Cost

How Much Is Flat Roofing in Saxilby?

There's no single price for flat roofing in Saxilby, 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
  • 5Saxilby'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 Saxilby Includes

Saxilby'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 Saxilby

Not every flat roof in Saxilby 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 Saxilby

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 Saxilby

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 Saxilby

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 Saxilby Works

In a low-lying village like Saxilby, condensation under the deck is as common a problem as a worn-out covering, so here's how we replace a flat roof:

  1. 1

    Survey and quote

    We check the covering, the deck and the timbers underneath for damp, and work out whether the roof needs insulation or ventilation adding.

  2. 2

    Strip and renew the deck

    The old covering comes off, wet or rotten boards are replaced, and insulation or vents go in where the roof needs them.

  3. 3

    Lay the new system

    Your chosen system, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or felt, is laid to a good fall so rain runs straight to the gutter.

  4. 4

    Test and clear

    We seal the wall upstands and edges, run water across the roof to check the drainage, and take every scrap of old covering away.

FAQs about Flat Roofing in Saxilby

What's the best flat roofing system for a Saxilby garage?

EPDM rubber is usually our first recommendation for garages, a single seamless sheet that copes well with standing water and needs very little upkeep.

Why does my Saxilby extension roof drip inside when it hasn't rained?

That's usually condensation rather than a leak. Warm, moist air from the room below meets the cold underside of the deck and forms water, which then drips back down. We put it right with insulation and ventilation built into the new roof.

Can you fit a flat roof on a garden room or summer house?

Yes. Garden rooms and summer houses are often roofed with cheap felt that doesn't last. EPDM rubber is a neat, long-lasting option for them, and we'll make sure the edges are finished tidily so it looks good from the house.

Is a warm roof or a cold roof better for my extension?

For most extensions a warm roof, with the insulation laid on top of the deck, is the better choice because it keeps the timber warm and avoids condensation. It does raise the roof height slightly, so we'll check it works with your windows and walls before recommending it.

How do I know if my flat roof deck is rotten?

Soft or springy patches underfoot, dips where water sits and staining on the ceiling below are all signs. On a Saxilby extension, condensation can rot the deck from underneath without the covering looking bad, so we check from above and below when we survey.

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.
