance of minimising heat loss in a home grew various methods of reducing heat loss were carried out over the years – with some solutions being better than others. The felts used in roofs in the ’30s didn’t allow water vapour escape, which means that when the temperature differential between surfaces was large enough water droplets would form. The roof liners used from the ’80s onwards worked on the same principles as Gore-Tex, so moisture could get out in one direction only. This meant that your roof could be insulated and provide water protection from getting in, whilst still allowing moisture to escape from the inside to out.

     If you have one of the older felt roofs replacing this with a breathable alternative will fix your moisture issues but is an expensive alteration. A lower-cost option is to install a roof ventilator which us Lancaster roofers are well versed in carrying out.

    Condensation in the roof space usually occurs because the roofing felt is impermeable and therefore does not let moisture escape. This can see water droplets accumulate and fall onto the top of the ceiling below, causing damp. Impermeable felt was introduced in the 1930s, with breathable membranes following in the 1980s. The low-cost remedy to roof space condensation is to buy a roof ventilator. Alternatively, you could replace the impermeable felt with a breathable version – naturally a more costly option. If damage has already occurred to your timber roof rafters we can also recommend and carry out appropriate roof repairs to your timbers too. Let us know if you think you require roof ventilator installation or a roof timber inspection.

  • Is a chimney cap necessary?

    ​If you have a chimney, which isn’t capped you run the risk of a number of issues affecting your home. Before having one installed the main issue which needs addressing is whether or not the chimney which is being capped is still being actively used. If not then a chimney cap makes absolute sense to install. The main advantage is that they will minimise the amount of debris, which can come down your chimney and start to build up at the bottom of the chimney. This may be hidden behind a gas or electric fireplace but can still potentially cause a fire hazard. Falling debris can cause the occasional unexpected noise and it’s not uncommon for a bird to become trapped down a chimney flute to then become part of the debris, which is not a pleasant thought. But probably most importantly the cap will prevent rainwater from coming down your chimney walls, which will then seep through and become visible in your interior walls and ceiling running down the path of your chimney.

    If you do have an active fireplace at the bottom of your chimney a raised cap with a mesh will provide the benefits mentioned above whilst still allowing fire exhaust fumes to escape safely. It is work keeping an eye on these chimney caps to ensure that there isn’t a build-up of debris such as leaves catching onto the mesh and then accumulating further debris. To keep your chimney safe and efficient, it’s worth having this type of chimney cap cleaned at least every 3-4 years. Here at Roofer Lancaster, we can carry out both chimney cap installation and chimney cap cleaning so please contact us if you require either of these services

  • What other roof services do you carry out?

    As well as those roof services already mentioned, more and more people are taking the approach of having preventative products installed on their roof. A couple of good examples are anti pigeon mesh netting, or for those roofs with solar panels - solar panel bird exclusion kits. These are a little more sophisticated than the anti-bird spikes /defender bird spikes as they cover a larger area and prevent nesting underneath solar panels. As well as installing any other measures we also install gutter brushes, sometimes known as gutter hedgehogs which are a great way of preventing debris from building up in guttering channels.

    It's great to see more people taking preventative action to avoid more costly roof repairs at a later date so please get in touch with us if you have any questions regarding any of our roofing services in Lancaster. 

  • How to choose the right roofing contractor?

    Prior to employing a roofer, it is sensible to get recommendations from good friends or family. Whether or not you have suggestions, obtain numerous quotes before figuring out the roofing contractor to hire. Never be rushed into working with a roofing contractor. Work with the roofing professional who has the best combination of experience and price and with whom you feel most comfortable.

    Ask the roofing contractor the length of time they have actually stayed in business. Roofing professionals with several years of experience are better. Make sure they have a physical address. Numerous roof rip-offs are conducted by individuals functioning out of a truck with no valid company permit or irreversible address. Request for referrals and also check them. Contractors need to be appropriately insured. Request for evidence of insurance to be sure you are protected from any kind of damages to your residence.

    Before beginning a major roofing project obtain an agreement. This must include all the information of the project, the time frame for completion, as well as cost. It ought to clearly outline settlement policies and stages as well as service warranties. Check out the warranty meticulously to see that you are adequately protected. Be certain the agreement states they are accountable for the cleanup and removal of existing materials. Old roof covering products can stack up, so you do not want to have also deal with waste yourself – unless that is jointly agreed. Remember if you have staged payments that the final payment is only payable after the work has been completed to your satisfaction.
