Flat Roofing for Homes in Telford
Telford’s planners loved the flat roof, integral garages, link blocks, porch pods and flat-topped bays run through the east side’s estate designs by the thousand, and their felt generations are failing on schedule. Ponding links and leaking garage tops are the standing complaints of Priorslee and Redhill house types.
We cover Telford and the surrounding area: Priorslee, St Georges, Snedshill, Oakengates edge, Redhill and beyond (TF2, TF3).

What’s Included
We strip to the deck, rebuild the falls the designs often skimped, and recover in EPDM with edges trimmed for the open, gusty ground much of the new town sits on. The old villages contribute terrace back additions, done with the same care at the house-wall junctions.
- 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 Telford, FAQs
Frequently, yes, many link roofs were built with marginal falls that settlement erased, so water sits. The recover is the moment to rebuild the falls with tapered supports, after which the puddle era ends permanently.
Completely standard, the house types repeat, the failure points repeat, and our EPDM recover for them is practically a product. Damp in the room above the garage is the usual prompt, and one job fixes it.
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.
Old style felt was ten to fifteen years if you were lucky. A properly fitted EPDM or GRP roof is a different class: the materials themselves are rated for decades. The weak point is always the workmanship at edges and outlets, which is exactly where we take the most care.
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.
