London Roofing Specialists

The distinctions and advantages of warm roofs versus cold roofs are worth exploring.

Warm roofs have insulation installed above the roof deck, keeping the entire structure warm and reducing the risk of condensation.

On the other hand, cold roofs have insulation installed between the ceiling and the roof deck, allowing for ventilation and preventing heat loss.

The benefits of warm roofs include improved energy efficiency and reduced heating costs, while cold roofs offer better ventilation and moisture control.

Single ply roofing membranes are chosen for flat roofs due to their lightweight nature, ease of installation, and durability.

The use of single ply membranes can provide excellent waterproofing properties, energy efficiency, and resistance to UV rays.

Additionally, single ply roofing systems offer flexibility, allowing for expansion and contraction without compromising the integrity of the roof.

Selecting the right flat roofing system can be overwhelming, particularly when you’re trying to stay within a budget. This article will help you navigate the options available, weighing the benefits and costs to help you make an informed decision.

A temporary roof is advisable, however if this doesn’t fit with everyone’s budget, London Roofing Specialist will be happy to carry out works all year round. We have to make a judgement call on the weather as we can’t start stripping a roof off if it’s raining, or forecasted to rain.

You’ll probably need planning permission if you want to:

1 Build something new.
2 Make a major change to your building, such as building an extension.
3 Change the use of your building.
4 Work in a conservation area or the building is listed.

To find out if your project will require planning permission, contact your local planning authority (LPA) through your local council.

You must check if you need approval before you construct or change buildings in certain ways. Follow the link below to the Gov UK website for further information.
