Flat Roofing in Highworth, Swindon

Have you noticed water sitting in big puddles on your roof after it rains? In the trade, we call that 'ponding', and if it isn't sorted, it can lead to some pretty expensive headaches down the line. Most flat roof issues start because the water has nowhere to go, eventually finding its way through the tiniest gaps in the substrate or around the upstands. We've seen it all, and more importantly, we know how to fix it for good.When we come out to see you in Highworth, we don't just slap a patch on and hope for the best. We look at the whole structure. Is the decking solid? Are the falls correct so the water actually drains away? Sometimes a simple repair is all that's needed, but if your roof is past its best, we'll explain your options for a full replacement without the sales pitch. We want you to have peace of mind, knowing that the next time a storm rolls in over the Cotswolds, your roof isn't going to let you down.

If you're looking for a 'fit and forget' solution, EPDM rubber roofing is often the way to go. It’s a single-sheet membrane, which means no joins and, more importantly, no leaks. It’s incredibly flexible, too, so it won't crack when the temperature drops in winter or bake in the summer sun. In fact, these systems have a life expectancy of up to 50 years. That’s a long time not to worry about your roof!We find EPDM is perfect for domestic extensions and garages across Swindon and Highworth because it’s so lightweight yet incredibly tough. Because it's laid in one piece, we don't have to worry about seams failing over time. It’s a clean, cold-applied process as well, so there are no open flames on your property during the installation. It’s modern, efficient, and arguably the most cost-effective way to future-proof your home.

Need a roof you can actually walk on? If you've got a balcony or a roof terrace, GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) fibreglass is the gold standard. It creates a completely seamless, stone-hard surface that looks fantastic and performs even better. It’s the same stuff they use to build boat hulls, so you know it's going to keep the water out. We apply it cold, using high-quality resins and glass mats to create a finish that's virtually indestructible.Many of our Highworth customers choose GRP because of its aesthetic appeal. It gives a really crisp, clean look to orangeries and modern extensions. Plus, it comes in a variety of colours to match your window frames or fascias. It’s a bit more of a premium option than felt, but for areas with foot traffic or where you want that high-end architectural finish, you really can't beat it for durability and style.

Forget the thin, bubbly felt roofs of the 1970s. Today’s high-performance torch-on felt is a different beast entirely. It’s made of multiple layers of bitumen-impregnated membranes that are incredibly thick and resilient. It’s still one of the most popular choices for commercial flat roofing in Swindon because it's cost-effective and very fast to install. It provides a reliable, watertight seal that’s perfect for everything from garden sheds to large industrial units.When we install a felt roof, we ensure the flashings and edges are perfectly sealed to prevent any water ingress. It’s a great choice if you're on a budget but still want a professional, long-lasting finish. We use high-quality polyester-based felts that don't tear or perish like the old-fashioned versions, giving you a roof that’s tough enough to stand up to the elements for decades.
