Flat Roofing in Falkirk

Flat roofs fail differently from pitched roofs: ponding water, blistered felt, cracked corners and failed upstands where the roof meets the house wall. Modern materials have transformed what a flat roof can do. A properly installed EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass roof should last 25 years or more, far beyond the old three-layer felt systems. The flat-roofing specialists in our network repair and replace roofs on extensions, garages, dormers, bay windows and balconies. While some roofs just need a patch, others need the deck replacing, and a good specialist will tell you honestly which one you're facing.

Flat Roofing in Falkirk — FAQs

Which is better: EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or felt?

EPDM is flexible, quick to install and excellent on garages and extensions. GRP gives a seamless, hard-wearing finish ideal for balconies and walk-on roofs. Modern torch-on felt is still a legitimate budget option. The right choice depends on the roof's size, traffic and detailing — a specialist will recommend based on the actual deck.

How much does a new flat roof cost?

As a guide, replacing a single garage flat roof runs about £1,000–£2,000 in EPDM; extension roofs typically £2,000–£5,000 depending on size and edge detailing. GRP costs a little more than EPDM; felt a little less.

How long does a flat roof last?

Old-style felt: 10–15 years. Modern high-performance felt: up to 20. EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass: 25–30+ years when properly installed on a sound deck with correct falls.

Why does my flat roof keep leaking?

The usual suspects are ponding water from inadequate falls, cracked or blistered covering, failed upstands and flashings at walls and skylights, or a rotten deck flexing underneath. A repair that ignores the underlying cause will fail again — insist on a diagnosis, not just a patch.
