Flat Roofing in Ossett, Wakefield

If you're looking for a roof that you can effectively 'fit and forget,' EPDM rubber is usually our top recommendation. Imagine a single, seamless sheet of high-grade synthetic rubber tailored perfectly to your roof's dimensions—that means no joints for water to seep through. We use Firestone EPDM because it's incredibly tough; it won't crack under the summer sun or become brittle when the Ossett winter kicks in. In fact, these systems have a life expectancy of over 50 years. You might have seen us installing these on dormers or large commercial units across Wakefield. It's a fantastic, low-maintenance choice that handles the 'ponding' water often found on older flat roofs without breaking a sweat. Plus, because it’s so flexible, it moves with your building, so you won't have to worry about the structural shifts that often cause traditional materials to fail.

Need a roof that's strong enough to walk on? If you use your flat roof as a balcony or if you've got a garage roof that needs to withstand more than just the rain, GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) fibreglass is the way to go. Unlike traditional felt, GRP is cold-applied, so there's no need for open flames on your property. It creates a completely seamless, stone-hard finish that looks incredibly smart—usually in a sleek grey that suits both modern and traditional Ossett homes. We've replaced countless old, bubbling felt roofs with GRP, and the difference is night and day. It’s virtually bulletproof against the elements. If you're worried about your extension's energy efficiency, we can also look at upgrading your insulation while we're at it, ensuring your project meets current Part L Building Regulations. It's a great way to keep your heating bills down while securing your home's structure.

Not every flat roof needs a high-tech rubber membrane, and modern torch-on felt has come a long way from the stuff used thirty years ago. We still install high-performance bituminous felt for many of our Ossett customers who want a cost-effective, durable solution. We use a three-layer system that provides a thick, resilient barrier against water ingress. It’s a popular choice for garden sheds, smaller garages, and outbuildings. The key to a good felt roof is in the detail—specifically the 'upstands' where the roof meets the wall and the lead flashing repairs. We take the time to ensure every corner is sealed tight. We’ve seen plenty of DIY felt jobs go wrong because the seams weren't bonded properly, so why take the risk? Our team has the experience to ensure your felt roof is laid perfectly the first time.

Choosing a roofer can feel like a bit of a minefield, can't it? You want someone who’ll turn up when they say they will and won't vanish the moment they've been paid. We pride ourselves on being different. As a fully registered company (No: 16557299) with £5 million in public liability insurance, we provide the kind of peace of mind you just don't get with a 'man with a van.' We're based right here in the area, serving Ossett, Horbury, and the wider Wakefield region. When we give you a quote, it’s a fixed price with no hidden 'surprises' halfway through the job. Whether it’s a quick repair to some lead flashing or a full commercial flat roof replacement, we treat every project with the same level of care. We’ll even handle the boring bits like skip permits if your property is on a busy Ossett street. Our goal is to make the whole process as stress-free as possible for you.
