Flat Roofing

Repairs and full replacements on flat roofs — felt, EPDM rubber and fibreglass GRP — for extensions, garages, dormers, porches and commercial premises across Falkirk. Most flat roof failures start at a poorly detailed edge or outlet rather than the membrane itself. Because of that, we check those details first.

The right system for the job

Flat roofs take a beating from standing water and the freeze-thaw cycle of a Scottish winter, and an old felt roof will eventually blister, split and leak. The trick is choosing the right modern system and laying it properly, with the falls and detailing that keep water moving off the roof.

We work in torch-on felt, EPDM rubber and fibreglass GRP, and we'll recommend the one that fits your roof, its use and your budget — then fit it to last.

Most flat roof failures trace back to a poorly detailed edge, upstand or outlet rather than the membrane itself. Because of that, we check those details on every survey rather than assuming a like-for-like recover is enough. GRP and EPDM both typically outlast felt by a decade or more. We also check the falls, or drainage gradient, since standing water is usually a falls problem, not a membrane one.

Ask about our small-job rate too — a patch repair often costs a fraction of a full replacement if caught early.

Flat Roofing FAQs

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

If the deck underneath is sound and the damage is localised, a repair is often all that's needed. Where the covering has blistered, split or is holding water across the whole roof, replacement is the better long-term fix. We survey it and give you an honest recommendation.

What's the best flat roof material — felt, EPDM or fibreglass? +

Modern torch-on felt is cost-effective and reliable; EPDM rubber is a single seamless membrane that's very durable; fibreglass (GRP) gives a hard, seamless finish that's great for balconies and dormers. We'll advise which suits your roof and budget.

How much does it cost to replace a flat roof? +

Cost depends on the size of the roof, the material you choose and the state of the timber deck beneath. We give a fixed written quote after a free survey — including any deck repairs — so there are no surprises.

Why is my flat roof leaking? +

Common causes are splits or blisters in old felt, failed seams, ponding water sitting after rain, or damaged flashing where the flat roof meets a wall. We trace the actual source before quoting rather than just patching the nearest wet spot.
