Flat Roofing in Carterton, Oxfordshire

Have you ever looked out of an upstairs window after a downpour and seen a mini-lake sitting on your extension? Most homeowners we chat with in Carterton tell us they're worried about 'ponding' water. It's a valid concern, as standing water is the number one enemy of old-fashioned felt. Eventually, it finds a tiny crack, and before you know it, you've got damp patches on your ceiling. We specialise in fixing these issues by ensuring proper 'falls' (a slight slope) so the water runs off exactly where it should. We'll check your substrate and decking—those OSB3 boards underneath the surface—to make sure the structure is solid before we even think about laying the top layer.

If you want a roof that you can basically forget about for the next few decades, EPDM rubber (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a fantastic shout. Imagine a single, seamless sheet of high-grade rubber custom-cut to fit your roof perfectly. Because there are no joins, there's nowhere for water to get in. It's incredibly flexible too, which means it won't crack when the Oxfordshire frost hits or when it bakes in the summer sun. It’s UV resistant and has a life expectancy of up to 50 years. We often recommend this for residential garages and porches where longevity is the top priority.

Need a roof you can actually walk on? GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) is the way to go. It's essentially a cold-applied liquid resin reinforced with glass matting, which cures into a single, rock-hard skin. It looks incredibly smart with its smooth grey finish and bespoke upstands and flashings. Because it's so tough, it's the ideal choice for balconies or roof terraces. If you're looking to add a bit of value to your property in West Oxfordshire with a sleek, modern extension, a GRP fibreglass roof provides that clean, premium look while being completely watertight.

Don't mistake today's high-performance felt for the stuff they used thirty years ago. We use a multi-layer bituminous system that’s applied with a structural torch. This creates a thick, durable barrier that’s much more resilient than the old 'pour and roll' methods. It's a cost-effective solution that works brilliantly for commercial units and larger domestic projects alike. We're very particular about our installation process, ensuring every edge is perfectly sealed to give you total peace of mind without breaking the bank.
