Flat Roofing
EPDM rubber, fibreglass GRP and felt flat roofing for extensions, garages and commercial properties.
About Our Flat Roofing Service
Modern flat roofing systems are far more durable and long-lasting than the old felt that gave flat roofs a bad reputation. Fibreglass GRP is a common specification for residential flat roofs — a seamless, rigid surface built to resist UV, ponding water, foot traffic and root intrusion. Where flexibility is needed, EPDM rubber membrane is a market-leading option used on buildings of all kinds. Felt remains a genuine option for heritage properties and temporary structures where a like-for-like replacement makes sense. Whichever covering is chosen, proper drainage design, correct fall configuration and careful perimeter edge detailing are what actually determine whether a flat roof lasts — getting the fall wrong is the single biggest cause of an early flat-roof failure.

Flat Roofing — Frequently Asked Questions
A properly installed fibreglass GRP roof is a long-lasting, low-maintenance option — unlike felt, it's fully seamless so there are no joints to fail. EPDM rubber is the flexible alternative and performs well across a wide range of building types. A local roofer will recommend the right one for your specific roof at survey.
In many cases yes, but it needs assessment of the roof structure, planning advice, and an appropriate surface specification such as paving on pedestals over a protected membrane. A local roofer can advise on the planning process as well as the roofing itself.
It usually indicates the felt has delaminated and moisture is trapped beneath — a sign the roof is nearing or past the end of its serviceable life and should be surveyed as soon as possible to prevent water ingress.
