flat roof insulation

Hi, I have a single-skin brick extension with a concrete flat roof from the 50s/60s that I’m getting re-covered. The concrete roof overhangs the exterior by 100-150mm. I’m trying to decide whether to go warm or cold roof. I originally thought warm but now I’m concerned about potential...

Hi - newby - be gentle! I have a small (16m2) GRP flat roof- it’s in good order and perfectly serviceable - 100% waterproof and is a “cold roof” design - the problem is it’s very cold as the insulation in it is pretty crap. I don’t want to pull down the ceiling to add insulation (long story!)...

Hi all... hope you can help, I'm finding conflicting information online! I'm about to put a GRP warm flat roof on an outbuilding, I'm using 100mm PIR foil backed insulation and was wondering do I need a deck between the joists and insulation or only one above the insulation (the joists are at...

Hi all, I've just done my first flat roof and I've left noggins to pick up the Fascia's where the joists run parallel to the wall. The joists overhang at the front also for the fascia. The brickwork is two course higher on the outside so I could have a smaller fascia board by the time the warm...

Trying to insulate roof in 1970s extension to an old bungalow. Wondered if anyone else has come across a similar challenge / what you did please? The extension is for a quite small kitchen and bathroom - very cold in winter. As a refurb project, I’m resigned to not being to be able to meet...
