Cost
There's no single price for flat roofing in Gainsborough, 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:
What's included
Gainsborough'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.
Systems we fit
Not every flat roof in Gainsborough 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 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 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 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
Near the Trent, damp and condensation can shorten the life of a flat roof, so ventilation is built into how we replace one in Gainsborough:
Survey and quote
We check the covering, the deck and the timbers below for damp, and see how the roof drains and how we'll get materials to it.
Strip and check the deck
The old covering comes off, damp or rotten boards are replaced, and vents or insulation are added where the roof needs them.
Lay the new system
Felt, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass is laid to a proper fall, with neat upstands where it meets the house.
Finish and test
Edges and flashings are sealed, water is run across to check it drains, and the site is cleared.
