Very professional company - would highly recommend. Tom and the team were quick to resolve a leak on our flat roof. Great communication throughout, reasonably priced and got the job done to a high spec quickly. Would certainly use again for any roofing work, thank you.

Repairing or Renewing a Flat Roof
A small split or a failed edge can be repaired. When water has got into the deck underneath, a repair on the surface will not last, and the roof needs renewing.
Renewing a flat roof means taking it back to the joists where the decking has suffered, fixing new decking, and covering it with a new system.
- Water sitting on the roof Puddles that are still there days after the rain
- Splits, blisters and cracks In the felt or membrane, often worst at the edges
- Leaks at doors and upstands Where the roof meets a wall, a door or a rooflight
- A deck that gives underfoot A soft or spongy feel usually means the boards below are wet
How a Flat Roof Is Renewed
Photos from the flat roof we renewed for Thurston Butchers, from the old felt to the finished roof.
-
The old roof
Old felt, with leaves and moss collecting across the surface.
-
Stripped back
With the old covering off, the decking underneath had started to rot.
-
New decking
New decking boards fixed across the roof, giving the new system a sound base.
-
The first layer
The first layer of a two-layer IKO felt system goes down over the new deck.
-
The finished roof
Finished with the top layer of the system, sealed along the edges.
A Sika Plan Roof in Woolpit
Not every flat roof is felt. This one, in Woolpit, was covered in Sika Plan, a single-ply membrane.
A single-ply roof is covered with one sheet of membrane rather than built up in layers, which gives a clean, even finish.

Flat Roofing FAQs
The size of the roof, the system you choose, how many edges, upstands and rooflights it has, access, and the state of the decking once the old covering is off. Every roof is different, so the reliable figure is a quote for yours. Quotes are free.
We fit EPDM rubber roofs, and recent jobs have used a two-layer IKO felt system and Sika Plan single-ply membrane. The right one depends on the roof, and we'll talk you through it when we quote.
Usually, if the work covers more than half of the roof, or if the roof structure is altered. Re-covering a roof can also mean the insulation has to be brought up to current standards. Check the Planning Portal or your local council before work starts, and ask us about it when we quote.
