Scope of Works

As part of this flat roof replacement in Stotfold, Bedfordshire, our roofing specialists completed the following works:

Safe Access Installation

Before roofing works commenced, scaffolding was erected around the property to provide safe access and ensure compliance with current Working at Height Regulations.

Removal of Existing Flat Roof

The existing flat roof membrane and deteriorated roof boarding were carefully removed to expose the roof structure and allow for a full inspection of the substrate.

New Roof Deck Installation

To create a solid foundation for the new roofing system, we installed:

  • New OSB roof boards
  • New firring strips to improve roof falls
  • Structural preparation ready for the waterproofing system

Installing new decking helps ensure a stable, long-lasting roof structure capable of supporting the new waterproof membrane.


Improved Flat Roof Insulation

Energy efficiency was enhanced through the installation of 50mm Celotex insulation boards fitted between the roof joists.
This additional insulation helps:

Reduce heat loss, improving energy efficiency
Improve thermal performance and comfort
Increase homeowner comfort
Support lower energy consumption

Chimney Flashing and Weatherproofing Improvements

A key aspect of this project involved improving the roof detailing around the chimney.
Our team installed new lead flashing around the chimney base to ensure the flat roof membrane could be correctly integrated with the masonry structure.
Proper lead flashing installation is essential for:

  • Preventing water ingress
  • Protecting chimney junctions
  • Extending roof lifespan
  • Improving overall weather resistance

Roof Tile Adaptations and Pipe Penetration Protection

During the project, we also identified an area where roof tiles had previously been fixed directly through the flat roofing membrane.

To eliminate this vulnerability, we:

  • Removed two lower courses of roof tiles
  • Adapted the roof junction correctly
  • Installed a lead saddle around the pipe penetration
  • Improved weatherproof detailing throughout the roof transition area

These improvements help prevent future leaks and provide a much more robust roofing system.

The property was left clean, tidy and ready to enjoy following completion of the works.

10-Year Warranty for Complete Peace of Mind

Every full new flat roof installation completed by ROSE ROOFING is backed by our 10-Year Workmanship Guarantee.

This gives homeowners confidence that their investment is protected and that the roof has been installed to the highest professional standards.
