Flat Roof Terraces: Creating Additional Outdoor Space

For many homeowners, space is not a luxury. During the summer months a lack of outdoor space can often restrict your options when it comes to developing a garden and enjoying the glorious weather. Well you may be interested to know that it is possible to develop a flat roof terrace onto just about any flat roof, allowing you to create the perfect roof balcony and increase the outdoor space available to you. If you are considering a roof terrace for your property, there are a number of benefits that may help you to make your decision. These include:

• No-fuss Outdoor Space: For those homeowners who do not have the luxury of a garden, a roof terrace offers you the space to enjoy the fresh air, without having to worry about mowing the lawn or taking care of fallen leaves.
• Planning Permission: In many instances planning permission for a roof terrace is not necessary. Permission may be necessary if your property overlooks your neighbours, but in all instances we can offer you the necessary advice.
• Designed To Suit You Taste: Your roof terrace is an opportunity to wow your friends and neighbours. With a range of options available to you, it is possible to create a style that meets your design tastes and blends seamlessly with the rest of your property.

Additional Value One of the biggest advantages to installing any roof terrace is the additional value that will be added to your property. In built up urban areas the extra living space created by a roof terrace can be a massive selling point, as explained by Anthony Jevins of agents Jackon-Stops & Staff. “It’s a big plus. People buying a townhouse or apartment are often young and have moved from a much larger parental home. They want fresh air but not the hassle of a garden. A terrace will be a bonus, as well as a nice place to have a beer in the sun.” - Anthony Jevins, Jackson-Stops & Staff. It is estimated that a roof terrace can add an additional 10-20% to the value of your home, but it is also worth considering the extra savings you could potentially make on your energy bills from the additional insulation that will be generated from a new flat roofing system.
