GRP Fibreglass Roofing
A seamless, modern system built for durability and performance.
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) fibreglass roofing is a high-performance flat roofing solution ideal for extensions, garages, and smaller roof areas. It forms a completely sealed, joint-free surface that eliminates common weak points where leaks can occur.
Unlike traditional felt systems, GRP does not rely on bitumen or layered materials. Instead, it uses a reinforced resin that creates a tough, long-lasting finish. It can be applied to both new builds and existing roofs, offering a clean, modern appearance with minimal maintenance.
EPDM Rubber Roofing
Flexible, weather-resistant roofing designed to stand the test of time.
EPDM rubber roofing is a highly durable and versatile option, widely used for its excellent resistance to weathering, UV exposure, and temperature changes.
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) provides outstanding waterproofing and insulation. It is odourless, stable, and built to last for decades. Its flexibility allows it to adapt to different roof shapes, making it suitable for a wide range of domestic and commercial applications.
Felt Flat Roofing
A traditional and cost-effective solution for smaller roofing projects.
Felt roofing remains one of the most widely used flat roofing materials. Made from bitumen combined with mineral-based materials, it is installed using heat to create a strong, protective layer.
This system is commonly used for garages, sheds, extensions, and roof terraces. It offers reliable performance at an affordable price.
Felt roofs typically have a lifespan of 10–15 years. We install high-quality felt roofing systems with a 10-year guarantee, giving you confidence in your investment.
Our Flat Roofing FAQs
Common questions about flat roof installation, materials, and lifespan.
How long does a flat roof last?
The lifespan of a flat roof depends on the material used. Felt roofs typically last around 10–15 years, while GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber roofs can last 20–30 years or more when installed correctly and maintained properly.
Are flat roofs prone to leaks?
Modern flat roofing systems are designed to be fully watertight. Materials like GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber create seamless or near-seamless finishes, which significantly reduce the risk of leaks when installed by experienced professionals.
Which flat roofing system is best?
The best system depends on your property and budget. GRP fibreglass is ideal for a seamless, long-lasting finish. EPDM rubber is excellent for flexibility and durability, while felt is a more affordable option for smaller projects. We can advise on the most suitable choice for your roof.
Can you install a flat roof on a garage or extension?
Yes, flat roofs are commonly used for garages, extensions, garden rooms, and outbuildings. They are a practical and cost-effective solution for smaller structures as well as larger properties.
Do flat roofs require maintenance?
Flat roofs are generally low maintenance, especially modern systems like GRP and EPDM. However, it’s still recommended to have occasional inspections to ensure drainage is clear and the surface remains in good condition.
How much does a flat roof cost?
The cost of a flat roof varies depending on the size, material, and complexity of the installation. Felt roofs are typically the most affordable, while GRP and EPDM offer longer lifespans and greater durability. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your project.
Can a flat roof be repaired or does it need replacing?
In many cases, flat roofs can be repaired if the damage is minor. However, if the roof is older or has widespread issues, a full replacement may be the more cost-effective long-term solution.
Do you offer guarantees on flat roofing?
Yes, we provide guarantees on our flat roofing systems for your peace of mind. The length of the guarantee will depend on the material used, with felt roofs typically supplied with a 10-year guarantee.
