Flat and Rubber Roofing in Chester
Flat roof repairs
Leaks may result from splits, failed joints, damaged edges, blocked outlets or defects where the roof meets walls, rooflights or pipes. We inspect the roof and surrounding details to identify the likely entry point before recommending a repair. Where an old covering has deteriorated extensively, replacement may provide better value than repeated patching.
EPDM rubber roofing
EPDM is a flexible single-ply membrane used on many domestic flat roofs. A correctly prepared deck, compatible trims and careful detailing are essential to its performance. We can advise whether EPDM is suitable for the roof, whether the existing covering can remain, and what preparation or insulation work may be required.
Typical Flat roof and EPDM rubber roofing work can include:
- Leak investigation and local repairs
- Replacement flat roof coverings
- EPDM membrane installation
- Edge trims, outlets and abutment details
- Roofs to garages, extensions, dormers and porches
- Green-roof preparation or installation only if this remains a current service

Frequently Asked Questions for Flat Roofing and Rubber Roofs.
Can a flat roof be repaired?
Many can. The right approach depends on the age of the covering, the number and location of defects, and the condition of the deck beneath it.
Can EPDM go over an existing system?
Sometimes, but only after the existing roof and substrate have been assessed. The build-up must be dry, stable and compatible with the proposed system.
How long will the work take?
Timescales depend on roof size, access, preparation and weather. Your quotation will indicate the expected programme of works.
