Here at JTF Roofing Ltd, we believe the roof is one of the most important parts of any property and should be treated as such. Most people in Maidstone will have worked hard and saved for years to be able to purchase a property, so why not complete it with a flat roofing system that is durable, cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing?
Whether you have opted to build your own home or just purchased a new property that needs a roof replacement, you will need to choose a new roof. One of the first questions you will face is if you want a pitched or flat structure.
While both roofing styles have their advantages, today, our roofing company explains why you should install a flat roof. Our options for flat roofing services include:
The most significant benefit of a flat roof is the cost. Not only are the materials cheaper, but the labour costs are also reduced due to the smaller risk taken in installing them. As these roofs are easier and quicker to install, there are fewer complications, labour and repair costs to account for throughout their lifespan.
Another reason to choose a flat roof system is that they are quick to install so you won’t have to wait as long to move in as you would with a pitched roofing installation. Likewise, should your roof require repairs in the future or if you eventually opt to replace the roof, the process will be relatively fast and hassle-free.
With flat roof systems such as EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and torch-on felt, there is no need to waste valuable working hours or clear your personal schedule to meet with your roofing contractor at your Maidstone property. There are even repairs and maintenance jobs that can be completed within a day.
One of the most unique advantages of installing a flat roofing system is that it will provide useable outdoor space. This is a practical choice if you have a limited garden area and would like somewhere to lounge, dine and socialise outdoors. Alternatively, flat roofs can be used to set up and store solar panels, air conditioning units, or other features that you may require to create a comfortable environment or reduce energy bills.
In terms of maintenance, flat roof systems are cost-effective and take up very little of your time. It is safer and easier to inspect them, so any issues should be spotted earlier on and are therefore quicker and less costly to resolve. Maintenance jobs like cleaning the guttering are practically effortless without the worry of balancing on a slope and contribute a great deal to the upkeep of your roof and the protection of your property.
