Flat roofs work hard: water sits on them longer, sunlight degrades them faster, and older felt systems in particular have a limited life. The good news is that modern flat roofing, properly installed with correct falls and detailing, is a different class of product from the felt roofs of thirty years ago.
We repair and replace flat roofs on extensions, garages, bays, porches, dormers and commercial buildings across the Midlands.

Common questions about flat roofing
Repair or replace a leaking flat roof?
If the covering is generally sound and the failure is local — a split at an upstand, a failed joint — a repair is worthwhile. If the covering is at the end of its life, patching becomes throwing good money after bad. We inspect and give you a straight answer with prices for both where sensible.
How long does a flat roof last?
It varies greatly by system and installation quality. Older felt roofs often managed 10–15 years; modern systems installed correctly can last several decades. Detailing and drainage matter as much as the material.
Can you insulate a flat roof while replacing it?
Yes — replacement is the ideal time to bring insulation up to modern standards, and building regulations often require it. We will include this in your quotation.
