What we do

Flat Roofing in Staffordshire explained

Flat roofs have moved on considerably from the old pour-and-roll felt that gave them a poor reputation. Today's single-ply and liquid systems are seam-free, UV stable and designed to sit for decades with minimal maintenance.

We survey the existing deck before quoting. A new covering over a soft, damp or poorly falling deck will fail early, so where the boarding or firrings need replacing we include that in the price rather than discovering it halfway through.

Whether it is a small porch roof in Uttoxeter or a large extension in Burton upon Trent, the detailing around upstands, trims and outlets is where a flat roof succeeds or fails — and it is where we spend the time.

Flat roof problems we see

  • Ponding water that never drains away
  • Blistering, splitting or shrinking felt
  • Leaks at upstands, junctions and around outlets
  • Soft or spongy areas indicating a rotten deck
  • Failed or missing edge trims and drips
  • Old three-layer felt roofs at the end of their life

Common questions

Service life depends on the system and the detailing. Modern EPDM and GRP roofs are specified for long service lives when installed over a sound deck with correct falls.
