Felt Garage Roofs

Felt is one of the most popular materials used for a roof as it can be cut to fit any shape or size of roof, as well as being very light, making it perfect for smaller, weaker buildings like sheds or garages, or even for stronger structures. Felt is very cost-effective as it is much cheaper than other materials whilst offering a good amount of protection.

Asphalt Garage Roofs

For flat garage roofs, asphalt is particularly effective as asphalt is heavier and is less likely to absorb moisture, unlike other materials. As flat roofs do not have a slope for water to run off, this is very important for flat roofs. Asphalt roofing is very durable and can last several decades longer than a tiled roof. Asphalt is also safer to work on for any repairs that may need to be carried out over time. Asphalt can also allow the area on top of a flat roof to be used as a seating area or for gardening.

Steel Garage Roofs

Lightweight and durable, steel garage roofs are easy to install and maintain so you have a quality roof for your garage that lasts. Steel garage roofs are fully resistant to fire, mould, damp, and rot, ensuring that your garage has safe and enduring protection for years to come. If properly installed, a steel roof can last longer than other material, enduring against severe weather conditions. Steel roofs are designed to be fully watertight against rain and snow, so there is no need to worry about water leaks.

Tile Effect Garage Roofs

Tile effect garage roof panels have the traditional look of a tiled roof, whilst maintaining the benefits of modern roofs.

Do you want to increase the height of your garage roof?

Rather than converting the full garage roof, increasing the height of your garage roof can be extremely beneficial. If you wanting to increase storage space or you are considering converting your garage into a work or living space such as an office, workshop or gym, raising your garage roof will help you to realise your garage's potential by unlocking the additional space you need. We can increase the height of your garage roof by up to 2.5m but you will require planning permission if you need any further increase beyond that.

Repair

Is your roof showing signs of wear and tear or has suffered some slight damage? If so, repairing your roof rather than replacing it may be more cost-effective and less time-consuming. We have a dedicated team of professional experts that are fully trained to perform a wide range of repairs. Garage roofs must withstand the UK's weather, which often includes severe rainfall, high winds, glaring heat generated by the sun and the heavy weight of snow putting pressure on the roof.

How do I know when my roof needs to be repaired??

Obviously, the first step of determining if your roof requires any repairs is to inspect it for any damage or faults, especially after severe weather conditions such as storms or heavy snowfall. This can help you to avoid problems becoming much bigger later, such as water leaks that could get worse and then leak onto important items, such as vintage cars, in the garage. If left unchecked, water leaks could eventually result in the entire roof coming down, making regular checks essential. We would recommend inspecting your garage roof at least once a year as well to ensure that your garage roof is in the best conditions and to protect any expensive items stored in the garage.

hould I repair or replace my roof?

Consider the age of your roof as if the garage roof is past its expected lifespan, it may be worth considering whether the entire roof needs replacing. As the roof ages, it becomes weaker and offers less protection against the elements, causing frequent and costly repairs. If you are having to frequently repair your roof, you may wish to consider replacing your roofs as this demonstrates a gradual decline in the roof itself as it nears the end of its life so replacing the roof would be a better investment in the long term. If the roof is beyond repair or the repair costs are prohibitive, then replacing the garage roof would be more cost-effective than paying for extensive repair work.

Repairing felt roofs

Felt roofs are very easy to repair as if it ends up getting torn or worn over the years, a new patch of felt can simply be torched over the damaged area, without having to re-felt the entire roof. This makes felt roofs very easy to repair.

Repairing flat roofs

Flat roofs are more likely to suffer from water leaks as rainwater can settle on the flat roof if the drainage provision fails or is ineffective. Regular maintenance and checks are vital, particularly if the roof is exposed to extreme cold or intense sunlight. To prevent punctures to the roof, avoid walking on the flat roof as this could cause serious damage to the roof. If repairs are left unperformed, then eventually this will result in the entire roof needing to be replaced as the problem may get too big.

Repairing asphalt roofs

Asphalt is very resistant to wear and tear but may require some maintenance over time as it may be susceptible to damage caused by extreme increases or decreases in temperature. To protect your important items from potential water leaks, asphalt roofing must be laid by professionals and it must be of an appropriate thickness to provide adequate protection.

Repairing metal roofs

Metal roofs are durable and resistant to damage caused by severe weather conditions. Metal roofs are also very resistant to ageing so they provide adequate protection for years to come. Whilst they are less likely to suffer from damage, it is vital that regular checks are carried out as thermal movement may occur, which requires leadwork repairs.
