Mineral-finish flat roofsReliable roofing service
Flat roofing done the way it should be.
Our flat roofs are built on proven systems: a three-layer torch-on felt with a mineral cap sheet, or a single-piece EPDM rubber membrane. Both give dependable waterproofing and long service life when they're installed properly, and that's where we come in.
We prepare the deck correctly, bond every layer fully and detail edges, upstands and outlets with care, because that's where flat roofs usually fail.

Both are excellent when installed properly. The right choice depends on your roof, budget and how you use the space. We'll recommend one when we visit.

FAQ
Questions we're often asked.
Can't see your question? Call us on 01942 316332. We're always happy to talk a roof through.
Is felt or rubber better for a flat roof?
Both are excellent when installed properly. Torch-on felt is robust and comes in a choice of finishes; EPDM rubber is a single seamless sheet with very low maintenance. We'll recommend the best fit after seeing your roof.
How long does a flat roof take to replace?
Most domestic flat roofs, such as garages and extensions, take a day or two, weather permitting. Larger or commercial roofs take longer. We'll give you a clear timeframe with your quote.
Can you replace the flat roof on my garage or extension?
Yes. Garages, extensions, dormers and bay roofs are among the most common flat roofs we replace.
