Flat roofing, laid to last.

High performance GRP fibreglass and modified bitumen flat roofing across Kent, laid seamless and finished with proper upstands, trims and falls. The days of a felt roof failing after five years are long gone, and a flat roof done right now outlives the extension underneath it.

What’s included

Advanced Flat Roofing done properly.

GRP Fibreglass

A single seamless layer with no joints to split, bonded straight to the deck and finished in a hard-wearing topcoat.

Modified Bitumen

Torch-on systems built up in layers, still the right answer on larger roofs and where the detail calls for it.

Falls & Drainage

Decks firred to fall so water runs off to the outlet instead of ponding in the middle of the roof.

Upstands, Trims & Skylights

Edges trimmed, upstands dressed and skylight kerbs formed and sealed so the weak points are the strongest part.

Questions

Straight answers, no waffle.

How long does a fibreglass flat roof last?

A properly laid GRP roof on a sound deck should give you decades of service rather than years, because there are no seams or laps to open up. The deck underneath matters as much as the covering, which is why we check it before quoting.

Can you go over the existing flat roof?

Occasionally, but usually not. Old felt is often holding water and a soft deck will not carry a new covering. We take a look, tell you honestly whether the deck needs replacing, and price it either way.

Why does my flat roof hold water in the middle?

The falls are wrong or the deck has sagged. Ponding water finds every weakness eventually, so when we re-cover a roof we firr the deck to a fall so it drains to the outlet properly.

Can you fit a skylight while you are up there?

Yes. Forming and sealing a skylight upstand is a normal part of a flat roof job for us, and it is far cheaper to do at the same time as the covering than to cut one in later.

Is a flat roof noisy in heavy rain?

Not with a bonded GRP or built-up system on a solid deck. The noise people remember is usually from thin, loose or blown coverings that have started to lift.
