The Flat Roofing Materials We Use
Protan PVC Flat Roofing
Protan PVC is a durable, high-performance flat roofing system with hot-air welded seams for a seamless, watertight finish. Ideal for large roofs and commercial buildings, it offers excellent UV resistance, low maintenance, and reliable weather protection. By far our most recommended and popular flat roofing installation system by far.
EPDM Rubber Roofing
Renowned for resilience, lifespan (up to 40 years), and environmental benefits. We recommend EPDM for extensions, garages, commercial and domestic applications.
GRP/Fibreglass Flat Roofing
Clean, seamless, and attractive, GRP flat roofs are ideal for modern domestic projects and new-builds.
Felt Flat Roofing
Still the best budget solution for garages, garden rooms, porches, and small extensions, felt remains a safe, weather-resistant choice.
Warm Roofs
Upgrade to a warm roof system for year-round comfort and significant energy savings—ideal for living spaces, orangeries, and high-traffic areas.
Flat Roof Installation Process
1
Initial Inspection and Survey
It all begins with a free, no-obligation survey. We’ll visit your property to assess the existing roof, take precise measurements, and evaluate the condition of the underlying materials. From there, we’ll recommend the best roofing system tailored to your needs.
2
Preparation and Old Roof Removal
Next, we carefully remove the old roof, inspect the decking, and replace any damaged or rotten timber. Ensuring a solid structure is essential to prevent future issues.
3
Installing Your New Flat Roof
Finally, we install your chosen flat roofing system—whether EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass, PVC, or felt. Every detail, from edges to outlets and upstands, is finished to the highest standard for a clean, watertight result.

The job itself was quite awkward but they handled it with great care and attention to detail. Their work can only be described as excellent and I would highly recommend them to anybody."

-
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.
