Flat roof bungalow-New roof

Guapito

I've been given a ballpark figure of £25k for a new Single Ply Flat Roof on a 3-bed bungalow of approx 155m2. Flabbergasted to say the least. I've been advised to avoid going down the mineral felt route (currently on the roof) as it has a lifetime of approx 15 years. Does this sound like a fair quote?

No that's quite steep. Say on a roof that size you'll want to be paying about 100 a square metre. It will probably include raising the whole deck with new Fascias and soffits as the amount of insulation you have to put in for the building regs raises the roof about a foot.

Personally I don't like single ply Epdm any more. You can't go wrong with a high quality 2 layer felt system fitted by a professional which will easily give you a minimum 20 years.

Subject to Planning and the construction of your bungalow, but the eco, sustainable, long term answer is a proper roof. Your flat roof quote will include scaffold, stripping off the old roof, new insulation and all labour costs. Why not add allow, or negotiate for roof trusses and tiles?
