Flat roofs used to mean regular patching. Modern EPDM rubber has changed that: it lasts for decades with very little upkeep, and multi-layer torch-on felt is still a reliable, lower-cost option. We install and repair both across West Yorkshire, including a large commercial flat roof on a pub in Headingley, Leeds.
We work on garage flat roofs, extension flat roofs, porches, outbuildings and commercial properties. Whether you have an existing flat roof that's leaking or are looking to install a new flat roof as part of a building project, we'll assess your requirements and recommend the right system for your budget and situation.
We get the details right: correct falls so water drains, proper edge trims, neat upstands and watertight flashings where the roof meets a wall. The difference between a flat roof that leaks within five years and one that lasts fifty is almost entirely in how it was fitted.
EPDM Rubber
What we recommend first. Flexible, UV resistant, can last 50 years or more, and needs very little maintenance.
Torch-On Felt
Reliable and lower cost. Multi-layer torch-on felt typically lasts 20 to 25 years.
Common Flat Roof Problems We Fix
Most of the flat roof leaks we're called out to follow the same patterns: ponding water that never drains away, blistered or split felt, failed joints and seams, and lifted edge trims or flashings where the roof meets a wall. If you've noticed damp patches on the ceiling below a flat roof, water has usually been getting in for a while, so it's worth having it looked at soon. In many cases a repair is enough; where the covering is past saving, we'll price both options honestly so you can decide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which flat roof system do you recommend?
We recommend EPDM rubber roofing as our first choice: it can last 50 years or more and needs very little maintenance. For budget-conscious projects or where a more traditional approach suits, torch-on felt is a reliable alternative. We'll advise the right system for your specific situation during your free quote.
How long does a flat roof last?
It depends on the system. A well-fitted EPDM rubber roof can last 50 years or more with little maintenance. A torch-on felt system typically lasts 20 to 25 years. Our installations come with a workmanship guarantee, which we explain before work begins.
Can you repair an existing flat roof or does it need replacing?
In many cases, isolated damage can be repaired without a full replacement. However, if a felt or older system is extensively deteriorated, replacement is usually more cost-effective. We'll assess honestly and recommend the right solution.
