I have a leak, how much will it cost to fix?

Due to a number of factors involved including building, type of roof, and complexity of the job, it is impossible to give an accurate quote before first inspecting the issue. However each visit is free with a quote provided once the leak has been analysed.

What is the best material for my roof?

This is subject to the job as some roofing systems are more ideal for certain uses. For example, we would advise avoiding a felt roof wherever there is a risk of fire and instead opting for GRP and unless you’re willing to pay for a 40 year guarantee for a garage roof it is likely to be more cost effective to opt for a felt system. all roofing systems have their pros and cons however as long as they’re installed by a competent and trained professional you will be watertight for years to come.

We work on a first come first served basis and as soon as a quote is accepted we will book it into our diary and get to it as fast as possible.

How long will the job take?

This is dependent on the work that needs to be done. Please keep in mind that weather will play a factor, and extreme weather for example can create delays during winter months.

How much does it cost to remove a garage roof in the UK?

The cost of a garage roof replacement ultimately depends on what materials the new roof is made of and the size of your garage. Here is a potential estimate of the price per square meter. For medium-sized garages measuring 2.7 m by 5.5 m: a felt roof will cost £50 per square meter, a fibreglass roof will cost £100 per square meter and a firestone rubber roof will cost £90 per square meter.

What is the best roof for a garage?

EPDM or firestone rubber roofs are the best option for your garage roof since they can be laid on any substrate and are extremely durable and long-lasting. Plus it is easy to install and there is little to no upkeep required.If you are looking for a more affordable option, then perhaps metal garage roofs will be better since they are long-lasting and affordable. You could also choose asphalt roofs if you are looking for an even cheaper option, but they don’t last long and can break down with sun and water exposure.

Can I cover the asbestos garage roof?

Yes, it is possible to clad over or cover an asbestos roof. Technically, you have two options: either you could coat the roof using a special coating system and it will seal all the fibres, or you could over clad using steel. There are flaws and advantages of both options. The coating cannot be done on a broken and damaged roof but if the roof is in okay condition, then the coating can be applied and it will be cheaper and low risk. Over cladding is not only more expensive but you also have to drill holes in the previous roof which can cause the asbestos particles to be released into the air. Moreover, over-cladding an asbestos roof might buckle the foundation since it was not constructed to be strong enough to sustain steal. But it is long-lasting, durable once done properly, and is more weather resistant. Your options will depend on the condition of your roof, as one customer stated, I have recently had the garage roof replaced on my managed property. It was an old asbestos roof that was leaking in a number of places and was advised due to the material and age to replace rather than repair

How long does a garage roof last?

The longevity of your roof depends on the materials that are used to make it. Flat roofs made of asphalt shingles last a short time because flat roofs don’t have natural drainage and asphalt is weak to water and sun, while roofs that are constructed of EPDM and metal can last a long time because they are made of rubber and steel.

What type of roofing is best for a flat roof?

If you want to consider only the best; the EPDM roof is a highly flexible and versatile option. It’s great for quick and easy installation while also being cost-effective, durable, and resilient. Yet, with that being said, it’s not worth forgetting that all this work on roofs is still dangerous. Even if a job is simple, you’d need to take proper precautions to control risk.

What is the most common type of commercial roof?

Metal roofs are among the few commercial roofing systems that have recently gained popularity. They offer added protective surface layers that can handle damage from prolonged exposure to environmental dangers, such as sunlight. Plus, metal would have stronger fire resistance than traditional roofing options, creating more sustainable and reliable designs.

What are the most commercial roofs made from?

As brushed upon prior, metal roofs are probably the most common. They’re cheap, efficient, and straightforward to install.

What is the longest-lasting flat roof?

Out of all possible materials, EPDM offers one-of-a-kind durability. With its increased rubber thickness, the resilient material is capable of excellent tear and puncture resistance. In fact, because of its incredible durability, you could even expect materials that last decades or even a century without an immediate need for flat roof repair or replacement.

How Do We Do It?

The repair and installation of GRP/fibreglass roofs in Leeds is a tricky process that requires a high degree of experience, professionalism and attention to detail. The Family Roofing Company has an extensive application process that ensures your roof’s effectiveness for years.

Our GRP roofing in Leeds follows a simple process. It is a cold-applied roofing technique including the rolling out of GSM matting and incorporating the correct ratio of resin into the GSM. Then, we bandage the necessary trimmings and use a paddle roller to push the resin into the roof. After this is complete, we apply the appropriate topcoat to the roof to complete the roof in the chosen colour and within the available palette.

There are also additional flat roofing solutions available, such as adding an anti-slip surface or a green roof if the client so desires.

Why Choose a GRP Flat Roof?

Fibreglass or GRP provides a cold-applied, weathertight, highly-durable seal for all kinds of roofing structures with a lifespan of up to 20 years with no maintenance, in contrast to the 10-year lifespan and susceptibility to damage and water infiltration of standard flat roofs.
