Hi. Have you had any luck with this problem? I have exactly the same noise issue, and the supplier so far has not been able to fix it. The noise is incredible inside the house, but not so bad on the roof itself. It is all caused by changes in temperature.I had the extension built 2 years ago and opted for fibre glass instead of felt roofing because it has a longer life span.Trouble is i am getting the most unbelievably loud banging noises coming from it.The manufacturers ,Topseal, have been of little help and I cant find much on the net.
Apparently its to do with different expansion and contraction between the wooden structure and the fibre glass as it heats and cools down.Now i dont know whether my roof is at risk but what i do know is that if i ever choose to sell this house i may have problem doing so because of the noise.I just wonder if anyone has any experience of this kind of roofing and any suggestions
Hi. I also have an Everest roof, fitted in 2010, and have the same problem. they have visited several times but don't seem to know what the answer is. They have tried a few things, but nothing has worked. What have they suggested to you? Does the manager come from the St Albans depot?It is nice to see that someone else is having trouble with a noisy flat roof. I thought I was alone. We have recently built an extension with a flat roof and decided to get Everest to fit a fibreglass roof. Whenever the sun comes out, very loud bangs occur in the walls and ceiling. It eventually settles, but starts up again when the sun goes down again. The noise is so loud that it gives us a fright when it starts and makes the dog go mad barking. I am now waiting for the manager from Everest and their surveyor to call soon. I will let you know what they say.
spoke to a technician from Topseal

They don't have any.
Hello donmaico, I am having the same noise issues and my roof was painted white yesterday in the hope that this would fix the problem.I know of no remedy,all you can do is try what has been suggested eg with the extra weight.topseal I presume only warranty cover is for water ingress.
avoiding water ingress is the main factor of course, but to someone who has little or no knowledge of building industry each loud bang sounds like the roof is giving way albeit gradually
