Flat Roof Conversion in Jesmond Dene – Recent Project

In Jesmond, Newcastle, we encountered a residential property suffering from significant water ingress issues due to an improperly pitched roof installation. The homeowners contacted us after experiencing repeated issues with rainwater backtracking into their property, a problem exacerbated by the region’s frequent rainy weather.

Upon thorough roof inspection by our local based Newcastle team, it was evident that the roof’s pitch was insufficient for tiled roofing, an issue often overlooked but critical in preventing water ingress. Utilising our advanced pitch finder tool on the roof joists, the problem was immediately apparent. To address this, we recommended a transition to a flat roofing solution, specifically using EPDM rubber roofing materials, renowned for their durability and seamless finish.

The conversion involved removing the existing tiles and reconstructing the roof structure to accommodate the new flat roof system. The project spanned 1.5 days and covered an area of 25 m². The EPDM rubber roof installed is seamless, eliminating the risk of leaks and ensuring the property remains dry and secure regardless of the weather conditions. This material choice solved the immediate water ingress issue and provided a low-maintenance, long-term roofing solution for the homeowners.
