Modern, watertight flat roof installations and repairs for homes and businesses — built to last and finished cleanly.
At LM Roofing, we specialise in high-quality flat roof installations and repairs for both residential and commercial properties. Flat roofs offer a modern, sleek appearance while maximising usable space — and when they're installed properly, they last for decades.
A flat roof requires careful attention to waterproofing and drainage. Poorly installed flat roofs are prone to leaks and water pooling, which causes significant damage over time. Our experts conduct a thorough assessment of your property and recommend the most suitable materials and techniques for your specific situation — GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber, modified bitumen or traditional felt.
Maintenance and timely repair are also crucial for extending the lifespan of a flat roof. We offer comprehensive inspection and repair services that range from minor patch repairs to full roof replacements, with prompt professional service that minimises disruption.
We use only premium-grade materials and proven techniques, and we work closely with you throughout every stage of the project — clear communication, expert advice and tailored solutions. Our workmanship is backed by guarantees for your peace of mind.
Lifespan depends on the material. Traditional felt typically lasts 10–15 years, EPDM rubber 25–30+ years, and GRP fibreglass 25–30 years when properly installed and maintained.
If the damage is localised — a single split, blister or seam — and the roof is less than 75% of its expected lifespan, repair usually makes sense. Widespread cracking, multiple leaks, sagging or persistent ponding usually means it's time to replace. We provide an honest assessment with both options quoted.
Replacing an existing flat roof with the same material does not normally require planning permission. New installations or changes in material may, especially on listed buildings or in conservation areas. We can advise on a case-by-case basis.
We can carry out emergency temporary repairs and tarp the affected area in most weather. Permanent repairs need dry conditions for adhesives and membranes to cure properly, so we'll schedule the lasting fix for the next available dry window.
From a small extension to a full commercial flat roof — same team, same standard.
