dan2802 Â Â 53 #685 Posted December 5, 2017 Hi, My garage roof needs replacing and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations . It is a flat roof and we are in S35. Â GRP is dodgy this time of year as its got to be 100% dry and 6 degrees minimum. Id go rubber if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
j4wn   10 #686 Posted January 22, 2018 This thread is useful to me too. My flat roof was felted in 2005 with High Performance Roofing Felt. Been up there around September and while it looks in tact, there is a small section (18 inches square) that has raised slightly from the boards, like an Air Bubble, not torn though.  Could probably do with a proper inspection, could only afford a temp repair (if it's absolutley needed) at the moment.  So, I am interested in knowing who the trusted guys are who will be honest and quote me a repair and not try scare me into having the whole roof done if I can get a few more years out of it, so I can save up for the inevitable re-roof in the future. I am in Sheffield 10.  Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If the felt was laid in 2005 it'll not have that many years of life left in it anyway. If its not leaking, its OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That is if it is deemed necessary as a repair by a roofer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

cdr52x   10 #694 Posted June 14, 2018 The roof on our garage is the corrugated asbestos type. It’s cracking, leaking and beginning to flake a bit so needs replacing asap.  So far I’ve been quoted quite lot by Compton who seem to have a monopoly in the area.  I don’t really want to go over the top as we may have an extension in a few years which means it would come down anyway.  Does anyone know of someone other than Compton who can do this (disposing of the asbestos properly) and what sort of price to expect? I know I can do it myself and double bag it to the tip but I’m not sure I fancy it or have the skills or time to put something non asbestos back on.  Many thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
