Flat roofing in Folkestone
Long-lasting EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs for extensions, garages, dormers and porches.
Old felt flat roofs crack, blister and leak - usually right when the weather turns. We repair and replace flat roofs across Folkestone, Hythe and Sandgate using modern systems that last far longer and cope well with coastal weather. Whether it's a leaking garage roof or a new extension, we'll recommend the right system and give you a clear price.
Flat roof systems we fit
- EPDM rubber - a single seamless sheet, hard-wearing and long-lasting; ideal for most domestic flat roofs
- GRP fibreglass - a tough, seamless finish that's great for balconies and high-traffic areas
- Felt (torch-on) - a cost-effective modern multi-layer system done properly
- Flat roof repairs, re-covers and new-build flat roofs
- New outlets, trims, drips and edge detailing to stop standing water
Signs your flat roof needs work
Pooling water that doesn't drain, blisters or splits in the surface, water stains on the ceiling below, or a felt roof that's gone brittle and grey - all signs it's reaching the end. A re-cover now is far cheaper than dealing with rotten decking later.
What does a flat roof cost in Folkestone?
As a guide, an EPDM flat roof of around 25m² typically costs £2,000-£4,000, with GRP a little more and felt a little less. Size, access and the condition of the decking underneath all affect the price. See the Folkestone & Kent roofing cost guide for more.
Flat roofing FAQs
How long does an EPDM flat roof last?
A well-installed EPDM rubber roof can last 30 years or more, which is why it's our usual recommendation for domestic flat roofs.
Can you repair my flat roof rather than replace it?
If the decking is sound and the problem is localised, yes - a repair is cheaper. If the surface has failed across the roof, a re-cover is the better long-term value. We'll tell you straight.
Can you put a flat roof on a new extension?
Yes - we work with builders and homeowners on new extension and dormer flat roofs, fitted and detailed to last.
