Flat Roofing Systems We Install
EPDM Rubber Roofing
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is our top recommendation for most flat roofs. This synthetic rubber membrane comes in single pieces up to 15m x 50m, meaning most domestic roofs have no joints at all – and no joints means no leak points.
Benefits of EPDM:
- Expected lifespan 50+ years
- Completely waterproof from day one
- Flexible – moves with building without cracking
- UV resistant – won't degrade in sunlight
- Low maintenance – occasional debris clearance is all that's needed
- Environmentally friendly – recyclable at end of life
We're approved installers for leading EPDM systems including Firestone RubberCover and ClassicBond. All installations come with manufacturer-backed warranties.
GRP Fibreglass Roofing
GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) creates a seamless, hard-wearing surface that's ideal for walkable areas and balconies. The fibreglass is laid in liquid form and sets to create a tough, continuous membrane with no joints.
Benefits of GRP:
- Completely seamless finish
- Extremely strong and hard-wearing
- Excellent for balconies and terraces
- Can incorporate anti-slip finishes
- Wide choice of colours
- Expected lifespan 30+ years
GRP requires careful installation with proper preparation, mixing, and application. Our trained installers have extensive experience with fibreglass systems.
Felt Roofing
Modern torch-on felt systems are far superior to the traditional pour-and-roll felts of the past. Multiple layers of high-quality bituminous felt, bonded with heat, create a durable waterproof covering.
Benefits of Felt:
- Cost-effective option
- Proven technology with long track record
- Three-layer systems for maximum durability
- Can be applied over existing felt in some cases
- Expected lifespan 15-25 years
We only use premium felt products and always install three-layer systems for longevity.
Flat Roof Applications
Garage Roofs
The most common flat roof application. We replace thousands of failed garage roofs across Bude with modern systems that will outlast the building itself.
Extension Roofs
Kitchen and bathroom extensions often have flat roofs, sometimes hidden behind a parapet wall. Proper specification and installation are critical to avoid problems.
Dormer Roofs
Dormer windows create additional living space but their flat tops are exposed to weather. We install systems designed for this challenging application.
Balconies and Terraces
Walkable flat roofs need systems that combine waterproofing with durability under foot traffic. GRP is usually the best choice.
Porch Roofs
Small flat roofs over porches and bay windows. Often neglected but critical for protecting entrance areas.
Flat Roof Repairs
We also repair existing flat roofs when full replacement isn't necessary:
- Patch repairs to damaged felt
- Sealing splits and cracks
- Reflashing upstands and edges
- Clearing and resealing outlets
- Emergency temporary repairs
We'll always give honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
