Roofs & roofline

Flat roofing assessed around your building

A flat roof needs a solution suited to its structure and condition. Shire can assess your roof and discuss the work required, from the surface to the details around its edges.

Flat Roof design example

Choosing flat roof

Find out what needs attention beneath the surface

Tell the team about leaks, visible damage or previous repairs. The roof’s junctions, drainage and supporting structure need consideration alongside the external finish.

Compare quotations by the work included, rather than the covering alone. Ask whether removal, underlying repairs and finishing details have been allowed for.

Ask about your project

Scope, cost and fitting

Plan your flat roof project

What affects the quotation?

Roof area, access, the selected system and the condition underneath affect flat roofing costs. The scope may need to account for repairs identified at assessment.

What happens at the survey?

Explain the history of the roof and inspect the visible condition and drainage so an appropriate scope can be discussed.

Before installation begins

Agree the system, preparation and finishing details, and ask how unexpected defects will be handled if discovered during the work.

Questions before you decide

Flat Roof: your questions

Can you tell from a photograph whether my roof needs replacing?

Photographs help start the discussion, but the condition and necessary work need an assessment.

Is flat roofing the same service as Smart-Roof?

No. Smart-Roof specialises in conservatory roof replacements; flat roofing is a separate area of Shire’s range.

What should be included in a flat roof quote?

Ask about preparation, the roof system, drainage, edges, any repairs and the finish at adjoining walls.
