Flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers and porches take a lot of punishment. Because older felt roofs eventually blister, crack and pond with water, leaks can develop fast once they start.

The system underneath often decides how long a flat roof lasts. An old pour-and-roll felt roof will need attention sooner than a modern EPDM or GRP one, even at a similar age.

We install and repair flat roofs across Reading and the Thames Valley using the three systems that actually last: torch-on felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass. Each has its place, and we recommend the right one for the size, use and budget of your roof.

A properly installed EPDM or GRP flat roof can last decades with very little upkeep, a world away from the old felt roofs it replaces. Since your new roof is an investment worth protecting, we fully insure and guarantee every installation we carry out.

Not sure which material suits your roof? Our guide to felt, EPDM and GRP flat roof options compares them side by side, since each has a different cost and lifespan worth weighing up.

Frequently asked questions

What types of flat roof do you install? +
We install torch-on felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass flat roofs. Which is best depends on the roof — we'll explain the options and recommend the right one for your property and budget.
How long does a flat roof last? +
A quality EPDM or GRP flat roof can last 25 to 40 years or more with little maintenance. Modern torch-on felt systems typically last 15 to 25 years — far longer than the old pour-and-roll felt they replace.
Can a flat roof be repaired, or does it need replacing? +
Small, localised damage can often be repaired. But if the roof is old, widely blistered or ponding, a full replacement is usually better value than repeated patching. We'll give you an honest assessment.
What is an EPDM rubber roof? +
EPDM is a single-ply rubber membrane laid in one piece, so there are very few joints to fail. It's flexible, UV-stable and extremely long-lasting, which makes it ideal for extensions, garages and dormers.
Do you guarantee flat roofing work? +
Yes — all flat roof installations are fully insured and come with a workmanship guarantee.
