Flat roofs in Failsworth: garages, extensions and kitchen roofs
Walk down almost any street in M35 and you'll spot them: flat-roofed garages, single-storey kitchen extensions, porches and box dormers. Most were covered in traditional felt, and plenty of those coverings are now well past their best. Our flat roofs in Failsworth work covers both repairs and full replacements.
A flat roof usually fails in one of a few ways. Ponding water that sits for days, splits and blisters in the felt, failed edge trims, or a timber deck that has gone soft underneath. Some can be patched. Others need stripping back and starting again.
We fit EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and torch-on felt systems. All work is fully insured and guaranteed, and quotes are free.

Flat roofing options
EPDM rubber
A single-sheet rubber membrane with no seams across the middle, ideal for garages and extensions.
GRP fibreglass
A hard, seamless finish that copes well with occasional foot traffic and neat edge detailing.
Torch-on felt
Modern multi-layer felt, much tougher than the old pour-and-roll systems many garages have.
Flat roof repairs
Splits, blisters and leaking upstands patched where the deck below is still sound.
Why Failsworth has so many flat roofs to look after
Failsworth's post-war estates and inter-war semis were often built with, or later given, flat-roofed garages and rear extensions. Terraces have added single-storey kitchens and the odd dormer. Many of these were covered decades ago and never touched since, so it's common to find the original felt and chipboard deck still in place. When those finally go, the leaks tend to arrive all at once.
We repair and replace flat roofs across M35 and nearby Droylsden, Woodhouses, Moston, Newton Heath and Hollinwood. From our Manchester base it's around 3 miles to Failsworth, which keeps call-outs straightforward.
Choosing the right flat roof system
For most garages and extensions, EPDM is a reliable choice: quick to fit, flexible, and few joints. GRP suits roofs where you want a hard-wearing finish or neat details around rooflights. Torch-on felt remains a good option, especially where it ties into existing felt roofs.
We'll inspect the roof, check the deck for soft spots, and give you a written quote with the options explained. Most garage and extension roofs are completed within a day or two.
Flat roof questions from Failsworth
Can water sitting on my flat roof cause problems?
Small puddles that dry within a day or two aren't a worry. Water that sits for longer speeds up wear on felt and can find its way through any weak spot. Ponding is often caused by a sagging deck or poor falls. When we replace a flat roof, we can build in better falls so water runs off.
My garage roof leaks but it's only a garage. Is it worth fixing?
Usually, yes. A leaking garage roof lets the timber deck rot, damages anything stored inside, and can affect the wall of the house if the garage is attached. A small repair now is far cheaper than replacing the deck later.
Which lasts longer, EPDM or GRP?
Both are durable when installed properly, and both outperform old-style felt. The better choice depends on the roof: EPDM suits simple shapes, while GRP suits roofs with more detailing or occasional foot traffic. We'll recommend what suits your roof rather than one system for everything.
Can you replace the deck as well as the covering?
Yes. If the boards underneath have gone soft, we strip them out and lay a new deck before the new covering goes on. We'll check this at the survey by walking the roof and, where possible, looking from inside.
Do you work on flat roof dormers?
We do. Dormer roofs are often higher and harder to reach, so access is planned carefully. The same systems apply, and we pay particular attention to where the dormer roof meets the main pitched roof, which is a common leak point.
Can you add insulation to my extension roof?
Often, yes, when the roof is being replaced. Adding insulation can make a kitchen or extension more comfortable. Depending on the build-up, building regulations may apply, and we'll explain what's involved in the quote.
