Flat Roofing in Ince-In-Makerfield, Wigan

Most homeowners we talk to are tired of the constant cycle of patching up old bitumen felt. It's a material that simply struggles with our changing seasons, cracking in the summer heat and becoming brittle when the frost hits. We specialise in GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber because they offer a 'fit and forget' solution. Imagine not having to worry about a damp patch appearing on your kitchen ceiling every time there's a downpour. These modern systems are seamless, meaning there are no joints for water to sneak through, providing a much higher level of protection for your home and everything inside it.

If you want a roof you can practically walk on, GRP fibreglass is the way to go. It’s essentially a cold-applied liquid resin reinforced with glass matting, which cures into a single, incredibly tough skin. We often recommend this for balconies or roofs that might need occasional access because it's so impact-resistant. Because it's finished with a topcoat in your choice of colour, it looks smart too. We've installed these on everything from dormer windows to large commercial units in Wigan, and the feedback is always the same: it looks great and it simply doesn't leak.

Is your flat roof a bit of an awkward shape? That’s where EPDM rubber really shines. It's a high-performance synthetic membrane that's typically installed in one single sheet. That means no seams and no weak points across the entire surface of your extension or garage. It's incredibly flexible, so it naturally expands and contracts as the temperature changes—unlike old-fashioned materials that would just split under the pressure. It’s a cost-effective, long-term solution that has been proven to last for decades without needing much more than an occasional clear-out of the gutters.

Sometimes, a roof has so many vents, pipes, or awkward corners that a traditional sheet material just isn't practical. In these cases, we often use liquid polyurethane. It’s a bit like a high-tech paint that cures into a waterproof, elastic membrane. It’s fantastic for sealing those difficult areas where different surfaces meet, ensuring every inch of your roof is watertight. It’s also a brilliant option for refurbishing an existing roof that’s still structurally sound but needs a fresh, reliable waterproof layer to extend its life.
