For flat roofs, it always pays to use a skilled and professional contractor like Saltire Roof Care Limited. We specialise in flat roofing and provide long-lasting, high-quality solutions across North East England, Leeds, and Scotland.
Most flat roofs are traditionally covered with roofing felt applied with hot bitumen. It’s a cost-effective option and, when properly installed, can last 15–20 years. For a longer-lasting solution, we also install EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass roofs. These are ideal for flat roof terraces and areas where durability and reliability matter, with a lifespan of 50–60 years, comparable to most pitched roofs.
Unlike felt, which relies on overlapping strips that can expand and contract with temperature changes, rubber and fibreglass roofs are seamless, highly waterproof, and virtually maintenance-free, creating a reliable watertight barrier for your property.
