Flat roofs offer a variety of architectural and practical benefits:
Maximise Usable Space: Enjoy the option of adding living or green roof features, roof lanterns, skylights, or solar panels.

Types of Flat Roofing We Install (EPDM, Felt, GRP, Rubber, PVC Protan)
Every property is unique, so we offer a range of advanced flat roof systems, each with its own strengths:
Protan PVC Flat Roofing
A durable, high-performance flat roofing system, Protan PVC membranes are hot-air welded for a seamless, watertight finish. Ideal for larger flat roofs, extensions, and commercial buildings, they offer excellent UV resistance, low maintenance, and long-term reliability in all weather conditions.
EPDM Rubber Flat Roofs
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber roofing is a premium solution popular for its strength, flexibility, and industry-leading lifespan—often exceeding 40 years. It’s seamless, highly water-resistant, and ideal for garages, extensions, and commercial units in Essex.
GRP/Fibreglass Flat Roofs
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is also known as fibreglass roofing. This system is renowned for being tough, seamless, and highly resistant to weather, UV light, and foot traffic. GRP flat roofs are perfect for homeowners looking for an attractive, long-term solution with minimal maintenance.
Felt Flat Roofing
A time-tested, cost-effective solution, modern felt roofs use multi-layer systems and torch-on technology to deliver improved lifespan and resistance to weather. Suitable for sheds, outbuildings, porches, and smaller flat roof projects.
Warm Roof Construction
Warm roofs provide an extra layer of insulation above the roof joists, reducing heat loss and condensation for improved comfort and lower heating bills. Ask us about warm flat roof upgrades to enhance energy efficiency!

What flat roofing system do you recommend?
While there are many various flat roofing solutions available, our uPVC single-ply membrane stands out for its exceptional durability, high quality, and long-term value.
Other options, like traditional felt, GRP (fibreglass), and EPDM (rubber), may have lower upfront costs, but they tend to lack the same longevity or ease of maintenance which is recommended for customers.
Traditional Mineral Felt: Common on older properties, felt roofing is one of the least expensive options, but it typically has a shorter lifespan and is more vulnerable to cracking and leaks.
GRP (Fibreglass): Though more durable, fibreglass roofing can crack over time, especially in extreme temperature conditions.
EPDM (Rubber): While popular, rubber roofing can shrink as it ages, leading to potential leaks and gaps.
On the other hand, our uPVC membranes, like Protan, offer outstanding performance, durability, and minimal upkeep.
They are widely used in commercial buildings and our roofing systems are known for their reliability and longevity, making them a superior choice compared to felt, GRP, and EPDM.
While our roofing solutions may not be the least expensive initially, they provide exceptional long-term value when considering durability, maintenance, and overall quality.
-
Does my flat roofing need regular maintenance and upkeep?
One of the key benefits of our uPVC flat roofing systems is their near-zero customer maintenance.
Unlike traditional felt or fibreglass flat roofs, which may require regular inspections and ongoing repairs, our uPVC membranes are built to last the test of time with minimal upkeep. This is how we're able to offer a lifetime 20 year guarantee.
They are also solar-reflective, meaning they are resistant to the damaging effects of sunlight and won’t degrade over time.
This makes them such a great option for homes exposed to strong sunlight and for homeowners who want a low-maintenance roofing solution that's hasstle free and backed by a lifetime guarantee.
-
How long will my new flat roof last?
Modern systems last 20-40+ years depending on use and material.
-
Can you install a flat roof on a conservatory or orangery?
Yes, we provide flat roof solutions for orangeries, conservatories, and home extensions, including insulated warm roofs.
