A flat roof is any roof with a pitch below 10 degrees. Flat roofs are common on extensions, garages, dormers, porches, and commercial buildings across Newport and South Wales. Flat roofing is the right choice when you're replacing an old felt roof, building a new single-storey addition, waterproofing a dormer, or covering a commercial property. The days of three-layer felt flat roofs that fail after 10 years are over. Modern EPDM and GRP systems provide 20–30 year performance with minimal maintenance. We install flat roofing systems across Newport, Cardiff, Cwmbran, Chepstow, Pontypool, and the wider South Wales area. ## Why Old Flat Roofs Fail — and What It Costs You Traditional three-layer felt flat roofs have a lifespan of 10–15 years in ideal conditions. In the Welsh climate, many felt roofs fail in under 10 years. Water ingress through a flat roof is insidious. It travels along the roof deck, often appearing several metres from the actual leak point. Many homeowners respond by calling out a roofer to patch the felt. This costs £150–£300 per visit and rarely lasts more than 12–18 months. The cost-effective solution is to replace the failed felt with a modern EPDM or GRP system. Our Process ## How We Deliver Results 1 ### Survey & Assessment We inspect the existing roof covering, roof deck, insulation, drainage, and internal condition. 2 ### System Specification We recommend EPDM or GRP based on your roof size, shape, access requirements, and budget. 3 ### Strip & Deck Preparation Old coverings removed. Roof deck inspected and repaired or replaced as needed. 4 ### Membrane Installation EPDM bonded in a single seamless sheet or GRP laminated in layers to form a jointless shell. 5 ### Trim, Drainage & Completion Edge profiles fitted. Outlets connected. Final inspection and guarantee documentation provided. Benefits ## What You Get ### 20–30 Year Lifespan Modern systems last 2–3 times longer than traditional felt. ### Seamless & Watertight EPDM is installed in a single sheet. GRP forms a rigid, seamless shell. ### Zero Ponding Risk We ensure correct falls so water drains to outlets. ### UV & Temperature Resistant Both withstand UV exposure and thermal movement without cracking. ### Low Maintenance Only an annual visual check and gutter clearance required. ### Walkable Surface (GRP) GRP flat roofs can be finished with a non-slip topcoat. ## EPDM vs GRP: Choosing the Right Flat Roofing System EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane supplied in large sheets. It can cover large areas in a single sheet with no joints. We use Firestone RubberCover EPDM as our primary system. It carries a 20-year manufacturer guarantee. GRP is a fibreglass system laminated on-site. It's ideal for complex roof shapes with multiple penetrations. GRP is our recommendation for balcony roofs and any flat roof that will be walked on regularly. For commercial flat roofing, we also install single-ply membrane systems. We install rigid PIR insulation boards to achieve U-values compliant with Part L of Building Regulations. Drainage design prevents the ponding that destroys flat roofs.
