The roofs in Hull
Hull is the most mixed roof stock we work on. The Avenues and the terraces off Beverley Road and Newland Avenue are largely Victorian and Edwardian, which means natural slate, lead valleys and party wall abutments shared with the house next door. Move out to Bransholme, Sutton and the west of the city and it is post war concrete interlocking tile on felt underlay, most of it laid within the same twenty year window and now arriving at the end of its fixings together.
Hull's housing runs from the Avenues and the terraces off Beverley Road through to the post war estates north and east of the centre, and the roofs change completely as you move between them.
There is a great deal of flat roofing in Hull, largely on rear extensions, dormers and garages across the terraced streets and the post war estates. A lot of it is old felt on a chipboard deck, which is why we lift a corner and show you the deck before quoting rather than after.
What flat roofing in Hull involves
- Warm roof build upsInsulation above the deck rather than between the joists, so the deck stays warm and dry and you meet current Part L thinking on a re-cover.
- GRP fibreglassGlass reinforced polyester laid wet onto a new deck with bonded trims and a rolled topcoat, good on roofs with lots of detail.
- Rooflights and lanternsNew rooflights set on a kerb and weathered into the membrane properly.
That is the short version. There is a fuller explanation of the work, the materials and the detailing on our flat roofing page.
Signs your Hull property needs this
- Trims lifting at the edge or the upstand pulling away from the wall
- Felt that has gone grey and brittle and cracks when pressed
- Ponding that is still sitting there two days after rain
Choosing between EPDM, GRP and felt
EPDM suits most domestic flat roofs. It goes down as one piece of rubber, so on a typical extension or garage there is no seam anywhere in the middle of the roof to fail. It stays flexible in the cold and does not mind the movement a timber deck makes through the year.

FAQs
Flat roofing in Hull, questions we get asked
Do you fit rooflights into flat roofs?
Yes. We build the kerb, set the unit and weather it into the membrane so the detail around the frame is part of the roof rather than sealant holding it together.
Can you lay a new flat roof over the old one?
Sometimes, but not usually the right answer. Laying over hides a deck you cannot then inspect, adds weight, and buries any trapped moisture. We will tell you at survey whether an overlay is genuinely appropriate for your roof or whether it is a shortcut.
Do you cover Hull?
Yes. Hull is covered by our Hull office on 01482 961 240, and flat roofing is one of the services we run there every week. We also cover Sutton-on-Hull and Bransholme from the same office.
How quickly can you get to Hull for flat roofing?
Ring the Hull office on 01482 961 240 and we will give you a real date rather than a flattering one. Hull is in the middle of our Hull patch, so it is part of that team's normal patch.
Can you do other work while you are on the roof in Hull?
Yes, and it usually saves money. Once access is up, picking up the guttering, a chimney or a valley costs the labour and materials rather than a second lot of scaffold.
How soon can you start?
It depends on the size of the job and what is already in the diary. We will give you an honest lead time at quote stage rather than promising next week and turning up next month.
