Here’s a quick look at a recent job we completed on a property in Barnet, where we replaced two flat roofs, one on an outbuilding and the other on a small bay window. The old roofs were well past their best, so it was time to strip everything back and start fresh.
We began by removing the existing roof membrane and all the timber deck underneath, taking it right back to the roof and ceiling joists. With everything exposed, we checked over the joists to see if any had rotted or weakened over time. Only the ones that genuinely needed replacing were swapped out, we don’t believe in replacing things for the sake of it.
Once the joists were sorted, we fitted new 18mm OSB timber sheets to form a solid new roof deck. Then came the new EPDM rubber membrane. This is a single-piece rubber covering, laid without any heat, which makes it a safer and longer-lasting option. We finished off the wall flashing with neat black aluminium trim and fitted black uPVC edging along the gutter line for a clean, sharp finish.
As part of the outbuilding job, we also fitted new fascia and guttering. The fascia board has a black woodgrain effect that gives it a smart look, and we matched it with black half-round guttering and a new downpipe to tie everything together.
Everything was done using our own access equipment—no waiting around for scaffolders. And as always, we left the property tidy and took all the rubbish away with us.
This customer now has peace of mind with a 20-year guarantee on the roof and 10 years on the fascia and guttering.
