What we do

Our flat roofing services include

Materials

The right flat roof system for your property

EPDM Rubber

A seamless, single-piece rubber membrane that resists UV and weather, with a long service life and minimal maintenance.

GRP Fibreglass

A tough, seamless fibreglass system with a hard-wearing finish, ideal for balconies, dormers and high-traffic flat roofs.

Felt (Torch-on)

A proven, cost-effective multi-layer system that gives a reliable, watertight finish when professionally installed.

Compare the systems

EPDM vs GRP fibreglass vs felt, at a glance

Every flat roof is different. Here is how the three main systems compare, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

SystemTypical lifespanBest forWhy homeowners choose it
EPDM rubber25-30 yearsExtensions, garages, larger flat roofsOne seamless rubber sheet with very few joints, so very few places to leak. Low maintenance and stays flexible in cold weather.
GRP fibreglass25-30 yearsBalconies, dormers, walk-on roofsA hard, seamless finish that handles foot traffic and can be laid in a colour. Ideal where the roof is on show or walked on.
Felt (torch-on)10-20 yearsBudget re-roofs, sheds, outbuildingsThe most cost-effective option. Modern three-layer torch-on felt is far tougher than the old pour-and-roll felt it replaced.

Not sure which is right for your property? We inspect your existing roof, explain the options in plain English and recommend the system that gives you the best value over its lifetime, never just the most expensive one.

Flat roof cost

How much does a new flat roof cost?

A flat roof is priced on its size, the system you choose, access to the roof, and whether the old covering or any rotten timber needs removing first. As a rough guide for the South East:

JobTypical systemIndicative guide price
Single garage roof (approx. 15m²)Felt or EPDM£1,500 - £3,000
Rear extension (approx. 20-30m²)EPDM or GRP£2,500 - £5,500
Dormer or balconyGRP fibreglass£1,800 - £4,000
Larger or commercial flat roofEPDM or feltPriced on survey

Repair or replace?

Signs your flat roof needs attention

A flat roof rarely fails overnight. Spotting these early usually means a straightforward repair rather than a full replacement:

  • Ponding water that still sits on the roof a day or two after rain
  • Bubbling, blistering or splits in the covering
  • Water stains appearing on the ceiling or walls below
  • Cracked or lifting seams, especially on older felt roofs
  • Green algae or moss holding damp against the surface
  • The roof is 15 to 20 years old or more and still on its original covering

We will tell you honestly whether a targeted repair will see you right or whether a re-roof is the better long-term value. No scare tactics, no upselling, just a straight answer with photos.

Flat roofing FAQs

Your questions, answered

What's the best type of flat roofing material? +
We offer EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt roofing, each chosen for durability and waterproofing. The best option depends on your roof size, use and budget, and we will advise at the free inspection.
How do I know if my flat roof needs replacing? +
Common signs include ponding water, cracks, leaks or general wear and tear over 15 to 20 years. We will inspect it and show you photos so you can make an informed decision.
How long does it take to install a new flat roof? +
Most flat roofs can be installed within 1 to 3 days, depending on the size and material.
Will a flat roof require frequent maintenance? +
Flat roofs need regular inspections to clear debris and ensure proper drainage, but modern systems are designed for long-term reliability.
Can you overlay a new flat roof on my existing one? +
In some cases, yes, but we will assess the condition first to make sure an overlay is the best option for you.
Is a flat roof more prone to leaks than a pitched roof? +
With correct installation and maintenance, modern flat roofs are just as watertight as pitched roofs.
How much does a new flat roof cost? +
As a rough guide for the South East, a single garage roof is around £1,500 to £3,000 and a typical rear extension £2,500 to £5,500, depending on the system, the size and access. We give a free, fixed written quote after inspecting your roof, with no call-out charge.
How long does an EPDM or GRP flat roof last? +
Modern EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass systems typically last 25 to 30 years when installed correctly, well beyond older felt. Every flat roof we install is backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Do I need building regulations for a new flat roof? +
If more than about a quarter of the roof is being replaced, the work usually has to meet current building regulations, mainly for insulation and drainage. We take care of this as part of the job so your new roof is fully compliant.
Can you repair a flat roof leak in winter? +
Yes. We carry out emergency and permanent flat roof repairs all year round. We will make your roof watertight quickly, then complete any permanent work once it has been fully assessed.
