Flat roofing: what the job involves

Re-covering or repairing a flat roof on an extension, garage, porch or dormer in EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or torch-on felt. Most flat-roof leaks come from the edges, outlets and where the roof meets a wall, so the detailing matters as much as the membrane.

How long it takes: One to three days for a typical garage or extension roof; rotten decking, adding insulation and a dry-weather window can stretch it.

The full guide to flat roofing — the steps, what is included, the Irish rules, paperwork and questions to ask.
