Flat Roofing Services in Bishop's Stortford
Flat roofing is a practical, space-efficient choice for many properties. It's popular for extensions, garages, bay roofs and certain commercial buildings because it can be cost-effective, easy to access, and ideal for modern designs. With professional installation and good drainage, a flat roof can be extremely durable.
If you're comparing roof types, we can advise on the best option for your building and budget. For pitched options, see new roofs or if you've noticed water ingress, explore our roof repairs.
Benefits of Flat Roofing
Here are a few reasons flat roofing is a great option:
Cost-Effective: Often quicker to install and maintain than pitched roofs.
Space Efficient: Great for roof terraces, solar panels, or practical access areas.
Easy Access: Straightforward inspections and repairs compared to steeper roofs.
Durable Systems: Modern membranes are designed to withstand the UK climate.
Types of Systems
We can supply and fit a range of flat roofing systems depending on your property:
1. EPDM Rubber Roofing
EPDM is a popular choice for long-lasting waterproof protection. It's flexible, durable and ideal for many domestic flat roofs.
2. Single-Ply Membrane
Lightweight and modern, single-ply membranes (such as TPO/PVC styles) can offer excellent weather resistance and clean finishes.
3. Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
A traditional multi-layer approach often associated with felt systems, designed for durability and strong protection.
4. Green Roofing
Suitable for some properties, green roofs add insulation and visual appeal, and can improve water management when properly designed.
Flat Roofing Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps prevent leaks and extends the lifespan of your flat roof:
Regular Inspections: Check at least twice a year for cracks, lifting edges, or pooling water.
Clear Debris: Keep outlets and gutters clear to prevent standing water.
Fix Issues Early: Small splits and weak joints are usually quicker and cheaper to repair early.
If your flat roof drainage connects into your gutters, our guttering service can help prevent overflows and water damage.
