We were expecting our roof repair work to cost more than it actually did in the end. The Roof Specialist quoted a very resonable price considering the amount of work the old roof required. The new tiles were a perfect match and they even cleaned up fully after they finished. Great job!
Really quick to respond to our message and provided the best quote of all the companies we tried. The guys were polite and happy to answer our constant questions!
We’re really happy with the slate roof and will definitely recommend them to friends and family.

FAQs on Flat Roofs in Bletchingley
The quality of the material selected for the roof and which way the roof faces in relation to the sun will determine this. On average, most good systems will last over 20 years.
GRP/Fibreglass is a newer roofing system that lends itself best to flat roofing but is also suitable for pitched roofs in some applications. Fibreglass is more durable than felt and stronger too. A fibreglass roof will last for more than 20 years and it’s less likely than felt to develop a fault.
A professionally laid GRP fibreglass roof will last for at least 30 years with no measurable deterioration.
EPDM roofs offer a wealth of benefits that traditional roofing materials don’t offer. The main benefits are that they’re incredibly long-lasting, extremely easy to maintain as moss and algae don’t grow on it and it’s environmentally friendly as the EPDM is made from recycled rubber and materials.
Costs will vary depending on the size of your roof, the thickness of the rubber you want to use, how accessible your roof is and the length of time it may take. Contact us and we will be happy to offer a free site survey and quote for your rubber flat roof.
Because an EPDM rubber roof is made from rubber, the material cannot be affected by the sun’s UV rays as well as standard weather conditions such as snow, rain and wind. If maintained properly a rubber roof can last in excess of 50 years.
A GRP Flat Roof, or fibreglass roofing as it’s also known, is one of the most popular flat roofing solutions in the UK. GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Polyester, a composite material formed by strengthening plastic with fine fibres made of glass.
Felt roofing is largely made up of modified bitumen combined with either fibreglass or polyester. Felt roofing often consists of several different layers of material that form together and are sealed at the edges, resulting in a tight and durable bond between your property and the outside elements.
There are several methods of applying a felt roof to a building, but the more common technique in modern times is to use a blowtorch to partially melt one side of the felt until it is sticky. This side is then stuck down.
Initially yes, however, the long-term benefits will be obvious as it will outperform the felt roof – you won’t have to worry about replacing it again for a very long time.
This is not 100% necessary. New high-performance felts have a granular mineral finish to the top layer which acts as UV and Solar protection.
Flexi Proof EPDM rubber can be used on low-pitched roofs. Our installers are experts in bonding rubber membranes on low-pitched roofs. We have successfully installed many EPDM rubber roofs onto pitched roofs.
Although fibreglass roofs are superior and much more resistant to heat, moisture, water and fire than alternative flat roofing materials meaning that they need much less maintenance as a result, they still require a level of maintenance and cleaning occasionally.
An EPDM rubber roof is an exceptionally durable roof made from synthetic rubber roofing membrane. An EDPM roof is usually fully adhered onto the flat surface and has a proven life expectancy of 50 years.
