Flat Roofing Services in Gloucester

Flat roofs take a battering from standing water and UV over the years, so getting the right system and installation matters more than it does on a pitched roof. TB Rooflines fits and repairs flat roofs using felt, GRP fibreglass and rubber (EPDM) systems, on everything from garages and porches to extensions and outbuildings. The right system for your roof depends on the size, use and budget, which is talked through before any work is agreed.

Felt, GRP fibreglass or rubber is discussed based on the roof size, budget and how the building is used.
3
Strip Out
The old covering is removed and the timber deck is checked and repaired if needed before new materials go down.
4
Installation
The new flat roof system is laid with proper falls, upstands and edge detailing to shed water away from the building.

FAQ

Common Questions

Which flat roof system is best, felt, fibreglass or rubber?

Each has its place. Felt systems are a well established, cost-effective option when installed correctly with enough layers. GRP fibreglass gives a seamless, hard-wearing finish and is popular on balconies and extensions. Rubber (EPDM) is flexible and durable with fewer joints on larger areas. Which one is right depends on your roof size, shape and budget, which TB Rooflines will talk through on site.

Why does my flat roof keep collecting standing water?

Some ponding after rain is normal on flat roofs, but water that sits for days usually points to insufficient falls, a sagging deck, or blocked outlets. Left unaddressed it can shorten the life of the roof covering, so it's worth having checked.

How long does a flat roof covering usually last before it needs replacing?

It varies by material and how well it was installed and maintained, with quality installations generally outlasting cheaper ones by a good margin. Rather than go by age alone, it's better to have the roof looked at if you're seeing cracking, blistering or leaks.

Do you repair flat roofs or only replace them?

Both. Plenty of flat roof problems, like a split seam or a failed upstand, can be repaired without replacing the whole roof. If the covering is generally at the end of its life, a full replacement will usually be the more sensible recommendation.
