Revamping a roof terrace

4 years ago

This is a job that we carried out recently for a client in Hampstead, London. Her roof terrace's wooden deck boards were warped and rotten - see image below - and we were asked to turn this space into something attractive and modern.

We achieved this using grey composite decking and a glass/stainless steel balustrade system. We also provided bespoke design plans and installed the materials ourselves - what do you think of the transformation?

I think it's lovely and that it looks like a perfect spot for a glass of vino (or juice...)!

Hi there - yes, I'm aware of these restrictions and the solicitor is handing this as part of the negotiation. Yet another obstacle to navigate! The other interesting thing to note is that the contract T&Cs include a mandatory fee payable to the service management company for answering any queries relating to future resale of the property. This is a hefty fixed % of the agreed sale price. I gather that the fees charged by service management companies to leaseholders are currently under review - we should all have our say in this. BTW, Luciana, I agree developers do need to be more flexible and responsive. One would hope that trained architects and builders would be pleased that real people are actually going to live in the buildings they create, and not leave them empty like the dark, uninhabited desolation of large swathes of prime central London.

How to make an asphalt roof into a terrace?
Q
Comments (6)
Hi Eggnog, There is a liquid applied product called Kemperol which can be painted over existing asphalt roof finishes, and then this will give you a new roof waterproofing warranty, and can also allow paving slabs/stones to be affixed. I believe it needs a binder and a sand 'dusting' on top of the finish before the slabs are laid. One other quick point - presumably this is already a roof terrace? There may be planning implications otherwise ....

Roof terrace advice needed!

We're in the middle of our roof terrace project. It gets the sun all day so we really need some shade up there when it's all finished. I would appreciate any ideas for this as I'm a bit lost and my husband and I can't agree on what to do at the moment! I'd like something which won't take up much space as we will have planters, built in benches and a bar/BBQ area already up there. Appreciate any advice! Thanks.

A roof terrace 113square metres above luxe apartments
Q
Comments (5)
The previous message I sent was incomplete ....went in error... We have a roof terrace 113 square meters above a development of ten new build luxury apartments. Could you suggest a layout in terms of decking, planters, screening, seating etc. We want 2 separate seating areas ( placed on the decking ) and the remaining area to consist of various types of planters or large troughs, and a walkway in flag stones with perhaps decorative pebbles.? Any ideas to make it look interesting and attractive and a sort of sectioning off of the 2 areas of seating? Thanks

Fabulous. I have just been extolling the virtues of composite decking elsewhere on Houzz. Which did you use for this project?

What was the existing roof covering? Fibreglass makes the ultimate water protection and strong enough to withstand the weight of the over decking..

What a fantastic spot to enjoy any time of the day or year. Especially in a cosy chair.

I can feel a nice cool glass of wine calling me :)
