Why does water stand on my flat roof in Hull?

Often the roof has settled or was laid without enough fall, or an outlet is blocked. Standing water speeds up wear, so it is worth having it checked. Call 01482 409295 and we will tell you what we find.

Can you repair a flat roof on a shop or small commercial unit in Hull?

We handle a range of roofs. Call 01482 409295 and tell us about the building and where it leaks, and we will say whether we can take it on.

What is felt roofing?

Felt roofing is largely made up of modified bitumen combined with either fibreglass or polyester. It often consists of several layers of material that form together and are sealed at the edges, resulting in a tight and durable bond between your property and the outside elements. The more common modern technique is to use a blowtorch to partially melt one side of the felt until it is sticky, and that side is then stuck down.

How long will a GRP roof last?

A professionally laid GRP fibreglass roof will last for at least 30 years with no measurable deterioration.

How much does a rubber roof cost in Hull?

Costs will vary depending on the size of your roof, the thickness of the EPDM rubber you want to use, how accessible your roof is and the length of time it may take. Contact us and we will be happy to offer a free site survey and quote for your rubber flat roof.

Is GRP fibreglass roofing better than felt roofing?

GRP fibreglass is a newer roofing system that lends itself best to flat roofing but is also suitable for pitched roofs in some applications. Fibreglass is more durable and stronger than felt. A fibreglass roof will last for more than 20 years and is less likely than felt to develop a fault.

How much does felt roofing cost in Hull?

Costs will vary depending on several factors such as the size of the roof, the roofing material chosen, the time and the materials needed to complete the job. No two felt roofing jobs are the same. Contact us and we will be happy to provide a free site survey and a no obligation quote.

What is a GRP roof?

A GRP flat roof, or fibreglass roofing as it is also known, is one of the most popular flat roofing solutions in the UK. GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Polyester, a composite material formed by strengthening plastic with fine fibres made of glass.

How many kinds of roofing felt are there?

There are approximately twenty, ranging from basic Standard 2mm felt to High Performance Polyester 6mm cap sheets.

How long will a new felt roof last?

The quality of the material selected for the roof and which way the roof faces in relation to the sun will determine this. On average, most good systems will last over 20 years.

Do felt flat roofs need to be covered with chippings or shingle?

This is not 100 percent necessary. New high performance felts have a granular mineral finish to the top layer which acts as UV and solar protection.

How long should a rubber roof last?

Because an EPDM rubber roof is made from rubber, the material is not affected by the sun UV rays or standard weather conditions such as snow, rain and wind. If maintained properly a rubber roof can last in excess of 50 years.

Are rubber roofs any good?

EPDM rubber roofs offer a wealth of benefits. They are incredibly long lasting, extremely easy to maintain as moss and algae do not grow on them, and environmentally friendly, as the EPDM is made from recycled rubber and materials.

Do fibreglass roofs need maintenance?

Although fibreglass roofs are much more resistant to heat, moisture, water and fire than alternative flat roofing materials, meaning they need much less maintenance, they still require a level of maintenance and cleaning occasionally.

Is a fibreglass flat roof more expensive?

Initially yes, however the long term benefits will be obvious as it will outperform a felt roof, and you will not have to worry about replacing it again for a very long time.

Can rubber be used on a pitched roof?

Flexi Proof EPDM rubber can be used on low pitched roofs. Our installers are experts in bonding the rubber membrane on low pitched roofs and have successfully installed many EPDM rubber roofs onto pitched roofs.

What is an EPDM rubber roof?

An EPDM rubber roof, a type of single ply roof, is an exceptionally durable roof made from synthetic rubber roofing membrane. It is usually fully adhered onto the flat surface and has a proven life expectancy of 50 years.
