EPDM, GRP or felt — done right

Flat roofs get a bad name mostly because they're badly fitted, not because the systems themselves are unreliable. A correctly installed EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or felt roof, with proper falls to shed water, should give you years of trouble-free cover. We work in all three, and we'll tell you honestly which one suits your roof rather than pushing whichever we happen to have in the van.

Which material suits your roof

  • EPDM rubber

    A single rubber membrane with very few joints, so very few places for a leak to start. Flexible in cold weather and typically the longest-lasting of the three.

  • GRP fibreglass

    A hard, seamless fibreglass layer, tough underfoot and a good fit for roofs that get walked on, like balconies and roof terraces.

  • Felt (built-up or torch-on)

    The traditional option, still a solid choice on smaller roofs like porches and extensions when it's installed with enough layers and proper detailing at the edges.

How it works

  1. Free survey

    We look at the size, falls and condition of the existing roof before recommending anything.

  2. Straight recommendation

    EPDM, GRP or felt, whichever actually suits your roof, with a clear, no-obligation quote.

  3. Proper installation

    Correct falls, upstands and edge trims, not just a membrane rolled out and glued down.

  4. Aftercare

    If anything's not right after the job, you call Mike directly, not a call centre.

Flat roofing questions

Which flat roofing material is best?

It depends on the roof. EPDM rubber generally lasts the longest and has the fewest joints; GRP fibreglass is the toughest underfoot for a roof terrace or balcony; felt is a reasonable, cost-effective choice on smaller roofs when it's fitted well. We'll recommend based on the size, use and condition of your specific roof, not a one-size-fits-all answer.

How long does a flat roof last?

A well-installed flat roof with correct falls, so water doesn't pool, should last well for many years regardless of material. Most flat roof failures come down to poor installation or standing water, not the material itself.
