Dear John I would recomend to post a job on main website because some of a job needs to be seen before any advice is given. Our service is free of charge with no obligation quote and our tradesmans are happy to help with every aspects of jobs. When you post a job on Rated People home page then 3 companies will get in touch then you would be able to choose the right person as you would receive an e mail with a link to tradesman account where you would see a pictures and you will read revious from previous customers. I hope this will help Best regards Rafal

Hi John Pitched roofs are normally better than flat roofs in terms of longevity as tiles have a longer life span than felted flat roofs. You should consider that every roof or property is different so its not necessary what is best, but what is suitable to the design of the property. Unless your building from new.

There are many variables to consider. Suitability, Surroundings / environment Personal taste Usage Any good roofer should be able to provide you with either roof - both of which should last. Flat roofs are considered more technical - they often become faulty due to poor instillation.
