About This Service
Flat Roofs Done Right
Every flat roof project starts with a detailed site survey and measured levels, with photos sent by WhatsApp so you see the issue clearly. Our three-step process covers design and material choice to suit the building and budget, professional installation ensuring correct falls, drainage and insulation, then a tidy handover backed by a 12 month guarantee. With 23 years in the trade and Federation of Master Builders accreditation, we deliver reliable, insured workmanship and same-day response for urgent leaks.
Our Process
How It Works
Survey and Photos
We carry out a measured site survey, check falls and outlets, and send photos by WhatsApp so you can see the condition first hand.
Design and Material Selection
We recommend felt, EPDM or single ply based on lifespan, access and budget, and specify drainage, insulation and upstand details for a weatherproof finish.
Install, Inspect and Handover
Our team installs to industry detail, tests outlets, cleans the area and issues a tidy handover with care instructions and a 12 month workmanship guarantee.

Materials and detailing that suit your roof. Flat roofs need the right system for the building type, from traditional felt on low-risk garden rooms to long-life EPDM or single ply on extensions and commercial roofs. We specify correct falls and outlets so water drains away, and add insulation or vapour barriers where required to prevent condensation and heat loss.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Material choice depends on access, roof size and budget. EPDM offers long life and low maintenance, single ply is good for larger or commercial roofs, and modern felt systems suit smaller domestic projects. We assess your roof and recommend the most cost effective, durable option.
