What Is a Flat Roof?
A flat roof is a low-slope roof commonly used for residential extensions, garages, and modern homes in Ireland. Its simple design makes it cost-effective and space-efficient, ideal for expanding living areas.
How Do I Know When to Replace My Flat Roof?
Signs Your Flat Roof Requires Replacement
Watch for these critical indicators that your flat roofing system has reached end-of-life:
- Recurrent leaks appearing in multiple locations
- Surface degradation including widespread cracks, splits, or bubbles
- Visible structural issues like noticeable sagging or deformation
- Extended water accumulation remaining for 72+ hours post-precipitation
- Material breakdown (failing asphalt sheets, rigid membranes, or peeling coatings)
- Ineffective repairs with recurring issues
- Persistent interior water marks or staining
When these symptoms appear together, complete replacement often proves more economical than continuous repairs – particularly for installations older than 15 years. To determine the most appropriate solution, schedule a comprehensive assessment with an accredited roofing contractor.
How Much Warranty Comes With Flat Roofs?
When choosing a flat roof for your home or commercial property in Ireland, understanding warranty options is crucial. Warranties vary by material, installation quality, and manufacturer specifications. Below, we break down the typical warranties for the most common flat roofing systems.
Flat Roof Warranty by Material
Asphalt (Torch-On Felt) Roofs
Torch-on felt roofs are a budget-friendly option but have shorter lifespans. Most warranties cover:
10–15 years (material-only)
Workmanship guarantees: 5–10 years (depends on installer)
Note: Prone to cracking in extreme weather; requires regular maintenance.
Fibreglass (GRP) Roofs
While commonly used, GRP has significant drawbacks in Ireland:
Claimed warranties: Often advertised as 20-30 years
Reality: Most fail within 5-7 years due to:
Brittle nature cracking under thermal movement
Poor flexibility for Ireland’s expanding/contracting roofs
Water ingress at poorly sealed edges
Liquid Roofing (Polyurethane)
Certified Performance
When properly applied with 2 coats (1kg/m² per coat), polyurethane liquid membranes like IMPERMAX QC offer exceptional longevity in Irish conditions:
✅ 20-30 year lifespan – Backed by BBA certification and CE marking
✅ 10-25 year warranties – Manufacturer-guaranteed when professionally installed
✅ 617% elongation – Handles Ireland’s constant thermal movement without cracking
How Much Does It Cost To Repair A Flat Roof?
If you’re facing a flat roof leaking, the repair cost depends on several factors: access, damage size, and current roofing material.
- Roofs with easy access are generally cheaper to repair, as they require less equipment and labour. Difficult or restricted access can increase the price due to the need for extra equipment or scaffolding.
- The scale of the work also impacts cost. Minor repairs are usually quicker and cheaper to fix, while extensive damage needs more materials, labour, and time. Overall, the cost of flat roof repairs typically ranges from €500 to €5,000, depending on the extent of the problem.
- If you need emergency flat roof repairs, prices can be higher due to the urgency. Acting quickly when you notice a flat roof leaking can prevent much bigger and more expensive problems.
