Flat RoofsHow do we use your information?

Flat roofs are normally found on garages, dormers and extensions of properties. Flat roofs tend to have quite a bad reputation for leaking, however, this is often more likely down to the flat roofing materials getting in to the wrong hands and being poorly fitted and finished.

The information that we collect and store relating to you is primarily used to enable us to provide our services to you. In addition, we may use the information for the following purposes:

A professionally fitted flat roof system from Taylor Roofs, using quality materials, will get you a 20 year warranty, giving you total peace of mind for your flat roof. There are various flat roof coverings including built up torch on felt roofing, EPDM rubber flat roofs, GRP flat roofs and less common green flat roofs.

Our skilled flat roofers will then arrive on site and take delivery of skips and materials to ensure they are in the right place for the project and to help protect your belongings, putting down boards or coverings to limit any damage to your grass or driveway.

Our roofers will set up their hoisting equipment and will then strip off the old flat roof coverings back to the timber deck. At this point they will inspect your boards and a decision will be made if they need replaced or not. If the boards are deemed to not be salvageable, we will remove them back to the trusses and dispose of old tiles and other associated materials to the skip.

Please be advised that we do not reveal information about identifiable individuals to our advertisers but we may, on occasion, provide them with aggregate statistical information about our visitors such as your area of residence or age group.

As our skilled flat roofers go they will replace your old redundant boards with new 18mm OSB ply boards and ensure your roof is made watertight by fitting torch-on underlay. Our roofers will only strip the roof in manageable sections depending on the size of your flat roof so there isn’t any unnecessary risk of letting water in during the installation.

Once the flat roof is all stripped and re-boarded our skilled flat roofers will fit the vapour barrier layer which is nailed to the boards then insulation boards will be fitted if relevant to your flat roof. Insulation is usually required in lived-in spaces, but not as common in cold spaces like uninhabitable garages.Information that is collected is securely stored in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and is never shared with third parties.  Your information will only be stored for as long as it is necessary to provide you with the service for which you require from us. Information will only be disclosed if we are legally obliged to do so in accordance with the law.

Next, we are on to the 2mm torch-on underlay layer, which will be torched-on to the roof using technical torch-on techniques, ensuring all laps and seams are sealed with tar.Do we use ‘cookies’?

Then, it is the final layer of black mineral torch-on capsheet. Again, this is laid using the proper torch on technique ensuring there is an adequate bleed of tar at all seams. The perimeter of flat roof will have a black mineral torch-on capsheet drip edge to ensure full flat roof area is complete and sealed for a 20 year warranty.
