Flat Roofing in Melksham, Wiltshire

If you're looking for a roof that's practically bulletproof, GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) is often the way to go. It's essentially a seamless skin that we liquid-apply over your roof deck, meaning there are zero joins or seams for water to creep through. Most of our Melksham customers love it for balconies or walkways because it’s incredibly tough and can handle being walked on without cracking. It looks sleek, too, giving your property a clean, modern finish. Because it's a cold-applied system, there's no need for hot torches or naked flames on your property, making it a very safe and popular choice for domestic extensions and garages.

Imagine a single sheet of high-grade rubber that can stretch and flex with the seasons without ever cracking or peeling. That’s exactly what EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) offers. We've installed countless rubber roofs across Wiltshire because they're incredibly durable—we’re talking a life expectancy of up to 50 years. It's highly resistant to UV rays, so it won't go brittle in the summer sun, and it handles the winter frosts just as easily. If you want a 'fit and forget' solution for your flat roof, EPDM is hard to beat. It’s eco-friendly, cost-effective, and we can usually install it in much larger single sheets to minimise joints entirely.

Forget the thin, papery felt of the past that used to bubble and tear after a few years. Today's high-performance torch-on felt is a completely different beast. It’s a multi-layer system that provides a thick, robust waterproof barrier that’s surprisingly affordable. We use the latest bituminous membranes, applied with precision to ensure every bond is watertight. It’s still one of the most popular choices for commercial units and residential outbuildings in Melksham because it offers a great balance between cost and performance. When installed by a team that knows exactly how to manage the heat and the layering, it's a brilliant, reliable option.

Have you noticed birds using your flat roof as a swimming pool? While it might look cute, standing or 'ponding' water is a sign that your roof isn't draining properly. Over time, the weight of that water and the constant soak can stress the structure and lead to catastrophic leaks. When we come out to your property in Melksham, we don't just look at the surface; we check the 'falls'—the slight angle needed for water to run off. Often, we can fix these issues by installing tapered insulation or adjusting the decking. Our goal is to make sure your roof stays dry, not just waterproofed, ensuring the structure underneath stays rot-free for decades.
