Flat Roofing in Cotgrave: EPDM, Felt and GRP Roofs
Flat roofs in Cotgrave tend to be the small ones attached to otherwise pitched houses: a garage beside a post-war semi, a porch, a kitchen extension at the back, or a flat section on a bungalow. They are easy to ignore, which is why they so often leak before anyone has looked at them.
We are based in Beckingham and fit and repair flat roofs across Cotgrave and the neighbouring villages. The right covering depends on the shape of the roof, the state of the deck beneath it and how the water drains away. A small roof with a short life left costs more to keep patching than to recover once, so an early look is worthwhile.
Choosing between EPDM, felt and GRP
EPDM is a flexible rubber membrane that suits many garage and extension roofs and can often be laid in one piece. Felt is the traditional option and still suits some buildings, while GRP fibreglass forms a continuous finish that works on appropriate roofs.
Whichever is chosen, edges, upstands and outlets matter as much as the main surface, because most leaks start there rather than in the middle of the roof.

Signs a flat roof is on its way out
Ponding after rain, blistering, open seams and damp patches on a ceiling all point to a covering that is failing. Replacing it early is usually simpler than waiting until the deck underneath is damaged. Flat roof work may need building regulations approval, so check with your local council.
Call or WhatsApp Evans Roofing with photos of the roof and any stains indoors, and we can say whether a repair or a full recover looks right before we quote. Photos taken at the edges, around outlets and along any seams are especially useful.

Flat Roofing and EPDM in Cotgrave: common questions
Can a leaking flat roof in Cotgrave be repaired without replacing it?
Sometimes. If the problem is a split seam, a puncture or a poorly sealed edge, a repair may be reasonable. Widespread blistering, repeated patching or soft decking usually points to a new covering instead.
Which flat roofing material is right for a garage?
That depends on the size, shape and condition of the roof, so we look at it before recommending anything. EPDM is a common choice for garages, with felt and GRP better suited to other situations.
