Flat roofing in Woking

Flat roof systems Shane fits

Every system goes onto a sound deck. If the boards are soft, they come off first.

Flat roof repairs

Splits, blisters, ponding water and leaks round the edges. Shane repairs the patch that has failed when the rest of the roof is sound, and tells you straight when it is not. A Woking customer had a long-term damp problem resolved in 24 hours.

Torch-on felt flat roofs

Three layers of felt, torched on over new 18mm OSB, with a drip edge and the system carried over parapet walls and coping. The Bagshot roof and the 110 square metre roof with a pitched conversion are both torch-on, with a 15-year guarantee.

See torch-on felt flat roofs

EPDM rubber roofing

A single sheet of EPDM rubber bonded to the deck, with no joints in the middle of the roof. Rubber roofs are on Shane's list of services and suit dormers, extensions and garages.

Also fitted: liquid roofing and single ply

Shane's Checkatrade profile lists liquid and single ply flat roofing too. Ask him which system suits your roof when he comes out.

How Shane does it

How is a new flat roof built?

The old covering comes off and the deck is checked. Soft or rotten boards are replaced with new 18mm OSB. Then the system goes on, with the edges, upstands and drip details done properly, because that is where flat roofs fail.

On a 110 square metre roof in February 2026 he added a pitched conversion so rainwater runs off instead of puddling, and finished it in two days with a 3-layer torch-on system and a 15-year guarantee.

  • Old covering stripped
  • New 18mm OSB deck where needed
  • Falls corrected so water runs off
  • Upstands, drip edges and parapets detailed
  • 15-year guarantee on 3-layer torch-on

Flat roof questions, answered

Torch-on, GRP or EPDM: which is best?

Each one has a job. 3-layer torch-on felt is tough, copes with foot traffic for maintenance and carries Shane's 15-year guarantee. GRP fibreglass cures into one joint-free skin, which suits parapet roofs and walkable areas: the Pirbright parapet roof was finished in Cure It GRP. EPDM rubber goes down as a single sheet with no joints in the middle, which suits dormers, extensions and garages.

Shane recommends one for your roof when he has seen the deck and the edges, and prices the alternatives so you can compare.

How long does a flat roof last?

As long as the deck under it and the detailing at its edges. A flat roof fails early when it is laid on soft boards or without enough fall, so water sits on it. Shane replaces soft decking with new 18mm OSB, corrects the falls and dresses the upstands and drip edges properly, and his 3-layer torch-on flat roofs carry a 15-year guarantee, as stated in his posts.

Straight answers

Flat roof questions

How long does a new flat roof take?

A garage or extension is often one or two days. The 110 square metre roof in Shane's February 2026 post took two days.

Why does water sit on my flat roof?

The deck has sagged or was laid without enough fall. Shane corrects the falls when he rebuilds it; on the 110 square metre roof he added a pitched conversion to stop the puddling.

Is a flat roof guaranteed?

Every job is guaranteed, and 3-layer torch-on flat roofs carry a 15-year guarantee, as stated in Shane's posts.

Flat roof leaking or puddling?

Shane checks the deck, tells you whether it is a repair or a new roof and gives you a fixed price.
