Can lead flashings be repaired, or do they need to be replaced?

Yes, leadwork and lead flashings can often be repaired rather than replaced. In many cases, localised problems like small cracks or lifting sections can be repaired by welding or repointing the mortar without replacing the entire area. However, if the material has deteriorated extensively, we may recommend a full replacement, which is usually the safest and most cost-effective long-term solution.

What is the lifespan of a new roof installation?

The lifespan of new roofs varies depending on the materials used. 

  • Slate Roof Installation - 80-150+ Years
  • Tiled Roof Installation – 50-100+ Years (tile type dependent)
  • Plain Tile Roofs – 60-100 Years
  • Concrete Tile Roofs – 40-70 Years
  • Clay Tile Roofs – 75-100+ Years
  • Kent Peg Roofs – 80-150 Years
  • Felt Roofs – 20-30+ Years
  • GRP Fibreglass Roofs – 30-50+ Years
  • EPDM Roofing – 30-50+ Years
  • Liquid Rubber Roofs – 20-30+ Years

What are the advantages of a flat roofing system?

  • Cost-Effectiveness

    With a simple structural design and reduced material requirements, flat roofing systems are generally cheaper to build than sloped roofs. 

  • Versatile Use

    Flat roofs offer usable real estate that sloped roofs cannot always accommodate. Features such as solar panels and HVAC units can be easily installed, or a rooftop garden or terrace can be created. 

  • Easier Maintenance

    Damage and safety inspections and gutter cleaning are far safer and more straightforward when you, or one of our roofing specialists, can safely walk across a flat roof surface. 

  • Top-Floor Space

    The lack of a sloped ceiling and the removal of the attic space underneath can maximise the interior room height and the usability of your top floor if desired.
