This project involved full roofline work and flat roof replacement at a property in Royston, covering the front, rear and side of the main house, including the loft rooms. The work also included replacing the flat roofs to both the front and rear elevations.
The scope of works focused on improving the roofline system and renewing ageing flat roofs using modern materials suited to long-term performance and low maintenance.
SM Roofline regularly carries out similar roofline and flat roofing work across Essex, Hertfordshire and nearby areas including Harlow, Sawbridgeworth, Bishops Stortford, Epping, Brentwood, Chelmsford, Ongar, Enfield, Braintree, Saffron Walden and Romford.
Fascia, Soffit and Guttering Replacement
All existing fascia, soffit and guttering were removed from the property, including the associated downpipes. This allowed full access to the rafter feet so their condition could be checked.
Where any rafter ends showed signs of rot, repairs were carried out to create a solid fixing point before the new roofline system was installed.
The replacement roofline included:
- 18mm white uPVC fascia boards
- 10mm white uPVC soffit boards
- Ventilation built into the fascia at the eaves
- Drip trays fitted where required
- Bird combs installed where needed
- Black square guttering and downpipes to match the existing style
This work was completed across the front, rear and side elevations of the property, including the loft room sections, giving a consistent finish throughout.
Roofline work like this forms a key part of ongoing maintenance for many properties across Essex and Hertfordshire, particularly where older timber systems have reached the end of their service life.
Flat Roof Replacement – Front and Rear
Both flat roofs at the property were stripped back completely. The existing roof coverings were removed and disposed of, allowing the underlying ply boards to be inspected.
Any ply boards that required replacement were changed before the new roof covering was installed.
The new flat roofs were finished using an EPDM rubber membrane. EPDM is a non-heat applied system that covers the roof in a single piece, meaning there are no joints or seals across the main surface.
Key details of the flat roofing work included:
- Full removal of existing membranes
- Inspection and replacement of ply boards where required
- Installation of EPDM rubber membrane in one piece
- Black uPVC edge trims to all roof perimeters
- Aluminium trims used to finish abutments
EPDM flat roofing is widely used on residential properties due to its durability and low maintenance requirements. The roofs installed on this project come with a 20-year guarantee, with an expected lifespan in excess of 50 years.
SM Roofline installs EPDM flat roofing across Royston and surrounding areas, as well as throughout Essex and Hertfordshire.
Access, Site Management and Finish
All work on this property was completed using SM Roofline’s own access equipment. This allowed the job to be carried out efficiently while keeping disruption to a minimum.
Once the installation was complete, all waste materials were removed from site and the property was left clean and tidy.
Guarantees and Aftercare
The completed work at this Royston property is covered by:
- 10-year guarantee on the roofline work
- 20-year guarantee on the flat roofs
The customer also has ongoing contact details for SM Roofline should any questions or concerns arise in the future.
