A flat roof needs a complete system
A flat roof is more than its visible membrane. Decking, falls, insulation, trims, outlets and junctions all need to work together so rainwater drains away and the building stays protected.
We install flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers, porches, balconies and commercial premises. After checking the existing structure and access, we recommend a system that suits the building, the roof shape and the expected use.
Our approach is to remove or properly assess failed layers rather than simply covering a rotten deck. That gives you a better opportunity to solve ponding, condensation and recurring leaks at the source.
Know the warning signs
Signs a flat roof needs replacing
If you recognise one of these issues, an early inspection can help protect the rest of the roof and the rooms below it.
Persistent ponding
Standing water adds weight and exposes the membrane to prolonged moisture. It can also reveal inadequate falls, blocked outlets or movement in the deck.
Bubbling, splitting or loose edges
Blisters and open joints allow water beneath the covering. A small split can become a much larger failure after repeated temperature changes.
Cold rooms or condensation
An old cold roof may have insufficient insulation or ventilation. A correctly designed warm roof can make the space more comfortable and efficient.
How we help
Flat roofing systems we install
Our experienced team gives you practical advice and workmanship suited to the property, the roof construction and the problem found.
EPDM rubber roofing
A flexible, durable membrane with carefully sealed edges and penetrations, suitable for many domestic and commercial flat roof applications.
Built-up felt roofing
Modern multi-layer felt systems provide a robust, cost-effective finish for suitable roof shapes when installed with precise detailing.
Warm roof insulation
Where appropriate, we incorporate rigid insulation above the deck so the roof can deliver better thermal performance and reduce condensation risk.
Drainage and edge details
We plan outlets, falls, trims, flashings and abutments as part of the whole installation rather than treating them as afterthoughts.
Honest local advice
Why early flat roof replacement can save disruption
Water trapped below a flat roof covering can damage the deck and insulation long before a leak is obvious. Acting when you see blistering, ponding or internal damp gives you more choices and helps protect the room below.

Helpful answers
Flat Roofs FAQs
Which flat roof material is best for an extension?
There is no single best material for every extension. We consider the roof size, shape, access, existing construction, insulation requirements and budget before recommending EPDM, felt or another suitable system.
Can you insulate a flat roof during replacement?
Yes, many replacements are a good opportunity to install a warm roof build-up with rigid insulation. We will explain the available options and any effect on roof height or detailing.
How do you deal with standing water on a flat roof?
We investigate the falls, deck, outlets and membrane. Depending on the cause, the solution may be drainage maintenance, local correction or a redesigned roof build-up.
