Don't have one on our house but I used to work somewhere that had an elderly one, a couple times we had to have repairs on leaks. A friend has one on her kitchen and has had a couple of leak repairs over the last couple of years - again an old one.
One of my neighbours has one on her kitchen extension and they have been happy with it so far, about 10 years old. Her hubby gets up and cleans it off every now and then, usually after the birds have chucked moss etc off the house roof.
I think as long as it's done by a good company and you keep checking the seams occasionally they are alright.

There are many ways of constructing a flat roof and the best advice is to consult a good architect. (Check that he or she is registered with the Architects Registration Board www.arb.org.uk).

We are considering a flat roof on our large extension to avoid cutting into original cottage and allow a slight slope leaving us with minimum of 2.4 internal ceiling height.

Anyone got any recommendations or nightmares to share. Reading up on this is so confusing. It’s a large area and some materials I’ve read about aren’t recommended for large roofs. Ours will be about 17x7 metres.

Thanks.
