Case Study: Flat Roof Replacement in East London
At Climate Force Ltd, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality solutions tailored to our customers’ needs. One of our recent projects involved replacing an old, leaking felt roof on a residential property in East London. The homeowner was dealing with persistent water ingress and poor energy efficiency, so we delivered a comprehensive upgrade to address these issues.
The Challenge
The existing flat roof had deteriorated significantly over time, leading to water damage inside the property. Additionally, the lack of proper insulation meant the house was losing heat in the winter and overheating during the summer. The homeowner sought a durable and energy-efficient solution to restore their roof and enhance overall comfort.
The Solution
To ensure a safe and efficient project, we first erected scaffold access around the property. Our team then installed a robust new felt roof, featuring:
- Three layers of felt for long-lasting durability and waterproofing.
- 120mm of insulation, significantly improving the property’s thermal performance by reducing heat loss in colder months and minimizing heat absorption during the summer.
To enhance the space further, we installed an electric skylight, which not only provides additional natural light but also adds ventilation and a modern touch to the home.
The Results
The new flat roof stopped water leakage into the house, protecting the property from further damage. The upgraded insulation has improved energy efficiency, helping the homeowner reduce heating and cooling costs throughout the year. The electric skylight has also transformed the interior space, creating a brighter and more comfortable environment.
