Which option fits your home?
GRP fibreglass roof
Glass-reinforced plastic laid as a liquid resin and matting over a board deck, which cures into a hard, joint-free, walkable surface. GRP works well on roofs with awkward shapes, roof lights and balconies, and comes in grey and other colours. It must be laid in dry conditions and needs a stable deck.
EPDM rubber roof
A single sheet of synthetic rubber bonded to the deck, often in one piece with no joints on smaller roofs. EPDM handles temperature changes well, is quick to lay and needs little maintenance. It's a good all-round choice for garages and extensions, though it has a plain black finish and needs care around complex details.

Flat roofing in Leamington Spa: common questions
How should I prepare for a new flat roof?
Clear the garage or room below of valuables in case of dust from the deck, and move cars if the skip or materials need the drive. Let us know about any satellite dishes, vents or pipes on the roof. If the roof is next to a neighbour's wall or boundary, a quick word with them about access helps.
Do you cover Leamington Spa?
Yes. Leamington Spa (CV32) is about 25 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.
Why does my flat roof leak when the surface looks fine?
Most leaks start at the edges, joints, outlets or where the roof meets a wall, not in the open middle of the roof. Water can also travel along the deck before it shows on the ceiling, so the stain may be a long way from the actual entry point. We check these details at survey before suggesting a repair or replacement.
Will I need permission from the council in Leamington Spa?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Leamington Spa is provided by Warwick District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
