Versatile Design
Flat roofs provide a modern look and are ideal for various uses, including green roofs, rooftop gardens, or additional outdoor living spaces.
At Let's Roof it Now, we specialize in the design, installation, and maintenance of flat roofs for both residential and commercial properties. Our flat roofing solutions are crafted using the latest materials and techniques to ensure durability, efficiency, and style. Whether you’re looking to install a new flat roof or need repairs on an existing one, our expert team provides tailored services to meet your specific needs and ensure optimal performance.
Step 1: Consultation and Assessment The flat roofing process begins with an in-depth consultation to discuss your needs, preferences, and the specifics of your property. During this initial meeting, we also conduct a thorough assessment of your existing roof structure (if applicable) or the site for new installations. This helps us determine the best materials and methods to use for your specific situation.
Step 2: Design and Material Selection Based on the initial assessment, our team designs a flat roof system tailored to your property's requirements and your aesthetic preferences. We offer a variety of flat roofing materials, including EPDM rubber, PVC, TPO, and modified bitumen. Each material has its unique advantages, and we guide you through selecting the best option for your climate, budget, and functional needs.
Step 3: Preparation and Setup Before the installation begins, our crew prepares the site to ensure a smooth and safe operation. This includes securing the area, setting up any necessary scaffolding, and removing any existing roofing material if a replacement is being done. Ensuring a clean and prepared workspace is key to an effective installation.
Step 4: Installation Our certified roofers then proceed with the flat roof installation. This involves laying a vapor barrier, insulation layers (if required), and finally the chosen roofing material. For materials like EPDM, this might involve rolling out large sheets and adhering them securely to the roof surface, while for materials like bitumen, it involves torching the sheets to create a watertight seal.
Step 5: Waterproofing and Finishing Touches Critical to any flat roof installation is ensuring it is completely watertight. Our team meticulously installs additional waterproofing measures around edges, vents, and other protrusions. Flashing and trim are also applied to provide a finished look and additional protection from the elements.
Step 6: Quality Checks and Clean-Up Once the installation is complete, our team conducts comprehensive quality checks to ensure the roof is installed correctly and meets all safety and quality standards. We then clean up the site, removing all materials and debris, leaving your property neat and tidy.

Generally, flat roofs are less expensive to install than pitched roofs due to their simpler design and faster installation process.
Our flat roofing materials are highly effective at insulating properties, which can help reduce heating and cooling costs.
Flat roofs maximise usable space, both on top for potential development and inside by eliminating sloping ceilings.
Due to their design, flat roofs are easier to inspect and maintain, making it simpler to detect and fix issues like leaks.
We use a variety of materials, including EPDM rubber, PVC, TPO, and modified bitumen, each known for its durability and suitability for different climatic conditions.
The lifespan of a flat roof depends on the material used but typically ranges from 15 to 25 years. Proper maintenance can extend this significantly.
While flat roofs can be more susceptible to leaks if not properly installed and maintained, our expert installation techniques and quality materials minimize this risk.
Yes, we can convert a pitched roof to a flat roof, depending on the structural integrity and design of your building. Our team can assess and provide a detailed plan for such a conversion.
