"Called on a Monday after a storm shifted three ridge tiles overnight. The team arrived same day, made it watertight, and completed the full repair by Tuesday morning. Absolutely faultless."
"Had a GRP flat roof put on the rear extension. They stripped the old felt back to the deck, found some rotten board underneath and sorted it all. Competitive quote and no hidden extras."
"Victorian chimney stack had been leaking into the bedroom wall for two winters. Farnham — sorry, Wilmslow — Roofing repointed the whole stack and replaced the lead flashing. Dry as a bone since."
A garage flat roof in Wilmslow typically costs £900–£2,000 for GRP or EPDM depending on size. Rear extension roofs range from £1,500–£5,000. Full price depends on area, access and condition of decking.
A correctly installed GRP flat roof carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty and realistically lasts 30+ years in UK conditions. Given Wilmslow's above-average rainfall, a quality GRP system is a significantly better long-term investment than felt.
Wilmslow's annual rainfall is above the UK average, and standing water on a flat roof — caused by poor falls or blocked outlets — accelerates felt and membrane degradation. Proper drainage design is as important as the membrane specification.
Yes — and we recommend it for most Wilmslow properties. We strip the old system, assess and replace any damaged decking, and install a GRP or EPDM system with correct drainage falls. Typical lead time is 1–3 days depending on size.
A correctly installed GRP fibreglass flat roof has a 25-year design life. EPDM rubber is rated 30-50 years. Both significantly outperform standard felt which we do not install on replacement jobs.
Yes, though this involves structural work beyond roofing. We advise on the roofing element and can recommend structural contractors. Planning permission is usually required.
Flat roofs perform well provided falls and drainage are correctly specified. Inadequate falls causing pooling water is the most common failure cause — a design error we correct at survey before every flat roof quote.

Flat roofs on Wilmslow properties fall into three categories by era and performance. Pre-1980 asphalt and felt roofs on house extensions are now 40–70 years old and well past end of life. 1980s–90s torch-on felt systems on garages and rear extensions are 25–40 years old and at or approaching end of life. GRP and EPDM systems installed post-2000 are performing within design life on most properties, with the exception of those installed with inadequate falls that have ponded water throughout their service life.
Wilmslow's Bollin valley humidity affects flat roof performance in a specific way: felt systems on shaded north-facing or valley-floor properties deteriorate faster than equivalent systems in drier locations. Moisture trapped under a failing felt membrane in Wilmslow's persistent damp generates mould growth and boarding decay at a rate that can compromise the roof structure within a single winter if the leak is not addressed.
GRP fibreglass is the correct replacement for all flat roofs on Wilmslow residential properties. Its seamless membrane eliminates the joint failures that affect both felt and EPDM in areas of regular foot traffic. The 25-year design life at correct falls specification makes it the most cost-effective long-term solution on Wilmslow garage, extension and dormer flat roofs.
Wilmslow's relatively flat topography means flat roofs on properties here are entirely dependent on correctly designed falls — there is no natural ground slope to aid drainage. The minimum specified fall for a GRP or EPDM flat roof is 1:40 (approximately 25mm per metre). Falls below this lead to ponding, which holds water against the membrane surface and dramatically accelerates both felt and GRP degradation. We survey existing falls using a digital level at every survey and include fall correction in the installation specification where required.
