Flat Roofing

TRANSFORMING THE EXTERIOR OF YOUR
PROPERTY - BUILT TO LAST

A traditional felt roof is a flat roof surface that is built up using a wooden base and adding 2-3 layers of bitumous felt.  These are then bonded together with heated bitumen and are subject to a finishing top coat that provdes both and attractive surface whilst helping  protect the new roof from the elements. This type of roof forms a dense and impermeable barrier to the elements.

We offer complete rebuild or a repair service.

Types of Flat Roofing Systems We Install

Different flat roofing materials provide different benefits depending on the structure, budget and required lifespan of the roof. At TC Home Improvements we work with several proven roofing systems.

Felt Roofing

Traditional felt roofing remains a popular and reliable flat roofing option. It is constructed by building up multiple layers of bituminous felt over a solid timber base, creating a dense waterproof barrier that protects the roof structure from moisture and weather exposure.

The layers are bonded together using heated bitumen and finished with a protective surface coating to improve durability and weather resistance.

Benefits of Felt Roofing

  • Strong waterproof barrier

  • Cost-effective roofing solution

  • Resistant to UV exposure and weather damage

  • Durable layered construction

  • Suitable for garages, sheds and extensions

Felt roofing continues to be a trusted system for many flat roof installations thanks to its reliability and affordability.

Rubber Roofing (EPDM)

EPDM rubber roofing is a modern flat roofing membrane widely used on residential and commercial buildings. This synthetic rubber material is extremely durable and designed to resist weathering, UV exposure and temperature changes.

Rubber roofing membranes are installed in large sheets which reduce seams and joints, helping create a strong waterproof surface across the roof area.

Benefits of Rubber Roofing

  • Highly durable and long lasting

  • Excellent resistance to UV rays and weather

  • Flexible material that adapts to temperature changes

  • Low maintenance roofing solution

  • Suitable for extensions, garages and outbuildings

EPDM rubber roofs are becoming increasingly popular due to their durability and long lifespan.

Fibreglass (GRP) Roofing

Fibreglass roofing, also known as GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester), is a tough and durable roofing system that creates a seamless waterproof finish across the roof surface.

This system uses specialist resins and reinforcing fibres to create a rigid and highly weather-resistant surface, making it ideal for many flat roofing applications.

Benefits of Fibreglass Roofing

  • Seamless waterproof finish

  • Long lasting and durable surface

  • Low maintenance roofing system

  • Ideal for balconies, garages and extensions

  • Clean, modern appearance

GRP roofing is widely recognised as a strong and reliable solution for flat roof installations.
