Flat Roofing
Boston's mix of terraced housing near the town centre and light industrial units around the docks means flat roofs here take on very different jobs, from a rear extension on a Victorian terrace to a workshop roof that needs to shed water fast in the flat Fenland weather. C R Smith & Son fits felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass systems across Boston, and every quote is free and written, with a full breakdown of the materials and labour before you commit to anything. Whether it's a domestic extension or a commercial unit near the port, we'll recommend the covering that actually suits the building, not just the cheapest option on the day.
C R Smith & Son covers Boston (PE21) and the surrounding villages, including Skirbeck, Langrick, Swineshead Bridge, Wyberton and Frithville.
Cost
There's no single price for flat roofing in Boston, since every roof is different. What we can promise is a free, no-obligation written quote with a full breakdown before any work starts, so you know exactly what you're paying for. The main things that affect cost are:
What's included
Boston's flat roofs range from small porch and garage coverings to larger workshop and outbuilding roofs near the docks, so getting the deck and falls right matters as much as the covering itself.
Systems we fit
Not every flat roof in Boston needs the same covering. The right system depends on the building, the budget and how the roof will be used, so here's how the three systems we fit compare.
Felt is still a common, budget-friendly choice on smaller Boston roofs like porches and garden stores, where a straightforward covering does the job without a large outlay. It's quick to fit and easy to repair, though it has the shortest lifespan of the three systems we offer.
For extensions and outbuildings near the docks that need to shrug off standing water for years without fuss, EPDM rubber is usually our first recommendation. It comes as a single seamless sheet, so there are far fewer joints to fail than with felt, and it copes well with the flat, exposed weather Boston gets off the Wash.
GRP fibreglass gives a hard, walkable finish, which suits flat roofs that double as access routes or sit above workshop and storage areas near the docks. It's more expensive to fit than felt but forms a genuinely seamless, glass-like surface once cured.

How it works
Whether it's a domestic extension or a workshop roof near the docks, the process stays the same:
Survey and quote
We check the deck and falls, then quote for the covering that suits the roof and its use.
Strip and prepare
The old covering comes off and the deck is repaired or renewed so the new finish sits on something sound.
Lay the new system
Felt, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass is laid and dressed into the trims and upstands.
Finish and test
We finish the edges, check the falls, and make sure water drains away properly before we leave.
