Home Insurance - calculation of flat roof area
Discussion
I have an single story extension at the rear of my house with an EPDM flat roof.
The room is 5m x 7m so the roof area about is 35 sqm. When applying for home insurance and asked for a percentage of roof that is flat do I calculate it as an overall of the foot print of the house that is 135 sqm (roughly 25%) or as area of roofing itself assuming area of roofing is 2 x footprint (roughly 12.5%) ?
The rest of the house has a tradition tile pitched roofing hence me assuming a pitched roof is roughly double the footprint.
Sorry if this is a daft question!
