Choosing the right flat roof system
Not every flat roof is the same, so the most suitable system depends on the size of the roof, how it is used, the detailing around edges and upstands, and the overall condition of the roof structure below.
We install GRP, EPDM and high-performance felt systems and can explain the pros and cons of each, so you can choose the most suitable option rather than guess.
GRP fibreglass flat roofs
GRP is often chosen where a clean, modern and seamless finish is required. It works particularly well on garages, extensions and bay roofs, and offers excellent durability when installed correctly over a sound deck.
EPDM rubber flat roofs
EPDM is a tough rubber membrane that performs well in changing weather conditions. Its flexibility makes it a popular option for domestic flat roofs where long-term reliability is a priority.
High-performance felt roofing
Modern felt systems remain a very good option for many properties. They are far more advanced than older felt coverings and can provide a robust, cost-effective solution when installed as part of a proper multi-layer system.
Common flat roof issues we repair in Orpington
We are often called to inspect flat roofs that are showing signs of wear or poor drainage. Typical issues include:
- Leaks after heavy rain
- Blistering, splits or open joints in the roof covering
- Standing water or slow drainage
- Water coming in around roof edges, abutments or skylights
- Loose trims and failing edge details
- Storm damage and wind-lifted materials
Repair or replace?
Some flat roofs can be repaired successfully if the issue is localised and the rest of the roof is still in reasonable condition. In other cases, especially where the covering is worn across the whole surface, replacement is often the more cost-effective long-term option.
We will always explain whether a repair is realistic or whether replacing the roof would make more sense overall.

Example flat roof project in the Orpington area
Location: Crofton Road, Orpington BR6
Problem: A rear extension flat roof had repeated leaks around the edge detail and ponding water after heavy rainfall.
What we found: The existing covering was ageing, joints were starting to fail and the detailing around the perimeter was no longer weather tight.
Work completed: We stripped the old roof covering, checked the roof deck, improved the detailing and installed a new waterproof flat roofing system suited to the size and layout of the roof.
Result: A neat new flat roof with much better weather protection and drainage performance.

FAQs - Flat Roofs Orpington
Which flat roof system is best for my property?
That depends on the size of the roof, the type of building, the detailing required and your budget. GRP, EPDM and modern felt systems can all work very well when matched to the right roof.
Can you repair a leaking flat roof or does it always need replacing?
Not always. If the issue is isolated and the roof is otherwise in decent condition, a repair may be possible. If the covering is deteriorating more widely, replacement is usually the better long-term option.

Yes. We regularly carry out flat roofing work on garages, extensions, dormers, porches and other small domestic roofs in Orpington and the surrounding area.
