Flat roofs in Bury, including EPDM rubber roofing
Plenty of people in Bury search for 'Firestone rubber' when their garage or extension roof starts leaking. What they're usually after is an EPDM rubber flat roof: a single-ply synthetic rubber membrane laid in one sheet where possible. We fit EPDM in Bury, along with GRP fibreglass and torch-on felt, and we'll help you choose what suits your roof.
A good flat roof comes down to the deck underneath, a proper fall so water runs off, and careful detailing at walls, edges and outlets. That's where we spend most of our time.

Flat roofs on Bury homes
Bury has a lot of flat roofs: garages on inter-war and post-war semis, back extensions on mill-era terraces, and dormers and porches on modern estates. Many were covered in felt years ago and are now cracking, blistering or ponding. Replacing them with EPDM or GRP gives a cleaner, longer-lasting finish, provided the deck and fall are put right first.
We install and repair flat roofs across BL8 and BL9, including Tottington, Walmersley, Elton, Unsworth, Radcliffe and Ramsbottom. From our Manchester base it's around 8 miles to Bury, which keeps call-outs straightforward.
How we replace a flat roof
We strip the old covering and inspect the deck, replacing any rotten or soft boards. If the roof doesn't fall properly, we add firrings so water drains to the gutter. Insulation can be added at this stage if you want a warmer room below.
Then the new covering goes on, with trims, upstands and outlets finished neatly. Most garage or extension roofs are completed quickly, weather permitting. Call 0800 046 1159 for a free survey.
Flat roof and rubber roofing questions
Is 'Firestone rubber' the same as EPDM?
Firestone is a brand name that many people use for EPDM rubber roofing in general. EPDM is the material: a synthetic rubber membrane used for flat roofs. We fit EPDM and can talk you through the membrane we'd use on your roof.
Is EPDM better than felt for a garage roof?
EPDM is often preferred for garages because it's laid in one sheet with few joints and copes well with temperature changes. Modern torch-on felt is also durable. The best choice depends on your roof and budget, and we'll explain both.
Can EPDM be laid over my old felt roof?
We generally recommend stripping the old felt so we can check the deck underneath. Laying over a damp or rotten deck traps problems. Stripping back gives a sound base for the new roof.
Why is my extension roof holding water?
Usually the roof has too little fall or the deck has sagged. When we replace it, we can correct the fall with firrings so water runs off rather than sitting on the surface.
Can a flat roof be repaired rather than replaced?
Yes, if the problem is local and the rest of the roof is in good condition. If the covering is failing all over, or the deck is soft, replacement is better value. We'll give you an honest view.
Do you do GRP on dormers in Bury?
Yes. GRP works well on dormers because it can be formed around edges and upstands neatly. We also pay attention to where the dormer meets the main roof, which is a common leak point.
