Flat roofs in Hampshire and Surrey

Plan the waterproof layer from deck to outlet

1. Locate the wet area. We compare the indoor leak with seams, rooflight kerbs and wall connections above it. Standing water is assessed alongside these details to establish how rain reaches the affected part of the roof.
2. Check the base condition. For renewal, the old system is removed to expose the deck. Soft boards, open joints and unsuitable surfaces are identified before specifying the preparation needed beneath the replacement waterproof layer.
3. Establish the water route. The roof's fall directs rain towards its outlet. We examine low points and drainage connections, then explain any preparation required so the new covering does not reproduce a defective drainage arrangement.
4. Form the selected system. The prepared base receives EPDM, GRP or felt with the accessories and jointing details suited to that material. Corners and changes in level are treated as part of the waterproof layer.
5. Complete perimeter connections. Wall upstands, edge trims and outlets are finished and inspected with the rooflight details. The completed covering must connect around its perimeter as well as protect the open area in the middle.

The flat roof systems we fit

• EPDM rubber: A flexible rubber membrane covers the prepared roof, with compatible seams, outlets and perimeter components. The roof's shape and openings determine how sheets are arranged and how their junctions are completed.
• GRP fibreglass: Glass reinforcement and resin form a covering over suitable decking. Preparation, edge trims and application conditions are central to the finished system, particularly around kerbs and the meeting point with walls.
• Felt roofing: Felt creates a layered waterproof covering with sealed overlaps. The installation includes the upstands and drainage edges, with the proposed build-up described alongside any deck repairs needed beneath the finished surface.

How long flat roofs takes

Flat roof work is scheduled around the selected system's application conditions as well as the roof area. Removing failed decking, correcting drainage and detailing several rooflights add stages beyond fitting a covering to a sound, uncomplicated base.

What affects the price

• Area to receive the specified flat roof system
• Type and condition of the existing deck boards
• Preparation needed to establish suitable drainage falls
• Number of rooflight kerbs, upstands and internal corners
• Outlet connections and access to the roof perimeter

Looking after it afterwards

Keep unnecessary foot traffic off the finished surface and avoid placing sharp objects on it. Observe outlets from a safe position after rain. Report lifted trims or a new low spot before repeated wetting affects the deck underneath.
