Roofing

Flat Roofing

Garage and extension flat roofs.

Garages, extensions and porches mostly wear flat roofs, and a tired flat roof is one of the most common jobs we are asked to look at. We replace and repair flat roofs across Lincolnshire, including rubber flat roofs, and we finish them so they shed water and stay watertight instead of ponding and peeling.

What our flat roofing service includes

Rubber flat roofs

Rubber is our usual recommendation for garages and extensions: a clean, modern covering laid over a properly prepared deck. One rubber roof in our gallery was finished with a lantern rooflight, which turned a dark room below into a bright one.

Garage roofs

Garage roofs are often the oldest covering on the property and the first to fail. We strip the worn-out layers and re-cover the deck, making good any boards that have gone spongy underneath. One customer had us replace the main roof of the house and sort the garage flat roof as part of the same job.

Extension flat roofs

An extension roof has rooms and plaster directly beneath it, so it has to be right. We re-cover these with the falls corrected where water has been sitting, and we check the deck before anything goes down, because a new covering over a rotten board is a job done twice.

From first call to finished roof

  1. Ring 01406 704369 or use the form, and we will call back to fix a time.
  2. We look at the roof from on top, photographing the covering and the deck so you can see its true state.
  3. We set out what it needs, repair or full re-cover, and answer your questions without any hard sell.
  4. A written price follows, fixed, so the number you accept is the number you pay.
  5. We agree the date and let you know when materials, and any skip or access kit, will show up.

Common questions

Problems we are asked about

Why is water pooling on my flat roof?

Water pools on a flat roof because the roof no longer has enough fall to drain: the deck has sagged, the outlet is blocked, or it was never laid with a proper slope. A flat roof should still finish at a fall of at least 1:80 under BS 6229, and standing water that does not clear after rain is adding weight and finding every weak seam. Re-covering the roof without correcting the fall leaves the same puddle on a new membrane.

Before you ring

Questions we get asked about flat roofing

How much does a flat roof replacement cost?

No two flat roofs price the same: size, the state of the deck and the covering all matter. We survey it for free, then give you a fixed written quote, and the quote holds.

Is a rubber roof better than felt?

For most garages and extensions we think rubber is the better modern option, which is why we recommend it so often. We will look at your roof and give you a straight answer for your situation.

Can you fit a lantern rooflight in a flat roof?

Yes. We have finished a rubber flat roof with a lantern rooflight, and it makes a big difference to the light in the room below. Ask about it at the survey and we will include it in the written quote.

My flat roof is ponding water. Does it need replacing?

Standing water usually means the falls are wrong or the deck has sagged, and we can only tell which by getting up there. If a repair will sort it, we quote for a repair, not a replacement.

How long will the new flat roof last?

We guarantee our flat roofing for 10 years, and we build it to go well beyond that. The written guarantee is yours to keep with the paperwork.
