Flat Roofs in Hull

Which flat roof system suits your building?

Flat roofs across Hull sit over single-storey extensions, garages, dormers, porches, bay windows and commercial units, and many of them were laid in felt a long time ago. When one starts to pond, blister or let water in at the edges, patching only buys time. We strip the old covering back, check the timber deck and joists underneath, and build a replacement roof that sheds water and suits the way the space below is used.

There are three systems we lay. Torch-on felt is built up in layers and finished with a mineral cap sheet, and it is usually the most economical choice. EPDM rubber, which we fit as certified RubberCover installers, goes down as one sheet with very few joins. GRP fibreglass, fitted as approved Cure It installers, is laminated on site into a hard, jointless finish that can take foot traffic. We talk you through the trade-offs for your roof rather than pushing one answer.

A new roof is also the moment to put right what sits beneath it. Rotten or soft decking is replaced, and where the height at walls and door heads allows, a warm roof build puts insulation above the deck to help keep the room below warmer. We set falls so water runs to the outlet or gutter instead of sitting, and as a VELUX-approved installer we can fit skylights or a roof lantern while the roof is open.
