Cost

How Much Is Flat Roofing in Market Rasen?

There's no single price for flat roofing in Market Rasen, 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
  • 5Market Rasen's properties vary in age and roof condition, so we always quote after seeing the job rather than guessing

What's included

What Our Flat Roofing in Market Rasen Includes

Market Rasen'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 Market Rasen

Not every flat roof in Market Rasen 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 Market Rasen

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 Market Rasen

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 Market Rasen

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 Market Rasen Works

Trees and woodland around Market Rasen drop a lot onto flat roofs, so drainage is planned in from the start of every job:

  1. 1

    Survey and quote

    We check the deck, the falls and the outlets, look at what collects on the roof from nearby trees, and write a quote with the recommended system.

  2. 2

    Strip and repair

    The old covering is removed, damaged or soft boards are replaced, and the fall is improved where water has been sitting.

  3. 3

    Lay and dress

    The new felt, EPDM or GRP covering is laid and dressed into the trims, with upstands taken properly up the wall.

  4. 4

    Drain and clear

    We check the outlet or gutter takes the water away cleanly, finish the edges, and leave the site clear.

FAQs about Flat Roofing in Market Rasen

How do I know if my Market Rasen flat roof needs replacing rather than repairing?

Ponding water, a sagging deck, or a felt covering that's cracking and lifting at the edges usually means it's time to replace rather than patch. We'll give you an honest view when we look at it.

Leaves from nearby trees keep blocking my flat roof. What can I do?

On roofs near trees, leaves and twigs gather at the outlet and hold water on the surface. A well-laid fall and a correctly placed outlet or gutter help a lot, and a quick clear in autumn keeps it working. We'll plan the drainage around it when we replace the roof.

Do you re-roof flat-roofed garden buildings as well as extensions?

Yes, as long as the structure is sound enough. EPDM rubber is often a good fit for smaller garden buildings because it goes on in one sheet. We'll check the timber frame and deck and give you a clear price.

Will a new flat roof leak where it meets my house wall?

Not if the join is done properly. The covering is taken up the wall as an upstand and a flashing is cut into the brickwork above it, so water runs over the joint rather than behind it. On older walls in Market Rasen we check the mortar first so the flashing has something sound to sit in.

Is GRP fibreglass worth the extra cost?

GRP gives a hard, seamless finish that suits roofs you might need to walk on for maintenance, and it looks very neat on smaller extensions. It does cost more than felt. We'll set out the options side by side in your quote so you can choose.

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.
