Key point that! My mum had the garage re-roofed years ago. She replaced a flat felt roof with a tile apex roof but the angle of the roof was too shallow and leaked terribly when rain hit it at a certain angle. Worse than flat roof. Given the number of flat roof extensions constructed on Amazing Homes and Grand Designs, the technology must have improved over the years but location and exposure is key.. Roof is at a slight angle to allow water run-off.
Hi All,
Just had a preliminary quote from a company for a full renovation and extension to our four bed house in south dublin. The quote was from a reputable company and actually came in lower than expected as i always deemed this particular company to be high price from looking at previous projects they have done in the city.
As part of the quote i noticed they are charging €1,210 for hoarding and signage - Is this something the client must avail of by law in order to keep neighbouring properties free from dirt ? I always assumed builders put these up as form of advertising and they client doesn't foot the bill.
Also they have quoted €6500 for painting which seems excessive....would anyone know if this is now the standard rate ? Im do want an high quality finish so had around the €4k mark in my mind.
Finally they are pushing for a flat roof for the extension as opposed to an apex which the neighbouring property has. They say it will flow much better internally using this type of roof however i am concerned about the quality of lfat roof having heard horror stories down through the years. If given the choice is opting for a traditional apex always preferable ?

The hoarding and signage is to separate the construction site from the general public and restrict access. It needs to be done for various reasons and the fact that they have itemised it on the quote is a really good sign.
If that was me , apologies. I obviously mis clicked something or didn't notice if I had made some kind of error.
