On a flat roof, Which type of roofing system would you use?

Posted by Neil Finn, on
We have a garden room and wish to re roof the current felt roof as was never finished when we built it (edges were not done), We have had three quotes from local roofers and all three have suggested a different system 1/ re-felt 2/ rubber (Firestone epdm system) 3/ single ply Would like to know if it was your house/ project what would you go for? thanks in advance

Hi Neil, If it was my project i would use a single ply roofing system, these systems are more expensive and come with a comprehensive guarantee, usually around 30 years. Graham Graham Pow Specialist Roofing
