Flat Roofing Systems
Three Systems — One Expert Installer
We install all three leading flat roofing systems and will recommend the right one for your property, budget, and requirements. Every installation is carried out by experienced tradespeople using quality materials from trusted suppliers.
EPDM Rubber Flat Roofing
Most PopularLifespan: 20–25+ years
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber is the most durable and cost-effective flat roofing system available today. A single-ply membrane is bonded to the roof deck, creating a completely seamless, waterproof surface with no joints to fail. EPDM is highly resistant to UV, ozone, and extreme temperatures — making it ideal for the Cambridgeshire climate.
- Seamless — no joints or seams to leak
- 20–25+ year lifespan with minimal maintenance
- Excellent UV and weather resistance
- Lightweight — no structural loading issues
- Environmentally friendly and recyclable
- Can be installed in cold weather
- Suitable for all flat roof sizes
Best for: House extensions, garages, bay windows, commercial flat roofs
GRP Fibreglass Flat Roofing
Premium OptionLifespan: 25–30+ years
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) fibreglass roofing is a rigid, seamless system that is laminated directly onto the roof deck. It creates an extremely hard, durable surface that is completely waterproof and resistant to foot traffic. GRP is the premium flat roofing option and is particularly popular for new-build extensions and properties where a high-quality finish is required.
- Extremely hard and durable surface
- 25–30+ year lifespan
- Completely seamless — no joints
- Resistant to foot traffic
- Can be moulded around complex shapes
- Excellent fire resistance
- Low maintenance — occasional re-coat only
Best for: New-build extensions, balconies, walkable roof terraces, complex roof shapes
Torch-On Felt Flat Roofing
Cost-EffectiveLifespan: 15–20 years
Torch-on felt (also known as modified bitumen or SBS felt) is a traditional flat roofing system that has been significantly improved in recent decades. Modern torch-on felt is applied in multiple layers using a gas torch, creating a robust, waterproof surface. It is a cost-effective option for straightforward flat roofs and is widely used for garage roofs and smaller extensions.
- Cost-effective — lower upfront cost
- 15–20 year lifespan with quality materials
- Proven, well-understood system
- Suitable for most flat roof applications
- Can be repaired easily if damaged
- Available in a range of finishes
Best for: Garage roofs, smaller extensions, budget-conscious projects

FAQs
Flat Roofing Questions Answered
Which flat roofing system is best for my property?
The best system depends on your budget, the size and shape of the roof, and how long you want it to last. EPDM is the most popular choice for most domestic flat roofs due to its excellent lifespan and value. GRP is the premium option for complex shapes or where a very hard surface is needed. Torch-on felt is a cost-effective option for straightforward roofs. We will advise you honestly on the best option for your specific situation.
How long does a flat roof last?
A quality EPDM flat roof will last 20–25+ years. GRP fibreglass can last 25–30+ years. Torch-on felt typically lasts 15–20 years. The lifespan depends heavily on the quality of materials and installation — which is why choosing an experienced, reputable contractor matters.
How much does a new flat roof cost in Cambridgeshire?
Costs vary depending on the size of the roof and the system chosen. As a rough guide, a typical garage flat roof (20–30m²) might cost £1,500–£3,500 depending on the system. We always provide a free, detailed written quote before any work begins.
Can you repair my existing flat roof rather than replace it?
In many cases yes — we can repair blistering, cracking, ponding areas, and failed seams on existing flat roofs. However, if the roof is old or has widespread deterioration, replacement is often more cost-effective in the long run. We will give you an honest assessment.
Do flat roofs need maintenance?
All flat roofs benefit from periodic inspection and maintenance. We recommend checking your flat roof annually — clearing debris, checking drainage outlets, and looking for any signs of damage. EPDM and GRP require very little maintenance; torch-on felt may need a re-coat after 10–15 years.
