Cost
How Much Is Flat Roofing in Market Deeping?
There's no single price for flat roofing in Market Deeping, 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:

- 3The condition of the existing deck and whether it needs renewing
- 4How much of the old covering needs stripping off and disposing of

What's included

Stripping the old covering back to a sound deck

Systems we fit
Types of Flat Roofing C R Smith & Son Installs in Market Deeping
Not every flat roof in Market Deeping 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
EPDM rubber is our usual recommendation for extension roofs, thanks to its single-sheet, seamless construction and long service life with minimal upkeep. It's a strong middle-ground option between cost and longevity.
GRP Fibreglass Roofing
GRP fibreglass suits garage roofs and any flat roof that needs a hard, walkable surface. It's a more premium finish than felt or rubber, but forms a genuinely seamless covering once cured.

FAQs about Flat Roofing in Market Deeping
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 Market Deeping extension or garage. Felt is the lower-cost, shorter-life option. We'll go through the trade-offs when we quote.
Do flat roofs need ventilation?
Flat roofs generally need some ventilation to stop condensation forming, which is worth checking on any Market Deeping extension that's a few years old. This is part of every survey we carry out.
Do flat roofs leak?
Not if they're fitted correctly. Most leaks on extension roofs in this area come down to an incorrect fall or ageing felt, both of which we put right when we re-cover.
How often do flat roofs need replacing?
Felt typically needs replacing every 10 to 15 years; EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass can go 20 years or more. We'll give you a straightforward estimate based on your roof's age.
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 garage or single-storey extension roof, GRP fibreglass gives a hard, walkable finish if the roof doubles as a terrace or storage access point. 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.
