What’s Included
We rebuild them in GRP where crisp edges and upstands matter, EPDM on the plainer spans, with junctions to old walls formed in proper lead rather than hope. Behind a listed frontage the flat roof is the working heart of the drainage, and we treat it with that seriousness.
- EPDM rubber, one-piece membrane with no seams
- GRP fibreglass with a hard-wearing gel top coat
- High performance felt where it suits the job
- Falls corrected so water drains instead of ponding
- Rotten decking cut out and replaced
- Proper edge trims, outlets and upstands
How It Works
Flat Roofing in Bridgnorth, FAQs
Tricky and familiar, parapet outlets through old masonry are classic Bridgnorth details, and they want rebuilt upstands, formed lead and a cleared route through the wall. Done properly the arrangement outlives the felt generations that failed before it.
Invisibly, rear flat roofs sit out of the streetscape, and the membranes we use stay grey, flat and quiet. The heritage rules care about what shows; what shows stays perfect.
Both are excellent when fitted right, so it comes down to the roof. EPDM suits larger, simpler roofs because it goes down in one continuous sheet and copes with a bit of movement. GRP gives a hard, walkable finish and crisp edges, which suits smaller roofs, balconies and roofs with lots of detail. We quote whichever suits yours, or both so you can compare.
Standing water, called ponding, ages any flat roof faster: it strains the membrane, freezes in winter and finds any weak seam. Sometimes the fix is as simple as correcting the falls with firring or a tapered board when the roof is recovered. If your roof ponds, it is worth a look before it starts leaking.
If the covering is basically sound and the problem is local, yes, a patch or a new outlet detail can buy years. If the felt is blistered and cracked across the whole roof, patching is money down the drain and we will say so. You get the honest option, priced.
