Flat roofing in Scunthorpe
Flat roofing in Scunthorpe. We survey the roof first, photograph what we find and give you an itemised written quote, so you know what you are paying for before anyone starts. Our Scunthorpe office covers Scunthorpe on 01724 514 178.
Scunthorpe is in the middle of our Scunthorpe patch, so it is part of the Scunthorpe office's normal patch rather than a job we have to travel for. It covers the DN15, DN16 and DN17 postcode districts. That matters when you need somebody back to look at something.
The roofs in Scunthorpe
Scunthorpe's housing is overwhelmingly twentieth century, and that shapes almost every roof job in the town. Concrete interlocking tile laid on bituminous felt, across Bottesford, Ashby, Riddings and the estates north of the centre, most of it now fifty years old or more. The tiles usually look fine from the pavement. The nails holding them and the felt beneath them are the parts that have quietly run out of life.
Scunthorpe's housing is largely twentieth century, so a great many of its roofs are concrete interlocking tile laid on felt, all reaching the end of their fixings around the same time.
Flat roofing in Scunthorpe is mostly extensions, dormers and detached garages on estate housing, much of it original to the property. Where the deck has been wet for years a new covering over the top just buys a couple of seasons, so the deck is the first thing we look at.
What flat roofing in Scunthorpe involves
- EPDM rubberFirestone EPDM in a single sheet with no field seams, dressed into trims and upstands. Carries a 25 year guarantee from us on the Firestone system.
- GRP fibreglassGlass reinforced polyester laid wet onto a new deck with bonded trims and a rolled topcoat, good on roofs with lots of detail.
- Torch on feltTwo and three layer high performance felt where budget or the detail of the roof makes it the right call.
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 Scunthorpe property needs this
- Water staining on the ceiling below, often away from where the leak actually is
- Trims lifting at the edge or the upstand pulling away from the wall
- Chippings or mineral finish washed off in patches
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 Scunthorpe, questions we get asked
How long does a flat roof last?
A properly installed EPDM or GRP roof should give decades rather than years, which is why we guarantee our Firestone EPDM installations for 25 years. Old single layer felt was often failing inside ten, which is where the reputation came from.
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 Scunthorpe?
Yes. Scunthorpe is covered by our Scunthorpe office on 01724 514 178, and flat roofing is one of the services we run there every week. We also cover Bottesford and Flixborough from the same office.
How quickly can you get to Scunthorpe for flat roofing?
Ring the Scunthorpe office on 01724 514 178 and we will give you a real date rather than a flattering one. Scunthorpe is in the middle of our Scunthorpe patch, so it is part of that team's normal patch.
What does the free survey in Scunthorpe involve?
We come out, get on the roof where it is safe to, and photograph what is actually there rather than guessing from the ground. You get the findings and an itemised quote in writing.
Do you need to see the roof before quoting?
Yes, always. A roof quote given without seeing the roof is a number somebody hopes is high enough, and it is the reason so many people end up with a price that changes once work starts.
