Flat roof patio specialists, Perth and Peel. Every guide below is written from the work itself.
Most patio builders in Perth will build whatever shape you ask for. Flat is the one we have specialised in, and that focus is deliberate rather than a limitation.
It is also why these guides exist. A flat roof has a short list of ways it can go wrong, and the same questions come up at almost every site measure. The answers are written down here so you can read them before you ring anyone.
Every figure quoted across these guides comes from the business itself or from a published source named on the page. Where we cannot evidence something, we say so instead of rounding it up.
