Cost

How Much Is Flat Roofing in Eastville?

There's no single price for flat roofing in Eastville, since every roof is different. What we can promise is a free, no-obligation written quote with a full breakdown before any work starts. The main things that affect cost are:

  • 1The size of the roof, from a small porch covering to a larger outbuilding
  • 2Which system you choose, felt, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass
  • 3The condition of the existing deck and whether it needs repairing or renewing
  • 4How much of the old covering needs stripping off and disposing of
  • 5Eastville's exposed fenland position is worth factoring into system choice, which we'll discuss when we visit

What's included

What Our Flat Roofing in Eastville Includes

Eastville's flat roofs range from small porch and garage coverings to larger outbuilding roofs, so getting the deck and falls right matters as much as the covering itself.

Stripping the existing covering back to a sound timber or ply deck
Repairing or over-boarding the deck where it has sagged or rotted
Fitting felt, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass, chosen to suit the size and use of the roof
Building in the correct fall so water runs to the outlet rather than sitting on the roof
New trims, drip edges and upstands finished properly around walls and abutments

Systems we fit

Types of Flat Roofing C R Smith & Son Installs in Eastville

Not every flat roof in Eastville 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 Roofing fitted by C R Smith & Son near Eastville

Felt Roofing

Felt is still a common, budget-friendly choice on smaller 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.

EPDM Rubber Roofing fitted by C R Smith & Son near Eastville

EPDM Rubber Roofing

For extensions and outbuildings 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.

GRP Fibreglass Roofing fitted by C R Smith & Son near Eastville

GRP Fibreglass Roofing

GRP fibreglass gives a hard, walkable finish, which suits flat roofs that double as access routes or sit above storage areas. It's more expensive to fit than felt but forms a genuinely seamless, glass-like surface once cured.

How it works

How Our Flat Roofing in Eastville Works

On the open fen around Eastville, wind gets under a flat roof's edges as readily as rain sits on its surface, so here's how we lay one:

  1. 1

    Survey and quote

    We check the deck, the falls and how the edges are fixed, then quote for the system and any timber that needs replacing.

  2. 2

    Strip and prepare

    The old covering is removed, the deck is repaired or over-boarded, and firring is added where the fall needs improving.

  3. 3

    Lay and bond

    EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or felt is laid and fully bonded, with the trims mechanically fixed so the wind can't lift them.

  4. 4

    Test and tidy

    We check water clears to the outlet, inspect every edge and joint, and leave the yard or garden tidy.

FAQs about Flat Roofing in Eastville

Does Eastville's exposed position affect which flat roofing system I should choose?

Open fenland wind means getting the fall and edge detailing right matters even more than usual. We'll make sure water is directed away properly whatever system you choose.

Can you do a flat roof on a storage building or outbuilding?

We can re-cover flat-roofed outbuildings and stores at homes and smallholdings, as long as the structure underneath is sound. For larger areas, EPDM rubber is often the most practical option. We'll look at the deck and tell you what it needs.

Why has the felt on my extension blistered?

Blisters form when moisture or air trapped under the felt expands in the sun, which is common on older roofs with no shade to cool them. Out on the fen a roof gets sun all day, so it tends to show up sooner. A new, fully bonded system laid on a dry deck avoids the problem.

My porch roof is leaking. Is it too small a job?

Not at all. Porch and bay roofs are small, but they often leak where the covering meets the house wall. We'll re-cover it properly with a new upstand and flashing, and quote for it on its own or alongside other work.

Will you take away the old roof materials?

Yes. We clear all the old felt, boards and trims and take them away, so you're not left with a pile in the yard. Waste removal is included in the written quote.

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.
