Flat Roof Coverings Explained

Torch on felt is the workhorse and suits most extensions. Fibreglass gives a seamless finish with no joints to fail and works well on smaller roofs. Single ply is light and quick over larger areas. We talk through which fits your roof, your access and your budget.

Why Flat Roofs Pond and Leak

A flat roof is never truly flat. It needs a slight fall so water runs off. When the fall is wrong or the deck has sagged, water sits in a pool, works at the joints and eventually gets through. We build the fall back in with firrings rather than covering over the problem.

Extensions, Dormers and Garages

Most flat roofs we work on in Bordon sit over a kitchen extension, a dormer or a garage. Each has its own weak point. Extensions leak at the wall upstand, dormers at the cheeks, garages at the edge trim. We detail those areas properly rather than relying on sealant.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a flat roof last?

A well laid felt roof lasts around twenty years, fibreglass longer, and single ply sits somewhere between. The covering matters less than the fall and the detailing at the edges. Roofs that hold water fail early whatever they are made from, which is why we start with the fall.

Can you repair a leaking flat roof in Bordon rather than replace it?

Often yes. If the covering is sound and the leak is at a split, a lap or an upstand, a repair is the sensible route. When the felt is blistered across the whole roof or water sits in dips, a repair rarely lasts. We tell you which it is after looking at it.

How long does it take to fit a new flat roof?

Most garage and extension roofs are done in one to three days, depending on size and whether the deck needs replacing. Fibreglass needs dry weather to cure properly. We keep the roof covered overnight if the job runs across days, so nothing gets in.
