Cost
How Much Is Flat Roofing in Bourne?

What's included
What Our Flat Roofing in Bourne Includes
A flat roof in Bourne usually needs to cope with a modest extension roof or garage conversion rather than a large commercial span, so getting the fall and detailing right is what makes the difference.
Stripping the old covering back to a sound deck
Repairing or over-boarding the deck where needed
Fitting felt, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass to suit the roof
Correcting the fall so water runs to the outlet instead of pooling
New trims, drips and upstands finished properly
Systems we fit
Types of Flat Roofing C R Smith & Son Installs in Bourne
Not every flat roof in Bourne 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.
EPDM Rubber Roofing
For a kitchen extension or garden room roof, EPDM rubber is usually the best all-round option. It's a single seamless sheet with no joints to fail, and it needs almost no maintenance once it's fitted correctly.
GRP Fibreglass Roofing
GRP fibreglass gives a hard, walkable finish that suits garage roofs or any flat roof that doubles as a terrace or storage access point. It costs more than felt upfront but is genuinely low-maintenance for decades.

FAQs about Flat Roofing in Bourne
How long does a flat roof last?
A well-fitted EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass roof can last 20 years or more on a typical Bourne extension or garage. Felt is a lower-cost option with a shorter lifespan. We'll explain the trade-offs when we quote.
Do flat roofs need ventilation?
Most flat roofs need some ventilation to prevent condensation building up underneath, which is worth checking on any Bourne extension more than a few years old. We assess this as part of every survey.
Do flat roofs leak?
Not when they're fitted correctly. The most common cause of leaks on Bourne extensions is a roof that was never built with the right fall, so water sits rather than drains. We correct that when we re-cover.
How often do flat roofs need replacing?
Felt generally lasts 10 to 15 years, while EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass can go 20 years or more with basic upkeep. We'll give you a realistic estimate based on your roof's age and condition.
Felt, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass, which should I choose?
Felt is the budget-friendly option, EPDM rubber is durable and near maintenance-free in a single seamless sheet, and GRP fibreglass gives a hard, walkable finish. For a straightforward extension or garage roof, EPDM rubber's single-sheet, low-maintenance finish is often the most cost-effective long-term choice. We'll recommend the system that suits your roof and budget.
Can you re-cover my roof without stripping it?
Sometimes, if the existing deck is sound. More often it pays to strip back to a good surface so the new covering lasts. We'll check the deck and tell you honestly what it needs.
Is the quote free?
Yes. Every quote from C R Smith & Son is free and without obligation, with a clear breakdown of the system and cost.
