Flat Roofing in St Helens, St. Helens

Let's be honest, traditional felt has a bit of a reputation for failing just when you need it most. It cracks in the sun and becomes brittle in the frost, eventually leading to those annoying leaks. That's why we specialise in GRP fibreglass roofing. Think of it as a seamless, liquid-applied skin that's incredibly tough—you can even walk on it if you're using the area as a balcony. We start by stripping back your old roof and installing fresh OSB3 boards, ensuring the foundation is solid before applying the resin and topcoat. The result? A roof with no seams, no joints, and nowhere for the water to get in. It's the gold standard for anyone looking for a maintenance-free future in St Helens.

Have you noticed water 'ponding' in the middle of your flat roof? It’s a common sight across St. Helens, usually caused by the roof sagging over time. For larger areas like big extensions or commercial units, we often recommend EPDM rubber roofing. It's a synthetic rubber membrane that we usually install in one single, massive sheet. Because there are no joins, there's virtually zero chance of a leak developing at a seam. It's incredibly flexible, meaning it handles the natural expansion and contraction of your building without cracking. Plus, it’s one of the most eco-friendly options on the market, lasting upwards of 50 years without needing much more than an occasional clear-out of the gutters.

Most homeowners we speak to in St Helens tell us their extensions are freezing in the winter and like a greenhouse in the summer. If that sounds familiar, you might want to consider a 'warm roof' upgrade. Unlike a traditional cold roof where the insulation sits between the rafters, a warm roof places the insulation on top of the structural deck. This keeps the entire structure of your roof at a similar temperature to the room below, eliminating condensation and significantly cutting your heating bills. When we’re installing your new flat roof, it’s the perfect time to look at your insulation levels. It’s an investment that pays for itself in comfort and lower energy costs.
