Claire Eason Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hi, we have been getting quotes for our house from various different suppliers. We have Single Ply quotes which were expensive including installation and then we got a Tata Steel quote supply only which was cheaper. But we cannot use Tata Steel on the whole roof as we need 5 degree slope and it we cannot have that much slope on the kitchen and roof terrace so we need to use the Single Ply. So we are wondering if we could also install the single ply as well. Has anyone tried to install Sika Sarnafil and is there a course you can take like tata steel which gives you the warranty. Or are there other Single Ply anyone has tried and installed on their own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I have used some of the rubber stuff, but only on a garage. I did it on my own but it would have been much easier with two. There are some here who have installed fibreglass (in bone dry conditions) with great success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Eason Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Hi Mr Punter Thank you for the reply. There will be two of us but have decided against the Rubber option for the main roof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidFrancis Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I helped to install a rubber roof on a shed. It was very straightforward. It was a ClassicBond EPDM membrane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWB Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I guess this also brings up the question of "is there any difference between the different single-ply membranes?" Our architect is keen on Bauder or Sika-sanafil, but they are eye-wateringly expensive compared to others available from general suppliers. Is there any difference? (I'm Claire's partner in the build above BTW - so the other one of the "two of us" she mentioned...! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvincentd Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Compared to what others? I have both sarna and bauder roofs. Quotes ranged from £56K to £34k all by suppliers on sika's approved list, for exactly the same job (the spec is supplied by sika and then the roofing co' execute it, using most likely whichever freelancer they found available that held the appropriate ticket to work with that material). So i'd say get multiple quotes as it seems price fluctuates wildly with motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
