2 x flat roofs today 😏

A few things you didn't know about flat roofs: 👇

Flat roofs typically last 15 to 30 years

The lifespan depends on the roofing material used, such as felt, GRP fibreglass, or PVC membranes, as well as maintenance and weather exposure.

Replacement is often more cost-effective than continual repairs

If a flat roof has widespread leaks, pooling water, or significant wear, replacing the entire roof can save money in the long term compared to repeated patch repairs.

Proper drainage is essential

Despite the name, flat roofs should have a slight slope to direct water toward drains or gutters. Poor drainage can lead to standing water and premature roof failure.

A replacement can improve energy efficiency

Installing new insulation during a flat roof replacement can help reduce heat loss, lower energy bills, and improve the overall comfort of the building.

Whipped out the cat ladders and got this customer's ridge tiles repointed this week.

☀️Heatwaves = Pointing Weather! ☀️

We do love it when the sun comes out to celebrate a job completed 😉☀️

Totally freshened the look of this roof, with new tiles and crisp, white plastics to complement the window frames.

🔨That's not to say that torch-on doesn't do a great job, because generally it is more than adequate for the requirements of the majority of flat roofs.

🔨There are, however some attributes of fibreglass that might mean it's better suited to some roofs, depending on the primary function of that space, and of course the preferences of our customers, so we've put the key aspects of fibreglass roofing above, in case you're interested in why fibreglass is more expensive, and why it might be better suited at times.

Full roof replacement completed, opting for a change to modern, flat grey tiles - a very popular style at the moment.

On this job, the previous roofers had opted to use flashband to seal the top of the tiles.

You can clearly see the cracks and breaks in the left-hand pictures - these gaps could easily have lead to leaks inside the property, and further structural damage down the line if left uncorrected.

At Maghull Roofing, we would use flashband as a temporary repair on a small area - not as a standard finish, as it deteriorates rapidly in comparison to tougher materials.

We used new, code 4 lead to fix the poor job that had been done previously. Lead is much longer-lasting and hardy - no sneaky leaks here.🫡

It means a lot to be recommended by so many of our customers, past and present.
Thank you for your continued support.
It is very appreciated and allows our small business to keep going. 🙏
