Flat Roofing for Homes in Golborne
Flat roofing keeps us busy in Golborne, partly on the rear extensions, dormers, garages and porches added to the estate houses, and partly on the shop and unit roofs along the High Street. A good few were done in felt years back, and once that felt blisters, splits or starts holding water in a low spot, it lets damp through into the room or storeroom below. We strip it off and re-cover in EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass, both of which see off the old felt by a wide margin.
We cover Golborne and the surrounding area: High Street, Bank Street, Kenyon, Church Lane, Stone Cross and beyond (WA3).

What’s Included
The weak point on almost every flat roof is where it meets a wall or the main pitched roof, so we take our time over those upstands and abutments in the same visit, in lead where lead belongs. Everything is laid to falls so the water runs off to the outlet instead of sitting in a puddle until the next downpour finds a way in. You end up with a flat roof that is watertight, not one that looks fine until the first heavy rain off the East Lancs Road.

- GRP fibreglass with a hard-wearing gel top coat
- High performance felt where it suits the job
- Falls corrected so water drains instead of ponding

- Edge trims, outlets and upstands fitted to spec
How It Works
Flat Roofing in Golborne, FAQs
For most extensions, dormers and garages around Golborne we would fit EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass. Both are a long way ahead of the old felt, and which one suits comes down to the size, the shape and the detailing, which we go through on site.
Yes. We do the flat roofs on units and shops along the High Street as well as house extensions, and we can often work around opening hours so a leaking roof gets fixed without shutting you down for the day.
Both are excellent when fitted right, so it comes down to the roof. EPDM suits larger, simpler roofs because it goes down in one continuous sheet and copes with a bit of movement. GRP gives a hard, walkable finish and crisp edges, which suits smaller roofs, balconies and roofs with lots of detail. We quote whichever suits yours, or both so you can compare.
All the time. Single and double garage roofs are one of our most common flat roofing jobs, usually stripped, decked and finished in EPDM in a day or two.
