WHAT TO EXPECT
Information that helps assess a flat roof
Flat roof problems can involve the covering, deck, perimeter trims, outlets, upstands or detailing around walls and rooflights. Pooling water, splits, lifted edges and soft areas are useful observations to include.
If you know whether the covering is felt, EPDM, GRP or another system, add that to the enquiry. If you are unsure, photographs and the approximate age of the roof can help the responding contractor understand what may be involved.
