Which is best — GRP, EPDM or felt?
For a roof you will walk on or want the longest rigid finish, GRP fibreglass is excellent. For a large, simple roof installed quickly with minimal joints, EPDM rubber is hard to beat. Felt remains a reliable, lower-cost option. We recommend based on your specific roof, not a one-size-fits-all answer.
How long does a flat roof last?
Modern GRP and EPDM systems commonly last 25–30 years or more; quality torch-on felt typically 15–20 years. Correct falls and drainage are the biggest factors in longevity.
Why does my flat roof keep leaking?
Usually because water is ponding due to poor falls, or because an old felt covering has cracked or blistered. We correct the falls and fit a modern membrane rather than patching repeatedly.
Can you insulate the flat roof at the same time?
Yes — we can upgrade the insulation to meet current Building Regulations as part of a re-cover, improving warmth and reducing energy bills.
How long does a typical garage roof take?
Around two days. For garage roofs locally we most often fit EPDM rubber — quick to install, minimal joints and a long service life.
Is a new flat roof guaranteed?
Yes — our workmanship is covered by our written 15-year guarantee, on top of the manufacturer warranty for the membrane system fitted.
Who fits the roof — your team or subcontractors?
Always our own directly employed team. The quote, the work and the guarantee all come from the same people.
