Flat Roofing in Ascot
Flat roofs get a poor reputation largely because of how they were built in the past: overlapping felt, little or no fall, and detailing that failed at the edges long before the middle. Modern single-ply and liquid systems, installed with the right build-up, last considerably longer.
We install and repair flat roofs across Ascot on extensions, garages, porches, dormers and link sections between pitched slopes.

What it involves
What our flat roofing work covers
- Assessing the existing deck, insulation and falls before specifying a system.
- Renewing or firring the deck so water runs to the outlet rather than ponding.
- Insulation upgrades where the roof is being rebuilt.
- Installing EPDM rubber, torch-on felt or GRP depending on the roof and use.
- Forming upstands, kerbs, drips and trims properly at every edge.
- Tying flat sections into adjacent pitched roofs, walls and rooflights with correct leadwork.
Problems customers bring to us
- Standing water sitting on the roof days after rain.
- Blisters, splits or bubbling across an old felt covering.
- Leaks appearing at the junction with a wall rather than in the field.
- Soft or springy areas indicating a saturated deck.
- Rooflights and outlets that were never properly dressed in.
Signs the work may be needed
- Damp along the inside edge of an extension ceiling.
- Gravel or chippings washed into the gutter.
- Felt lifting at the perimeter trims.
- A roof that has been patched more than once in the last few years.
Our process
How the job runs, start to finish
- Step 1
Survey
We check the deck, falls, outlets and abutments — the leak is usually at a detail, not in the middle of the roof.
- Step 2
Specification
We recommend a system based on the size of the roof, foot traffic, and how it meets the surrounding structure.
- Step 3
Installation
Old build-up stripped, deck corrected, insulation and membrane laid, all edges and upstands formed.
- Step 4
Water test and sign-off
We check drainage before leaving and explain the maintenance the system needs.
Options
Materials and systems we work with
Torch-on felt
A multi-layer reinforced bitumen system, robust and repairable, with a proven track record.
GRP fibreglass
A seamless resin system that works well on smaller roofs and balconies where a hard-wearing surface is needed.

FAQs
Flat Roofing questions
- It depends on the system and the build-up beneath it. A properly installed modern membrane with correct falls will considerably outlast the overlapping felt roofs it usually replaces.
