Why Flat Roofs Matter
Flat roofs are increasingly common in modern extensions, garages, loft conversions and commercial buildings. However, they require specialist installation and maintenance to perform effectively. Without proper materials, drainage or workmanship, flat roofs can suffer leaks, ponding water, insulation issues and reduced lifespan. By choosing the right system and a reputable roofing contractor like us, you ensure your flat roof remains watertight and low-maintenance for years to come.
Flat Roofing Systems We Offer
We understand that no two flat roofs are the same. That’s why we offer a range of proven systems to suit different budgets, building types and usage.
An economical and time-tested choice, multi-layer felt (often torch-on) systems are still widely used for smaller flat roofs, garages and outbuildings. They provide adequate protection when installed with care and offer a cost-effective solution for less complex roofs.
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber roofing is highly durable, flexible and ideal for longer-term performance. It comes in large sheets, requires fewer seams (reducing leak risk), and performs well under movement and temperature changes.
GRP systems deliver a seamless, joint-free finish with excellent weatherproofing and very low maintenance. They are especially suited to more complex roof shapes or where a high-quality finish is required.
Depending on the project we may also consider single-ply membranes (PVC/TPO), modified bitumen systems or green roof overlays. Each has pros and cons in terms of cost, lifespan and suitability — and we’ll advise you clearly on what fits your property best.
Our Flat Roof Installation & Repair Services
- New flat roof installations – for extensions, domestic garages, commercial units or refurbishments, we design and install the correct system for your building.
- Flat roof repairs – from minor leaks, blistering, ponding water, membrane damage or failed flashings, we diagnose the issue and restore the roof’s integrity.
- Flat roof overlays / re-covering – if the existing structure is still sound, we may recommend an overlay or re-covering instead of full build-up replacement to save cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most domestic flat roofs are completed within a few days, weather and access permitting. Larger or more complex projects may require longer. We will provide a clear timeframe once the survey is complete.
Yes — where the roof structure and substrate remain sound, we may recommend repairs or re-covering rather than full replacement, which can be more cost-effective. We’ll always provide options and our recommendation.
Flat roofs typically require more careful detailing and drainage, but when installed correctly with quality materials and proper maintenance they can perform for many years with minimal intervention. Regular inspections help prolong lifespan.
Leaks often occur where the detailing or drainage is poor — for example around upstands, flashings, skirting walls or drainage points. Incorrect falls (leading to ponding), damaged membrane or wear around joints can also lead to water ingress. That’s why quality installation is critical.
It depends on your needs and budget. GRP fibreglass offers excellent durability, EPDM rubber is cost-effective and low-maintenance, and felt roofing remains a reliable choice for smaller roofs. We’ll help you choose the right option.
