Flat Roofing in Co. Galway
8 businesses offering flat roofing across Co. Galway.
Flat roofs turn up on extensions, dormers, garages, porches and apartment blocks, and almost none of them are actually flat. A working flat roof has a deliberate fall towards an outlet, and most of the trouble people have with them comes back to that fall being too shallow, having been lost when the deck sagged, or draining to an outlet that is now full of moss washed down off the pitched roof above. Water standing on the surface long after the rain has stopped is the sign worth acting on.
Failures rarely start in the middle of the roof. They start at the edges: the upstand where the roof meets a wall, the flashing above it, laps between sheets, and the penetrations for vents and pipes. That is why the choice between a torch-applied bitumen membrane, an EPDM rubber sheet, fibreglass laid in place or a liquid applied coating matters less than how the installer details those junctions. A recover also raises the question of where the insulation sits: putting it above the deck avoids the condensation problems that plague older cold roofs, and stripping a roof back is the one moment when correcting that is affordable.
When comparing quotes, ask whether the deck is being lifted and inspected and what happens if the timber underneath turns out to be rotten, whether the falls are being corrected or simply reproduced, whether new outlets, trims and flashings are included, and what the guarantee covers, since a product guarantee from a manufacturer and a workmanship guarantee from the installer are different things.

Common questions
There is water sitting on my flat roof. Is that a problem?
Standing water, often called ponding, means the fall is not doing its job or an outlet is blocked. It is not an immediate leak, but it accelerates the ageing of the membrane, adds weight, and collects debris and growth. Clearing the outlet is the first thing to try; if the water sits in the middle of a run instead, the fall itself is the issue.
Can a flat roof be patched, or does it need recovering?
A single mechanical injury, such as a split from something dropped on it, patches well. Widespread crazing, blistering, or a membrane that has gone brittle means it is at the end of its life and patching just moves the leak. If the deck below has softened, the covering is not the real problem and patching it will not last.
Which flat roof material should I choose?
All the common systems work when correctly installed, so the more useful question is which one the roofer installs regularly and detail well. Single-ply rubber suits simple rectangular roofs with few penetrations; fibreglass and liquid systems handle complicated shapes and awkward upstands without joins. Ask what they fit most often rather than which is best in the abstract.
How long should a flat roof last?
Longer than its reputation suggests, if the falls are right and the edges are properly detailed. Life expectancy is decided mainly by drainage, the quality of the upstand and flashing work, and whether the roof is walked on. Ask what the manufacturer states for the specific system being quoted, and separately what the installer guarantees on the workmanship.
