Flat roofing in Hull and East Yorkshire

Flat roofs are where we do a lot of our work. Kitchen extensions, garages, dormers, bay roofs and commercial buildings across Hull and East Yorkshire all have them, and many were built with thin boards and little or no insulation.

We replace old flat roofs from the joists up and fit new ones on extensions. Depending on the building and your budget, we’ll recommend felt, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass, and we can add proper insulation at the same time.

Flat roofing systems we fit

Each system has its strengths. We will talk you through which suits your roof.

  • Felt roofing: high performance torch-on felt in layers, finished with a mineral cap sheet. Good value and quick to repair. More about felt roofing
  • EPDM rubber roofing: a single sheet of rubber membrane with very few joins, which resists UV and stays flexible in cold weather
  • GRP fibreglass roofing: a hard-wearing, seamless finish that suits roofs you walk on or want to look neat. More about fibreglass roofing

What a flat roof replacement involves

Strip back

We take off the old covering and check the deck and joists. Rotten boards and timbers are replaced, not covered over.

Insulate and board

We can fit insulation boards such as Kingspan, then a new 18mm OSB deck with fillets laid so water runs off properly.

Waterproof and finish

We lay the new covering, fit new drip edges and trims, and seal around walls, pipes and rooflights with lead or flashing.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a new flat roof last?

A well laid modern felt roof should last 20 years or more, and EPDM and GRP roofs can last longer. The quality of the deck and the detailing at the edges matters as much as the covering.

How long does it take to replace a flat roof?

Most extension and garage roofs take one to three days, depending on size and the condition of the timbers underneath.

Can you make my extension warmer?

Yes. Many older extensions have little or no insulation. We can fit insulation boards when we replace the roof. Read about flat roof insulation.
