Flat Roofing in Harworth for Extensions and Garages

Evans Roofing covers flat roofs in Harworth and across the surrounding area, from fresh installations to recovering a roof that has finally started to leak. The three systems used are EPDM rubber, felt and GRP fibreglass, and which one suits depends on the building.

Choosing between EPDM, felt and GRP

EPDM is a flexible synthetic rubber membrane, widely used on suitable flat and low-pitched roofs. Felt is the traditional option and still has its place, and GRP fibreglass gives a continuous waterproof finish that suits many garage and extension roofs.

None of them works properly without good details around the edges, and a membrane that is laid well can still fail at a poorly sealed upstand. Outlets, upstands, trims and flashings are where most flat roofs fail, so they get as much attention as the surface itself. Flat roof work may need building regulations approval, so check locally before you start.

Signs a flat roof is nearing the end

Ponding water, blistering, open seams and brown ceiling stains inside the room below all point the same way. Many family homes here have had an extension added at some point, and the flat roof on it may be far older than the house around it, so check the covering rather than assuming it is fine. A garage roof deserves the same look, since it is the one nobody climbs up to.

Send a few photos of the roof and the ceiling underneath by call or WhatsApp to Evans Roofing. From those we can say whether repair or recovering looks more likely and put a quote together.
