Upgrading to EPDM (rubber) & adding insulation to a flat roof will help keep the heat in, making the room beneath more comfortable while helping to keep your bills down.

Benefits:

• Maintenance Free Rubber Roof
• Excellent investment that will add considerable value to your property (pays for itself)
• Peace of mind for 50-60 years.

Warm air rises upwards so if your roof is poorly insulated or un-insulated, this could contribute to a heating loss of as much as 25%

Benefits

• Lower the risk of condensation related issues
• Make room in the roof – or potentially turn it into another room
• Rafter-level insulation creates a warm roof.

Upgrading internally would involved remove the ceilings, walls, plasterboard and plaster to enable the fitting of the insulation, this is a filthy job creating high volumes of dust and dirt around your home.

SO EXTERNAL INSTALLATION IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

To upgrade the insulation externally, the roof would be removed but all the ceilings and walls would stay intact, avoiding disturbance & dirt entering your home.

Benefits

• Less mess and disruption than the internal option
• Gives you the opportunity to upgrade your roof which is a fantastic investment
• NB. This option would require more than 1/3 investment
