Flat roofs in Whitby that hold up in the wind
Flat roofs on the coast have a particular enemy: wind getting under an edge and peeling the covering back. That is why detailing matters so much here. Our flat roofs in Whitby work focuses on secure edges, proper upstands and coverings that suit the exposure.
We install EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and torch-on felt, on dormers, rear extensions, garages and commercial roofs. We also repair flat roofs that still have plenty of life in them.
Surveys are free, quotes are written, and all work is guaranteed.

Flat roofs on Whitby properties
Many of Whitby's historic cottages and terraces have dormers, rear offshoots and later additions with flat roofs, often squeezed between taller buildings on the slopes above the harbour. Salt air and strong onshore winds are hard on roofs, gutters and fixings, and on flat roofs the edges and junctions take the strain. GRP is popular on dormers for its neat finish, while EPDM suits larger simple roofs. If you are adding a dormer, check with North Yorkshire Council, especially in the conservation area.
We fit and repair flat roofs across YO21 and YO22, including Sleights, Ruswarp, Sandsend, Robin Hood's Bay and Briggswath. Whitby is around 26 miles from our North Yorkshire office in Norton, Malton, and is covered by our Yorkshire team.
Repair or replace your flat roof?
Lifted edges or a single split on an otherwise sound roof can usually be repaired. Widespread cracking, multiple leaks, standing water and a spongy deck point towards replacement.
Call 0800 046 1159 and we will inspect, check the deck where possible and give you a clear written price for the right option.
Whitby flat roof questions
Will a rubber roof blow off in a Whitby gale?
Not if it is fitted properly. EPDM should be fully bonded to the deck, with edge trims and upstands secured. Most wind problems come from poorly fixed edges, so we pay particular attention to them on exposed roofs.
Is GRP a good choice for a dormer roof?
Yes. GRP forms a seamless, rigid finish around edges and upstands, which suits the small, detailed roofs of most dormers. It also looks neat from below, which matters on the steep streets where dormers are visible.
My flat roof leaks where it meets the cottage wall. Why?
The junction between a flat roof and an older stone or brick wall is a common weak point. If the upstand or flashing has failed, rain running down the wall gets behind it. We rebuild the upstand and fit new flashing to fix it.
Can you replace a flat roof on a holiday let quickly?
Most flat roofs on extensions and dormers take one to two days, weather permitting. EPDM and GRP need dry conditions, so we plan around the forecast and, where possible, around bookings.
Do you work on flat roofs on shops and commercial premises?
Yes. We repair and replace flat roofs on commercial buildings as well as homes, and can arrange work to keep disruption to trading low.
Does salt air damage flat roofs?
The covering itself copes well, but metal trims, fixings and outlets can corrode. We use suitable fixings and trims so the edges stay secure, and check outlets and gutters, which are often where coastal flat roofs start to fail.
