Flat roof repairs and replacements in Ripon
Plenty of Ripon homes have a flat roof somewhere: over a rear kitchen, on a garage, across a dormer or a back offshoot. They tend to be out of sight, which is exactly why problems go unnoticed until the ceiling stains. Our flat roofs in Ripon service covers both repairs and full replacements.
We install three main systems. EPDM rubber is a single sheet with few joints. GRP fibreglass gives a hard, seamless finish that works well where you need to walk on it occasionally. Torch-on felt is a proven multi-layer option. Each has its place, and we'll recommend one based on the roof, not on habit.

Flat roofing we offer
EPDM rubber roofs
One-piece rubber membranes with neat trims, well suited to garages, extensions and simple roof shapes.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Seamless, hard-wearing finish laid over new decking, ideal for dormers and roofs with awkward details.

Layered felt systems bonded to the deck, a reliable choice for larger or commercial flat roofs.
Flat roof repairs

Flat roofs on Ripon extensions and outbuildings
On older properties near the city centre, flat roofs are usually found on rear additions and later extensions, sometimes hidden behind parapets where drainage needs careful detailing. On the newer estates, garages and kitchen extensions are the most common. Converting a flat roof or adding a dormer can involve planning, especially in the conservation area, so check with North Yorkshire Council before changing the shape or height of a roof.
We work on flat roofs across HG4, including Sharow, North Stainley, Bishop Monkton and Littlethorpe. Ripon is around 30 miles from our North Yorkshire office in Norton, Malton, and is covered by our Yorkshire team.
Repair or replace? How we decide
If the decking underneath is firm and the leak comes from one split, lifted edge or failed upstand, a repair is usually enough. If the roof feels spongy underfoot, water sits in large pools, or the felt has cracked and blistered all over, the deck may have been damaged and replacement is often better value.
We'll inspect the roof and, where possible, the ceiling below, then explain what we've found. The written quote covers the system we recommend, any decking replacement, trims and drainage outlets.
Flat roof questions from Ripon homeowners
Which flat roof material lasts longest?
EPDM and GRP both have good long lifespans when installed properly, and modern torch-on felt systems are far better than old single-layer felt. Installation quality and drainage matter more than the brand name. We'll recommend the system that suits your roof's size, shape and use.
Why does water pool on my garage roof?
Ponding usually means the roof doesn't have enough fall, or the deck has sagged over time. Standing water speeds up wear on any material. When we replace a flat roof, we can add firrings to improve the fall so water runs off to the gutter.
Can you replace a flat roof on a dormer?
Yes. Dormer roofs are small but fiddly, with tight edges and junctions with the main roof. GRP or EPDM both work well. We pay close attention to the lead or trims where the dormer meets the slates or tiles, as that's where leaks often start.
My flat roof is behind a parapet. Is that a problem?
It needs care. Parapet roofs rely on outlets and gutters to drain, and blocked outlets can flood the roof quickly. We check the upstands and outlets carefully and make sure the new covering is properly dressed up the parapet walls.
Can a flat roof be repaired in winter?
Small repairs can often be done in dry spells. Full installations need dry conditions, and some materials have temperature limits. If a leak needs stopping in bad weather, we can make a temporary repair and return for the permanent job.
Do you do flat roofs on commercial buildings?
Yes. We work on shops, offices and commercial units as well as homes. Larger flat roofs often suit torch-on felt or EPDM, and we'll plan the work to keep disruption to the business as low as possible.
