The horizontal or near-horizontal orientation means water cannot shed by gravity as it does on pitched roofs. Instead, flat roofs rely entirely on waterproof membrane systems to prevent water penetration. When these systems fail, the consequences are immediate and often severe.
Traditional flat roofing materials have evolved dramatically over recent decades. The built-up felt systems common on extensions and garages from the 1970s and 1980s typically lasted ten to fifteen years before requiring replacement. Modern alternatives offer dramatically extended lifespans. EPDM rubber membrane, GRP fibreglass, and high-performance single-ply systems routinely achieve twenty to thirty years of reliable service with minimal maintenance.
JB Contractors installs and repairs flat roofing systems across Plymouth, Falmouth, Newquay, and throughout Cornwall. We work with all modern flat roofing technologies, recommending appropriate systems for each specific application. Whether you need a small garage roof, a large commercial installation, or anything in between, we deliver solutions that perform reliably for decades.
EPDM Rubber Roofing: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a synthetic rubber membrane that provides exceptional durability and flexibility. Single-piece installation eliminates joints on smaller roofs, removing the most common failure points. EPDM tolerates building movement, temperature extremes, and UV exposure without degradation. Typical lifespan exceeds twenty-five years with minimal maintenance.
GRP Fibreglass: Glass Reinforced Polyester creates seamless waterproof surfaces that are extremely tough and completely watertight. The liquid application process allows complex shapes and details to be waterproofed without joints. GRP is particularly suited to roof areas that receive foot traffic, as the surface withstands walking without damage. Expected lifespan typically exceeds thirty years.
Single-Ply Membranes: Various single-ply systems offer different characteristics suited to specific applications. TPO and PVC membranes provide excellent performance on larger commercial installations. These professionally-welded systems create continuous waterproof surfaces across extensive areas.
Flat Roof Repairs: Existing flat roofs showing signs of failure often can be repaired rather than replaced, depending on their condition and the type of deterioration. We assess flat roofs thoroughly, recommending repair where practical and replacement where necessary. Honest assessment prevents you from spending money on repairs that will not last.
Every flat roofing project begins with thorough assessment. We examine your roof carefully, identifying all issues and understanding their causes. We explain our findings clearly, using photographs where helpful, so you understand exactly what work is needed and why we recommend specific solutions.
Our detailed written quotations itemise every element of proposed work. You see exactly what is included, what materials we will use, and what each element costs. There are no hidden charges or surprise extras - the price we quote is the price you pay.
Work proceeds according to agreed timelines with clear communication throughout. Our experienced teams work efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards. We treat your property with respect, protecting gardens and access areas, and leaving everything clean and tidy when we finish.
All our work comes with written guarantees that we honour without argument. If anything is not right, we return and fix it. Many of our roofing installations also carry manufacturer-backed warranties of up to twenty years, providing additional peace of mind.
