Flat Roofing in Y Fflint / Flint, Flintshire

You might be wondering why that felt roof you had installed a few years ago is already causing grief. The truth is, traditional felt just isn't designed for the modern climate. It hates 'thermal movement'—the way materials expand in the summer sun and shrink in the winter frost. Eventually, the seams crack, the surface bubbles, and water starts to sit in pools. We call this 'ponding', and it's the number one killer of flat roofs in Flintshire.Instead of just sticking another layer of felt on top (which usually just hides the rot), we prefer a more permanent approach. We look at the whole structure, from the OSB3 boards underneath to the final waterproof layer. By using modern materials that are designed to flex and breathe, we can guarantee a finish that won't crack under pressure.

When it comes to flat roofing today, you've got two gold-standard options: GRP Fibreglass and EPDM Rubber. Think of GRP as a seamless, rock-hard shell. It's incredibly tough, meaning if you need to walk on your roof to clean windows or if you've got a balcony area, it's virtually indestructible. Plus, it looks great in a sleek grey finish that really smartens up a property.Then there's EPDM rubber. It's a single-ply membrane that’s incredibly flexible. Imagine a giant, custom-fitted rubber sheet that can stretch and move without ever snapping. It's a fantastic, cost-effective choice for larger garage roofs or extensions. Both systems are light-years ahead of the old torch-on felt methods. Not sure which one is right for your home? We’ll pop over, take a look, and explain the pros and cons over a cuppa.

Is your flat-roofed extension always the coldest room in the house? That’s usually because of a 'cold roof' design where there’s no insulation above the rafters. We specialise in warm roof construction, where we fit high-quality insulation boards directly on top of the roof structure before the waterproof layer goes on. It's like putting a thick tea cosy over your room.It’s a bit of a game-changer for thermal efficiency. Not only does it stop condensation from forming on your ceiling, but it also keeps your heating bills down. Most of our Flint customers notice the difference in temperature immediately.
