Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best flat roofing system for my extension?▼
For domestic extensions, we recommend EPDM for cost-effectiveness and ease of repair, or GRP for maximum durability. Torch-on felt is a budget option. We assess your roof pitch, size, and usage to recommend the optimal system.
How long do flat roofs last?▼
EPDM: 20-25 years. GRP: 25-30 years. Torch-on felt: 15-20 years. Liquid coatings: 10-15 years. Lifespan depends on installation quality, maintenance, and weather exposure. Regular maintenance extends lifespan.
Can I repair my flat roof instead of replacing it?▼
In many cases, yes. If damage is localised (small tears, failed seams), repair is cost-effective. If the membrane is failing across 30%+ of the roof, full replacement is more cost-effective long-term.
Do you install rooflights and Velux windows?▼
Yes. We regularly integrate flat rooflights, roof lanterns, and Velux windows into new flat roofs. All flashing and sealing is included, and the rooflights are fully covered under our guarantee.
Are your flat roofs guaranteed?▼
Yes. Torch-on felt: 20-year guarantee. EPDM: 20-year guarantee. GRP: 25-year guarantee. All guarantees cover materials and labour. Conditions apply (see terms).
What's the typical cost of a flat roof installation?▼
Costs vary by size, system, and access. Extensions typically £3,000-£8,000. Large commercial flat roofs £15,000+. We provide detailed, no-obligation quotes after survey.
