Where Flat Roofs Are Used

Flat roofs are common on kitchen extensions, garages, dormer windows, porches and bay windows. They are never completely flat. A slight slope, called a fall, lets rain run off to a gutter or outlet. If your flat roof holds puddles after rain, the fall may be wrong.

Flat Roofing Materials

The main options are built up felt, rubber membrane and fibreglass. Each has its own strengths in cost, lifespan and how it copes with foot traffic. The right choice depends on the size of the roof and how it is used. We explain which suits your job and why.

Signs of a Failing Flat Roof

Blisters, cracks, splits along the edges and water pooling on top all mean the roof is wearing out. Inside, look for damp patches or staining on the ceiling below. A small split can often be repaired, but a roof that leaks in several places usually needs replacing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a flat roof last in Salisbury?

A well laid flat roof often lasts 20 years or more, depending on the material. Traditional felt tends to have the shortest life, while rubber and fibreglass roofs usually last longer. Good drainage and the odd check help any flat roof in Salisbury reach the end of its expected lifespan.

Can you repair my flat roof in Salisbury or does it need replacing?

If the leak is in one spot and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair is usually fine. If the covering is cracked all over, the boards underneath are soft, or it has leaked more than once, replacement is often better value. We check the whole roof before recommending either.

How long does it take to fit a new flat roof in Salisbury?

Most garage and extension flat roofs take one to three days to replace, depending on the size and whether the deck boards need changing. Fibreglass needs dry weather to cure, so we plan around the forecast. We give you a likely timescale when we price the job.
