Flat Roofing in Burford, Oxfordshire

Have you ever looked out of an upstairs window after a heavy Oxfordshire downpour and noticed a 'swimming pool' forming on your extension? That's what we call ponding water, and it's usually the first sign that a flat roof is reaching the end of its life. Traditional felt roofs used to have a bit of a bad reputation for cracking and leaking, but the technology has moved on leaps and bounds. We specialise in modern, high-performance systems designed to handle the unpredictable British weather. From the moment we arrive for a site survey to the final tidy-up, our goal is to make the process as stress-free as possible. We know how much you value your home, so we treat every job—from a small porch to a large double garage—with the same level of care and precision.

If you're looking for a 'set it and forget it' solution, EPDM rubber roofing is often our top recommendation. Imagine a single, seamless sheet of high-grade rubber tailored to fit your roof perfectly—that's EPDM. Because it's one continuous piece, there are no joints or seams for water to creep into. It's incredibly durable, UV resistant, and has a life expectancy of up to 50 years. Most homeowners in Burford choose this for its incredible longevity and low maintenance. It doesn't crack or rot, and it stays flexible even in the freezing winter months. If you want a roof that you won't have to think about again for decades, this is the one for you.

For those who need a roof that can handle a bit of foot traffic—perhaps for a balcony or a roof terrace—GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) is the way to go. It’s essentially the same material used to build boat hulls, so you know it's completely watertight. We apply it as a liquid that cures into a single, solid, and incredibly tough surface. It looks fantastic, too, with a crisp, clean finish that complements both modern extensions and older properties in West Oxfordshire. It's completely seamless, meaning there's nowhere for water to get in, and it's virtually impossible to penetrate. If you’re tired of patching up an old roof every winter, GRP offers a permanent, attractive solution.

Don't mistake modern felt roofing for the thin, papery stuff from thirty years ago. Our high-performance torch-on felt systems are built using multiple layers of bitumen-reinforced membranes. It’s a cost-effective, tried-and-tested method that provides a thick, resilient barrier against the elements. We use the latest techniques to ensure every layer is perfectly bonded, creating a roof that is both flexible and strong. This is a brilliant option for those looking for a reliable, professional finish on a budget, and it’s a popular choice for garages and outbuildings across Burford and the wider Oxfordshire area.
