Costs associated with flat roofing are historically considered to be less costly than a more permanent pitched roof option. Over recent years this perceived differential has become much less; partly through the increased cost of the required specification of a flat roof and partly through the innovative and cost effective methods of creating a pitched roof.

Add to this the increased on going cost of the repair and maintenance of a flat roof continually open to the elements and increased risk of failure. It becomes apparent as shown by the table of the life cycle costs above, that the best option from the outset and through the life of the building will always be a pitched roof conversion.

Datum Systems Systems can offer guidance and advice on achieving the most cost effective solution with the support of a team of dedicated technical staff. This support is offered from advice at feasibility stage through project management to satisfactory completion and handover.
