Flat Roof Specialists in Ruddington: EPDM, Felt and GRP
Flat roofs in Ruddington often come as an addition to something older: a kitchen built onto the back of a cottage, a garage beside a modern house, or a porch over a front door. Because they are added to pitched roofs, the join with the main building is just as important as the flat surface itself.
We are based in Beckingham and fit, recover and repair flat roofs across Ruddington and the nearby villages. After a look at the roof, we will suggest EPDM, felt or GRP, depending on what suits the building and the condition of the structure beneath.
Where flat roofs on village homes fail
Most leaks start at the edges, around outlets, at upstands against the house wall or along seams, rather than in the open middle of the roof. A covering that has been patched several times usually shows that the underlying problem has not been dealt with.
Ponding water, blisters and soft spots in the deck are signs the roof is nearing the end of its life, and replacing it sooner tends to be simpler than leaving it until the timbers are damaged.

Working beside an older house
Where a flat roof meets a cottage wall, the weathering needs to sit properly against the brick and any lead flashing, otherwise water runs behind it. Flat roof and roof window work may need building regulations approval, so check with your local council.
Send photos of the roof to Evans Roofing by call or WhatsApp, along with any damp patches inside, and we will say whether a repair or a new covering looks right before we quote.

Flat Roofing and EPDM in Ruddington: common questions
Is EPDM suitable for a small extension roof?
It often is, because it can be laid in a single sheet with few seams and is flexible enough to follow the roof edges. We still check the deck and the falls before confirming it is the right choice for your roof.
Can you fix a flat roof that leaks where it meets the house wall?
Usually the flashing or upstand at that junction is the cause, and it can be repaired or renewed. We check the wall, the lead and the roof edge together so the fix is not just sealant over the top.
