Choosing The Right Flat Roofing System For Leyland Clients

We install some of the most reliable modern flat roofing systems available today. The best option for your property depends on the roof’s design, condition and how you use the space. We’ll always explain your choices clearly, including costs, so you can make the right decision with confidence. 

High-Performance Felt Roofing (SBS / APP)

A modern upgrade of the traditional felt system, high-performance felt is a strong, layered solution with a long and proven track record in the UK. It’s especially suited to roofs with lots of details, such as extensions, porches, garages, refurbishments and repair projects. 

EPDM Rubber Roofing

EPDM is a durable, low-maintenance single-ply membrane that works brilliantly on simpler roof shapes. It’s ideal if you want a clean finish and long-term performance with minimal fuss. 

GRP Fibreglass Roofing

GRP provides a seamless, smart-looking surface, making it a popular choice for domestic garages and extensions. It performs best where the roof deck is smooth and level, allowing for a high-quality finish.

Not Sure Which System Is Right?

No problem — we’ll happily talk you through the pros and cons of each.

Main Types of Flat Roofing

In the UK, most domestic and light-commercial flat roofs you’ll come across fall into three broad camps: single ply (EPDM rubber membranes), high-performance felt (SBS/APP modified bitumen systems), and GRP (glass reinforced polyester / fibreglass).
Here’s a brief over view of each one.

1) High-Performance Felt: SBS and APP polymer-modified systems

When people say “felt” these days, they often mean torch-on modified bitumen, not the thin, basic mineral felt that gave the category a bad name years ago. Modern systems use bitumen membranes modified with polymers — mainly SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) and APP (atactic polypropylene) — to improve flexibility, durability, and resistance to cracking.

Why high-performance felt remains popular.

High Tensile Felt Roofing essentially this looks like the traditional “felt roof” but is incredibly durable. Unlike traditional felt, High Tensile will stretch and form with your roof. This is important as roofs tend to expand and contract with weather changes. Over the years traditional felts tear and leak. Built up felt roofing is one of our specialities.

It’s great for complex detailing: If you’ve got lots of corners, upstands, or awkward junctions, felt systems can be excellent because they’re designed to be built up and dressed in.

It has a proven track record with a long history of modified bitumen in UK roofing with well-documented materials backed by certification.

2) Single Ply Systems: EPDM synthetic rubber membranes

If you’ve heard someone say “rubber roof”, they usually mean EPDM. It’s a synthetic sheet membrane supplied in large pieces, which is handy because fewer seams generally means fewer opportunities for water to find a way in. EPDM is also known for coping well with UV exposure and temperature swings — a big deal in our “four seasons in a day” climate.

RubberBond EPDM synthetic sheet rubber membrane is a material that will not tear, split or crack, Is unaffected by ozone and UV radiation and can easily accommodate building movement.

3) GRP: Glass Reinforced Polyester (fibreglass roofing)

GRP (often just called “fibreglass”) is a liquid resin applied over a prepared deck and reinforced with glass fibre matting, forming a hard, seamless surface once cured. It’s particularly common on domestic flat roofs where people want a clean finish and crisp edges. GRP can be a good solution for smaller roofs.

It offers a seamless waterproof layer: No sheet joints across the field area of the roof, which many homeowners find reassuring. The finished surface can look sharp, especially around trims and upstands. And it has quite a long life when installed correctly.

________________________________________

Extra inspections might be smart if:

  • Your roof is older & wearing out
  • You live where storms, heavy rain, or extreme heat are common
  • You’ve already seen signs of damage
  • Regular checks aren’t just box-ticking.

They:

  • Catch small problems before they snowball
  • Add years to your roof’s lifespan
  • Lower the odds of leaks sneaking in
  • Keep your property value higher
  • Give you peace of mind

If it’s been more than a year since your last check, it’s probably overdue.

How long should a flat roof last?
A professionally installed flat roof should last many years. As a guide:

  • Felt systems: around 10–20 years
  • EPDM rubber: 20–30+ years
  • GRP fibreglass: 20–30 years

With over 25 years of roofing experience, we make sure every roof we install is built to last

How do I know if my flat roof needs repairing?
Signs to look out for include:

  • Damp patches or water stains on ceilings
  • Drips during heavy rain
  • Blistering, cracking or splits on the roof surface
  • Standing water that doesn’t drain away

If you’re unsure, we’re happy to inspect it and give straightforward, no-pressure advice.

Can you repair my flat roof instead of replacing it?
In many cases, yes. If the damage is localised and the rest of the roof is in good condition, a repair can be a cost-effective option. If a replacement would save you money long term, we’ll explain why. Our approach is simple: the right job, not the most expensive one.
How much does a new flat roof cost?
Costs depend on size, materials, and access, but we’re known locally for competitive pricing without cutting corners. After a free survey, we’ll provide a clear, detailed quote so you know exactly what’s included.
Do you offer guarantees?
Yes. Our flat roofing work comes with a 15 year workmanship guarantee and many of the systems we install include manufacturer-backed warranties too. We believe in doing the job right the first time — and standing by our work.
How long does flat roof installation take?
Most domestic flat roof projects are completed within 1 to 3 days, depending on size and weather. We always aim for a timely service while maintaining the highest standards of workmanship.

Flat Roofing Company – Case Study

Progress Housing: Burneside, Kendal

Paramount Roofing has over 25 years of experience providing Progress Housing with  all manner of flat roof repairs and rebuilds on houses, bungalows, dormer bungalows, extensions, flats, commercial & industrial properties, sheds, garages and outhouses all around the North West and other parts of the UK.

This semi-detached house in Kendal, has a single story concrete flat roof structure over an auxiliary room which the tenant had flagged with bad condensation issues. The roof was last recovered 23 years subsequently had several repairs carried out to it.

After a review of the roof’s history and site inspection, Paramount determined that the provision of a “warm roof” solution would provide a suitable remedy by isolating the concrete roof from cold external temperatures.

Defective felt covering was stripped from the roof and bituminous primer applied.

The “warm roof” was achieved by constructing of a 50mm vapour controlled insulation layer using Eco-Therm boards which provide a thin and durable insulation solution for flat roofs. A proprietary torch on cover was then applied over the insulation layer.

Capping sheets, raised upstands on the perimeter of the roof, a new gutter and fascia boards were installed to complete the installation.
