What a flat roofing job covers
Modern flat roofs aren’t actually flat, they’re built with a 1:80 fall to drainage. We size the system to the roof: EPDM for larger flat extensions, GRP for warm-roof dormers and detail-heavy work, three-layer felt for small garages. Right system, right detail, right warranty.
Strip and inspection of existing deck
Insulation upgrade where required for warm-roof spec
All upstands, kerbs and abutment detailing
20-year manufacturer warranty on EPDM systems
Replacement of soft or rotten timber
Single-piece EPDM or GRP membrane
Lead flashings and rainwater outlets

EPDM on a 25m² flat extension lands somewhere in that ballpark; GRP runs higher, and bigger or more detailed roofs push the figure up. Spec, insulation, upstands and access all matter. So does the firm — bigger contractors build in heavier overheads, while a small directly-employed local team like ours can usually be more competitive without being too small for the job.
Roof size. EPDM is more cost-effective above 25m².
Insulation. Warm-roof spec adds rigid PIR board and price.
Number of upstands. Walls, kerbs and rooflights add lead detail.
Outlet detail. Internal vs external rainwater drainage.
Access. Working over conservatories needs protection.

On extensions over 15m², yes, single-piece coverage means no laps to fail, and the lifespan is double.
No, every flat roof we lay has a designed-in 1:80 fall to drainage. Standing water is a defect, not a feature.
30–50 years on a quality install. We use Firestone and Classicbond and warranty for 20 years on the system.
Yes, both work over EPDM. We coordinate with the landscape or balcony spec early so the upstands and outlets are right.
