Flat Roof Installation And Replacement
Flat roofs take a different kind of punishment to a pitched roof, with standing water and UV exposure being the main causes of failure over time. We install and replace flat roofs using liquid rubber roofing and flexible grip systems, both proven against ponding water and temperature movement that causes older felt roofs to crack and lift. Whether you're replacing a failing felt roof or fitting a flat roof on a new extension, the same process applies: the existing deck is checked for rot or movement, repaired where needed, and the new membrane is fitted and sealed to manufacturer specification. We work on residential extensions, garages and commercial flat roofs throughout Chelmsford, with the same standard applied regardless of size.
Repair Or Replace: Making The Right Call
Not every flat roof problem needs a full replacement straight away. If the membrane is sound and the issue is isolated, for example around a single seam or upstand, a repair can extend the roof's life without the cost of a full job. We'll tell you which applies after inspecting the roof, rather than defaulting to the bigger job. Where a flat roof has reached the end of its life, with widespread cracking, blistering or repeated leaks in different spots, replacement becomes the more cost effective option over continuing to patch it. Either way, you get a free, no obligation quote that explains the reasoning, so the decision is based on the condition of the roof rather than guesswork.
Warranty And Long Term Performance
Firestone rubber roofing systems carry a manufacturer's warranty of 25 or 50 years depending on the product specified, which reflects how the material is designed to perform over decades rather than a handful of years. On top of that, our own workmanship on every flat roof we fit is guaranteed for a minimum of five years. That matters because a flat roof is only as good as its installation; the same membrane fitted poorly will fail years before one that's been fitted correctly. With both the material and the fitting covered, you're protected on both sides of the job rather than just the product itself.
Why Flat Roofs Need Specialist Fitting
Flat roofing is fitted differently to a tiled or slated roof, and a poor seal or incorrect fall on the surface is usually what causes leaks rather than the material itself. Our team works with liquid rubber and flexible grip systems regularly, so falls, upstands and detailing around rooflights or pipework are fitted correctly the first time. We're a family run business based on Molrams Lane in Chelmsford, fully insured and trained in health, safety and first aid, and we've been fitting and repairing flat roofs across the area for over 19 years. If your flat roof has been a recurring problem with previous work, that local experience is usually what gets it fixed properly.
