How much does flat roof repair cost in Essex?

Small patch repairs typically start in the low hundreds; a full EPDM or GRP replacement is priced by deck size, access and whether the timber underneath needs replacing. We survey first and give you a written, itemised price before anything is booked in.

Can you repair my flat roof or does it need replacing?

If the deck is sound and the failure is local, a repair is usually the sensible call. Once a membrane is widely perished or the timber is soft, a repair only buys months — we tell you which one you're looking at and why.

How long does a flat roof replacement take?

Most domestic extension or garage roofs are stripped and re-covered in one to two days, weather permitting.

Do you cover emergency flat roof leaks?

Yes. Call 07901 278779 and we'll get the roof made safe and watertight, then quote the permanent repair.

Flat roofing systems

Repairs and re-covers we carry out

EPDM rubber

A single sheet of rubber membrane with no seams across the field of the roof — the option we fit most often on extensions, garages and dormers. Expect 25–30 years of service when the deck underneath is sound.

GRP fibreglass

Laid wet and cured into one solid, walk-on skin with colour-matched trims. Ideal for balconies, porch roofs and anywhere the roof gets used as well as looked at.

Torch-on felt

High-performance three-layer felt for larger commercial decks and like-for-like repairs where the existing build-up is still in good order.

Repairs & patching

Blisters, split seams, failed upstands, pooling water and perished flashings — repaired properly so the fix outlasts the next storm rather than the next shower.
