New GRP flat roof on a garage, with a tiled house roof behind

Bungalows, extensions and flat roofs

Bungalows, holiday homes and extensions often have flat roofs on garages, dormers and back extensions. When the old felt fails, we replace it with GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber, on a sound new deck.

Weather off the bay

Filey Bay faces the North Sea, so wind-driven rain is the test for every roof in town. Worn ridges, slipped slates and tired flashings are the usual weak points, and the cheapest time to fix them is before they leak.

Roofing in Filey: your questions

Something else? See all our questions, or give Alfie a ring.

Can a flat roof be repaired, or does it need replacing?

A small split or blister in felt can be patched. But if the felt is cracked all over, or the deck underneath has gone soft, a patch won’t last, and it’s time for a new roof: a new deck where it’s needed, then GRP or EPDM on top.

Flat roofs

Should I choose GRP or EPDM?

Both last well when they’re laid on a sound deck. GRP (fibreglass) sets hard and copes with being walked on; EPDM is a single sheet of rubber that copes well with movement. We’ll recommend one for your roof and explain why.
