How We Install Flat Roofs in Barnstaple

Every flat roof project starts with proper preparation. We assess the structure and make sure the surface is stable, level and ready for installation. This stage is essential for preventing issues such as pooling water or premature wear.

Once prepared, we install the chosen roofing system using reliable methods, forming a strong, watertight surface. Care is taken with joints, edges and drainage to ensure the roof performs effectively in all weather conditions while maintaining a clean, professional finish.

North Devon Flat Roofing Systems

EPDM Rubber Roofing

A highly durable and flexible material supplied in large sheets, reducing the number of seams and potential leak points. EPDM is known for its long lifespan, often lasting over 50 years, and offers excellent resistance to UV rays, extreme weather and temperature changes. It is also low maintenance and environmentally friendly.

GRP Fibreglass Roofing

A seamless and fully waterproof system that provides a strong, long-lasting finish. GRP roofing is lightweight yet extremely tough, with a lifespan typically exceeding 30 years. It is ideal for more complex roof shapes and offers a clean, modern appearance.

Torch-On Felt Roofing

A traditional and cost-effective option suitable for many flat roofs. This system involves layering bitumen felt to create a durable, waterproof surface. It provides good insulation, is reliable in all weather conditions and can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance.

Acrypol Coatings

A weather-resistant coating system used to restore and protect existing flat roofs. Acrypol helps extend the life of a roof by adding an extra waterproof barrier and improving overall performance.

We focus on delivering flat roofing solutions that are built to last and perform reliably over time.

How long does a flat roof last?

The lifespan depends on the material used. EPDM rubber roofs can last over 50 years, GRP fibreglass roofs typically last 30+ years, and torch-on felt roofs can last around 20 years with proper maintenance.

What is the best flat roofing system?

The best option depends on your property and budget. EPDM is known for longevity, GRP offers a seamless modern finish, and felt provides a cost-effective solution. We can recommend the most suitable system based on your needs.

Can a flat roof be repaired instead of replaced?

In many cases, yes. Minor damage or wear can often be repaired or treated with coatings such as Acrypol. If the roof is heavily worn or failing, a replacement may be the better long-term option.

Do flat roofs leak more than pitched roofs?

Flat roofs can perform just as well as pitched roofs when installed correctly. Most issues come from poor installation or ageing materials, which is why proper preparation and quality workmanship are essential.

How long does installation take?

Most flat roof installations are completed within a few days, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
