Flat Roof Renovation

A flat roof is a roofing system that is almost level. Whilst they are described as flat roofs, they are actually laid with a slight gradient to allow water to drain. These are commonly used for home extensions, garages, commercial buildings, and some contemporary house designs.

We specialise in a GRP (which stands for ‘Glass Reinforced Plastic’) flat roofing systems. GRP is a long lasting, seamless, and watertight solution that offers excellent resistance to weathering and impacts. It requires minimal maintenance and provides a sleek, modern finish, making it the ideal choice for both residential and some commercial properties. Other roofing options include felt roofing, a cost-effective traditional solution that has been widely used for years, and liquid roofing systems, which are mainly used on complex commercial roof shapes or refurbishments

Yes, our GRP roofing system is designed to be long-lasting. With proper installation and regular maintenance, a flat roof can last between 10-30 years, far beyond your 10-year guarantee. Our flat roof system also includes Flexi-grip as standard to replicate the traditional felt chipping look whilst avoiding the patchwork sometimes experienced from smoother roofing systems.

Flat roofs ideal for small extensions or areas with any height restrictions. As the GRP system is laid in liquid form the installation process just requires adequate space for drainage and ventilation.

Most flat roof installations can be completed within a few days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Our designers and surveyors will be able to give you an estimated guide which will be firmed up at time of scheduling your installation by our operations team.

Yes, flat roofs can be insulated. Older flat roofs may lack insulation beneath the decking, while some may have insulation already installed between the rafters. To enhance the roof's thermal efficiency, we always ensure it is fully insulated before replacing the decking. This includes replacing any outdated insulation and adding new insulation where it was missing in the original construction.

Although flat roofs do require regular maintenance to remove debris and check for pooling water, our flat roofs come with a 10-year guarantee, giving you peace of mind for the future.

Yes, our GRP roofing system can be installed in various weather conditions. With the use of specific additives, we can ensure proper curing and performance of the GRP resin even in cold or excessively hot temperatures.

In addition to the most common grey, our GRP roofing system offers a range of other colour options and finishes to suit your preference. Whether you're planning a new conservatory, orangery, or another flat roof extension, we can help tailor the look to suit your needs. Please contact us to discuss the available choices.

Signs that your flat roof may need replacing include leaks, significant cracks and visible deterioration of the roofing materials themselves.

Yes, our flat roofing systems are designed to withstand and go beyond the UK's weather conditions, including heavy rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations.

While some flat roofs can support occasional foot traffic, they are not all designed for regular use as standard. Any roof required to take frequent traffic would need to be reinforced to handle more weight.

A properly installed flat roof should have a slight gradient for water runoff. Additional drainage outlets can enhance drainage efficiency.
