Overview

## Flat Roofs: what it is and when you need it

### What it is
Flat roofs cover extensions, garages, dormers, bay windows and many commercial buildings. We repair and replace them in three materials: traditional felt, EPDM (a single-sheet rubber membrane) and GRP (glass-reinforced plastic, often called fibreglass).

### Who it&#x27;s for
Homeowners with extensions and garages, landlords, and commercial property owners across Newcastle, Morpeth, Cramlington, Blyth and Northumberland. Both domestic and commercial flat roofs are welcome.

### When it&#x27;s needed
Get a flat roof checked if you see standing water that doesn&#x27;t drain, blisters or bubbles in the surface, splits and cracks, lifting edges, moss build-up, or damp patches on the ceiling below.

### Why use a professional roofer
Flat roofs depend on correct falls, sound joints and well-finished edges. Small mistakes in any of these let water sit and find a way in. Experienced roofers get these details right the first time.

The cost of waiting

## What happens if it&#x27;s ignored
Flat roofs usually fail at the joints, edges and low spots where water collects.

### Ponding water
Water that sits on a flat roof slowly works into weak points and adds weight to the deck.

### Rotten decking
Leaks soak the timber deck beneath. Once it softens, a simple re-cover becomes a deck replacement too.

### Damp below
Extensions and garages under a leaking flat roof suffer damp, mould and damaged contents.

### Repeated patching
Patch upon patch on an old felt roof can trap moisture and make the eventual replacement bigger.

### Common mistakes to avoid

- ✕Painting over cracks with a coating instead of repairing the covering.
- ✕Ignoring standing water because it eventually dries.
- ✕Re-covering over a rotten or wet deck.
- ✕Choosing a material without considering how the roof is used, such as foot traffic or a terrace.

In detail

## Flat Roofs explained

### Felt flat roofs
Felt is the traditional flat roofing material, laid in layers bonded to the deck. It&#x27;s a familiar, cost-conscious option and is easy to repair in sections. Modern felt systems are far tougher than older single-layer felt that many garages still have.

### EPDM rubber flat roofs
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane, often laid as a single sheet across the whole roof. Fewer joints means fewer places for water to get in. It stays flexible in cold weather, which suits the North East climate, and is a popular choice for extensions, garages and dormers.

### GRP fibreglass flat roofs
GRP is a fibreglass and resin system laid wet and cured into one seamless, hard-wearing surface. It&#x27;s well suited to roofs that see some foot traffic and gives a clean, neat finish with moulded edge trims.

At the survey we&#x27;ll explain how each material would work on your specific roof, including access, use and budget, so you can choose with confidence.

FAQs

## Flat Roofs questions

### How much does a flat roof cost in Newcastle or Morpeth?
+Every roof is different, so we don&#x27;t publish set prices. What we do is come out, survey the roof for free and give you a clear, no-obligation quote with photos of what we found. You know the cost before any work starts, and there&#x27;s no charge for the visit.

### What warranty do you give?
+Our work is backed by a warranty of up to 20 years. We&#x27;ll confirm the warranty that applies to your specific job in your quote, so you know exactly what&#x27;s covered before you agree to anything.

### Are you available out of hours and at weekends?
+Yes. CJroofing is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have a leak at midnight or storm damage on a Sunday, call 07861 498780 and speak to us directly.

### Which areas do you cover?
+We&#x27;re based in Morpeth and cover Newcastle, Morpeth, Blyth, Ashington, Sunderland, Lynemouth, Ellington, Cramlington, Bedlington, Ponteland, Pegswood and the surrounding North East.

### Which is best: felt, EPDM or GRP?
+Each has strengths. Felt is traditional and easy to repair, EPDM is a flexible single-sheet rubber with few joints, and GRP is a seamless, hard-wearing fibreglass finish. We&#x27;ll recommend the one that suits how your roof is used.

### Can a flat roof be repaired instead of replaced?
+Often, yes, especially where damage is local. If the deck is wet or the covering is failing across the roof, replacement is usually better value. Our photo report shows which applies.

### Do you do flat roofs on commercial buildings?
+Yes. We work for both domestic and commercial customers.
