My sister has a flat roof "extension" like this:



No (or very little) insulation.

The roof needs work and some insulation.

I was thinking adding a lightweight pitched roof would require less future maintenance, and would give room for insulation.

Has anyone had a roof like that fitted - any ideas of price / contractors in the north west?

Cheers.

Yes, it is mainly supported by windows.

Hmmm. I think we just have a historical aversion to flat roofs hence the desire for a pitch.

I've just been reading up on warm roof.

So we can lay insulation on top and then fit a new roof covering?

Whats the best bet for a roof of this size? Someone has tried to sell her a glassfibre roof.

However my sister is willing to spend a bit for max life expectancy.
