Flat roof repairs and new flat roofs in Dewsbury
Flat roofs have a reputation for leaking, but a well-built one with a decent fall and the right covering will do the job for many years. Most of the problems we see with flat roofs in Dewsbury come from old felt that's reached the end of its life, poor falls that let water sit, or badly finished edges where the roof meets the house.
We repair and replace flat roofs on garages, kitchen extensions, back offshoots, porches and dormers. We fit EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and torch-on felt, and we'll recommend the system that suits your roof rather than the one that's easiest for us.
We're fully insured, have over 20 years' roofing experience and guarantee all our work. Quotes are free.

Flat roof systems we use
EPDM rubber
One-piece rubber membrane that suits garages, extensions and simple roof shapes.
GRP fibreglass
A tough, seamless finish that handles corners, upstands and awkward details well.
Torch-on felt
Modern layered felt systems, a dependable option for many homes and commercial roofs.
Repairs and patching
Splits, blisters and lifting edges repaired where the deck is still in good condition.
Flat roofs around Dewsbury
Many of Dewsbury's stone terraces have been extended at the back with flat-roofed kitchens or bathrooms, while the inter-war semis and post-war estates often have flat-roofed garages, porches and side extensions. Older felt on these roofs is a common source of leaks. On terraced offshoots, the junction with the main stone wall and the neighbouring extension needs particular care, and on dormers the sides matter as much as the top.
We work on flat roofs across WF12 and WF13, including Thornhill, Ravensthorpe and Savile Town, and out to Batley, Ossett and Mirfield. Dewsbury is covered by our Yorkshire team, who work across Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield and the surrounding towns.
What we check before quoting
We look at the covering, the deck underneath, the falls, the edge trims, the gutter outlet and where the roof meets walls. A soft or spongy deck, standing water or several old patches usually point towards replacement. A single split on an otherwise good roof can often be repaired.
You'll get a written quote that explains what we'll do and which system we'll use. Most domestic flat roofs are completed in a short visit, and we keep the area protected and tidy throughout.
Flat roof questions from Dewsbury
My garage roof leaks every winter. Repair or replace?
If it's an old felt roof that's been patched several times, replacement usually saves money in the long run. If the felt is fairly new and the leak is in one place, a repair may be enough. We'll check the deck and give you a straight answer.
Which lasts better, rubber or fibreglass?
Both EPDM and GRP are durable when installed properly. EPDM is great on simple shapes; GRP is better where there are lots of details or occasional foot traffic. The quality of installation matters more than the material, so we focus on getting the details right.
Can you fix the leak where my extension meets the house wall?
Yes. This is one of the most common flat roof leaks on Dewsbury terraces. It usually needs a properly formed upstand and a flashing set into the wall above, rather than sealant. We'll put it right so the junction stays watertight.
Why does water sit on my flat roof?
Usually because the roof has too little fall or the deck has sagged. Standing water shortens the life of any covering. When we replace a flat roof we can add firrings to improve the fall so water runs to the gutter.
Do you do flat roofs on dormers?
Yes. We replace felt on dormer roofs with felt, EPDM or GRP, and check the cheeks and the junction with the main roof at the same time, as dormer leaks often start at the sides.
Can a flat roof be replaced with a pitched roof?
Sometimes, for example on a garage or porch. It depends on the structure and may need planning advice from Kirklees Council. We can talk through the idea and point you in the right direction before you decide.
