What to notice around exposed roof edges
Identify the work needed around exposed roof edges using the inspection photographs Adam supplies with your written quotation.
Exposed perimeter repairs
Tell Adam about an outer edge lifting away from its trim; an inspection needs to establish whether the edge movement has damaged the adjoining covering before the visible problem is priced.
Look beyond the exposed detail
The reason for looking closely at exposed roof edges is that wind movement pulls at a poorly secured perimeter, with the adjoining edge fixings forming part of the inspection.
Previous work needs explaining
Bring any records relating to your exposed roof edges, including photographs or descriptions of earlier work, so Adam can compare the previous scope with the roof now.
A clear scope is missing
Before agreeing your flat roof covering, ask the roofer to explain whether the edge movement has damaged the adjoining covering and identify the proposed work at the adjoining edge fixings.
Check exposed roof edges before agreeing the work
Pinpoint the repair around exposed roof edges before choosing replacements. Adam photographs edge fixings and sets out the materials and work in your written quotation.
For the agreed flat roof work, the team will secure the deck edge and renew the damaged perimeter detail. Felt, EPDM and GRP are considered against the deck, exposed roof edges and drainage recorded during the inspection. Progress on exposed roof edges is reported each day in photographs and videos, with payment due after the agreed work has been completed. The inspection record keeps the decisions about exposed roof edges clear throughout the work.

Exposed perimeter repairs in Daventry
The twentieth century houses at Southbrook and the estate housing around the Headlands are part of Daventry's range of housing, with exposed roof edges inspected against the exposure of the individual property. The inspection of exposed roof edges accounts for the actual building and the condition of its edge fixings. Where there is a roof edge facing open farmland, explain which edge moved after the last spell of wind when arranging the visit. Adam examines exposed roof edges on the roof, photographs the findings and prices the work against the construction he has inspected at your address.
Choose the covering around exposed roof edges
Choose a covering that suits exposed roof edges; Adam's written specification explains the deck and edge fixings together.
Torch-on felt
For exposed roof edges, a felt specification identifies the bonded layers and cap sheet as well as the deck beneath them. Adam explains how the covering will terminate at edge fixings, with the preparation included in the written quote.
Best for: Layered covering with specified exposed roof edges
EPDM rubber
A rubber EPDM covering needs a sound prepared deck and the correct edge details at exposed roof edges. Your specification also identifies the work on the edge fixings, so the replacement is considered as a whole roof assembly.
Best for: Flexible membrane around edge fixings
GRP fibreglass
With GRP, the resin, glass fibre and topcoat are specified alongside the work at exposed roof edges. The GRP system carries a 25-year manufacturer guarantee, while a separate 10-year workmanship guarantee covers our work at edge fixings and across the roof.
Best for: Resin finish with detailed exposed roof edges
Customer accounts relevant to flat roof covering
Hired Adam from Storm Shield roofing to replace my roof. Adam himself and his team did an excellent job the roof looks great! All my questions were answered they left no mess when they left I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
When estimating they were the only ones to actually inspect the roof! Provided photos and full explanation of the rework required to resolve the issue. Carried out the repair as planned, when planned with minimal disruption and no damage. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this business.
Job was completed quickly and efficiently. Adam was polite, friendly and professional. Communication was very good - I was kept informed of roofing choices, delivery dates and when the job would be started.
