I need some advice on having a new flat roof. Im getting quotes ranging from ã400.00 - ã2000.00 and for different types (felt/rubber). Now being the sceptical barsteward that i am the rangw in quotes is very suspicious.
Any Roofers on this Site

That was a thought, but it would look out of place.
hi
You don't say what size the roof size is. Is It a shed, garage single/double or extension. I'm no roofer but I've worked In construction for over 30 yrs groundworks/bricklayer but I did have a mate who was a flat roofer and I've given him a hand a couple of times and I know he charged a couple of thou for a single garage roof felt with lime chippings. My advice would be to see If they have done any work In your area and check It out.

Hi Jonnyboy1965
I reakon you could be talking about ã800.00 to1200,00 yer man's gonna want probally ã200.00 p/d just for himself and If he's gotta a mate with. him he's gonna want paying too and I think he'd be there a couple of days. Then you got you'r materials ie:joists probally about a dozen depending on the spacing between each one It could be 400mm or 600mm centers then you have sheets of 12mm ply or OSB (OSB Is cheaper) and I would have thought he'd double It up then you got bitumen and felt and he could double the felt up they sometimes do. then therer's a few bits of roofing batten to go around the edge and fainally facia board plastic or plywood. I'd say anything over 1200.00 max tell em' to poke It.:nono: It's always good to be a sceptical barsteward when builders are involved. Good Luck

If you are at all handy it might be worth doing yourself? I'm not that capable but managed to re - roof a 10 x 3 garage roof with my brother using 18 mm osb and heavy duty epdm rubber in a weekend. Had been quoted 2.5k for a grp roof, but managed to get it done myself for around 500. Pleased with edpm, flexible and hard wearing, and 2 years on no problems.
