Why Choose Flat Roofing?
Flat roofs are becoming more common in modern buildings due to their many advantages. They are often more affordable to install and maintain than traditional sloped roofs. Flat roofs also make better use of space, which is especially helpful in urban areas. They are versatile and can be used for green roofs or rooftop gardens.
This type of roof is also easier to inspect and maintain than sloped roofs. They can also be designed to be energy-efficient by reflecting sunlight and reducing cooling costs.

The lifespan depends on the material used and how well it’s maintained. Generally, you can expect:
- EPDM: 20-30 years
- GRP Fibreglass: 30-50 years
- Built-Up Felt: 15-20 years
- PVC: 20-30 years
- TPO: 20-30 years
With proper maintenance, these lifespans can often be extended.
While these roofs are sometimes perceived as more prone to leaks, modern materials and installation techniques have greatly improved their water resistance. When properly installed and maintained, a flat roof can be just as waterproof as a pitched roof. Regular inspections and maintenance are key to preventing leaks.
It depends on the type of roof you have. Some materials, like GRP fibreglass, are designed to be walked on occasionally. However, frequent foot traffic can damage the roofing material. We recommend consulting with us before walking on your flat roof to ensure it’s safe and won’t void your warranty.
We recommend having your roof professionally inspected at least once a year, ideally in the autumn before winter weather sets in. However, you should also conduct visual inspections from the ground after severe weather events and clear any debris you notice.
Yes, flat roofs are excellent for solar panel installation. They provide a large, unobstructed area for optimal panel placement. However, it’s crucial to ensure your roof can support the additional weight and that the installation doesn’t compromise the roof’s waterproofing. Our team can assess your roof and advise on the best approach.
The time required to replace a flat roof depends on various factors, including the size of the roof, the material being used, and weather conditions. On average, a typical residential flat roof replacement can take anywhere from 2 to 5 days. We always provide a detailed timeline during our initial consultation
Flat roofs can be very energy-efficient, especially when designed with energy conservation in mind. Materials like TPO and PVC can reflect sunlight, reducing heat absorption and cooling costs. Additionally, flat roofs provide an excellent platform for green roofing solutions or the installation of solar panels, further enhancing energy efficiency.
