[Misc] Flat Roofing Question

[A mex eyecan]

Hi,
Im trying to help my old aunt who lives in Brighton. She has a garage roof that really needs complete replacement.
However, like many old folk, she’s worried as to how much it’s likely to cost before she decides if she can do it, or (her thoughts not mine) leaves it and allows it to fall down into the unused garage below

I’m trying to find out a very rough idea of what total replacement will cost. It’s about 3.2mt x 5.2 mt overall. Will need new joists, decking and felting.

Hopefully I can persuade her to get the job done.

Anyone in the roofing game, or know of someone who is Id appreciate a PM.

thanks

I suggest @CAPTAIN GREALISH is your man.

Worth looking into getting EPDM instead of felt.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Don’t believe it, it’s a conspiracy.

 

[jackanada]

£5k if you want a rough guess

Much like the fake moon landings in the studio at NASA's administration building on E Street in Washington DC in 1969.

This. Felt roofs in the fullness of time tend to have issues with water sitting on them. We had EPDM on a garden shed a few years back in it still looks .

Had basically the same work carried out, in 2021 (including new joists and boards), for £2,100.

If you want a second quote in addition to @CAPTAIN GREALISH pm me and I’ll pass on details of someone used by my family in the industry.

I’m having my garage roof replaced next week, having to have felt as it’s in a block of four. I’ve been quoted £2,200. Luckily it appears the wood underneath is ok and should dry out once the new roofing is on.

i’d post you all some pictures I have which show my late uncles ‘attempts’ at repairing (bodging) the roof joists, but then again loved the old fella so much I’ll keep them to myself and just smile

at £60-£100sqm on the felt roof, thats allready a grand, minimum, just on the felt... assuming 3 layer. 1 day for ripout, 2 days for new roof to be installed (Joists, firrings, counter baten, osb) and decked + materials.
1 skip
1 day on fascia/soffit/gutter.

you're probably looking between 4-6k

Hope this helps.

We had a small flat roof 8 x 8 on our utility room reroofed in epdm over 25 years ago. Not a single problem.

Mind you, it cost us £400, so I wouldn't expect there to be any problems.
