Flat Roofing Services in Farnham, Surrey
Flat roofs have slopes less than 15 degrees, and ideally they shouldn’t be absolutely flat. In order to prevent water pooling flat roofs should have a slope of at least 1 in 80 so that the rain is able to run off the edge.
Here at Secure Fix Roofing Ltd we have extensive expertise and experience in repairing and installing a range of flat roof systems for domestic and commercial customers across Surrey and the surrounding areas including; Guildford, Four Marks, Aldershot, Basingstoke, Walton-on-Thames, Godalming and nearby areas.
There are a variety of different kinds of flat roofing systems commonly used in the U.K., and whilst modern flat roofing systems can be trouble free for in excess of 30 years, many older flat roof constructions develop problems much faster and subsequently start to leak which can lead to serious problems such as rotting timber, mould and extensive damage to brickwork and plaster.

Torch on felt roofing
This roof system usually has three layers, vapour control layer, 2 mm reinforced felt layer, and a 4 mm cap felt layer which comes in two finishes; either a mineral flake finish, or plain bitumen ready to accept solar reflective paint. All of the felt layers are welded together using a large blowtorch. This type of roof would typically be guaranteed for 10 to 20 years and is the cheapest option. These roofs can often be repaired and patched relatively straightforward.
EPDM Rubber Roofing Specialists in Farnham and Surrey
A major advantage of this roofing system is that it can usually be installed in one simple layer without the need for any joins and it is attached to the deck using an adhesive. EPDM is light weight as well as very tough, and if treated well can last anywhere from around 25 to 50 years. Although more expensive than torch on felt roofing, it is still a highly affordable solution.
Modern GRP Fibreglass Roofing Systems
A GRP fibreglass roof could be the ideal solution for you if your roof requires modernising or is in need of replacing. They are extremely durable, weigh less than conventional slate or tiled roofs and are simple to install. Fibreglass roof systems have become very popular. Reasons for their popularity include:
They can be installed on any roof, on any property
They last longer than conventional roofs
You can choose a style or design to suit your property
They protect against fire as well as sunlight
There are no joints so therefore no possibility of leaks
All of our expert Surrey roofers here at Secure Fix Roofing Ltd are trained and skilled at professionally installing GRP fibreglass roofing systems, so there are no problems with successful installation.
Choosing the wrong roofing company can cost a lot of money in putting bad work right, therefore getting it right is crucial. Contact your local flat roof specialists today here at Secure Fix Roofing Ltd.

FAQs
Common questions
How long does a flat roof last?
It depends on the system. Torch on felt is typically guaranteed for 10 to 20 years, and an EPDM rubber roof that is looked after can last from around 25 to 50 years.
Is EPDM or GRP better for my roof?
Both are excellent. EPDM is a single layer rubber membrane with no joins, while GRP fibreglass gives a hard wearing, seamless finish. We will recommend the best fit for your roof after a free survey.
Can you repair a flat roof rather than replace it?
Often, yes. Felt roofs in particular can usually be patched and repaired. If the deck below has rotted, we will explain why a replacement is the better option.
Do you work on commercial flat roofs?
Yes. We repair and install flat roofs for domestic and commercial customers.
