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.

County Waterford: what the figures say

41.3% of households in County Waterford live in homes built before 1981 — close to the national figure of 40.7%, and the 6th highest share of the 26 counties.
Roofs on houses of that age were usually laid on bitumen felt rather than a breathable membrane and many are on their original covering, so one repair often turns up others — ask for photographs.
