Flat Roofing in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, Staffordshire

Why settle for a material that’s prone to leaking? At P D Roofing & Building Contractors Cheshire, we’ve moved away from old-fashioned felt because our customers deserve better. Whether you’re over in Silverdale, the Westlands, or near Keele, we specialise in high-performance systems like GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber. These aren't just layers of bitumen; they are engineered, waterproof membranes designed to withstand the British weather. Imagine never having to worry about 'ponding' water or peeling edges ever again. That’s the peace of mind a modern flat roof brings to your property.

If you want a roof that’s as tough as a boat hull, GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is the way to go. It’s a cold-applied liquid that cures into a single, seamless sheet across your entire roof. Because there are no joints or seams, there’s literally nowhere for water to get in. It’s incredibly durable too; you can even walk on it, making it the perfect choice for balconies or roofs that need occasional access. We install it over fresh OSB3 boards to ensure a rock-solid foundation, finished with professional kerb trims that direct every drop of rain straight into your gutters.

For larger areas like double garages or wide kitchen extensions, EPDM rubber is often the 'Gold Standard'. It’s a synthetic rubber membrane that we usually lay in one single piece, meaning no joints and no leaks. It’s incredibly flexible, so it doesn't crack when the temperature drops in the winter or bakes in the summer sun. Many people in the Newcastle area choose EPDM because it’s environmentally friendly and has a life expectancy of over 50 years. It’s a smart investment that genuinely adds value to your home while ending the cycle of constant roof repairs.

Are you find that your extension is freezing in the winter and like a sauna in the summer? This is often because old flat roofs have little to no insulation. When we strip back your old roof, it’s the perfect time to talk about a 'warm roof' conversion. By adding high-quality insulation boards above the structural deck, we can dramatically improve your home’s thermal efficiency. It’s a simple change that makes a massive difference to your heating bills and makes that extra room feel like a proper part of the house, rather than a cold afterthought.
