Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) flat roofs, commonly known as fiberglass roofs, are a popular choice due to their durability and seamless finish. A Tom’s roofer constructs GRP systems by applying layers of resin and fibreglass matting, which form a watertight, strong surface that can last over 25 years with minimal maintenance.

This makes GRP roofs ideal for domestic properties like extensions and garages, as well as commercial venues such as cafes and restaurants. Their sleek, modern appearance can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of a building.

Benefits of GRP flat roofing include:

  • Seamless, waterproof finish
  • Highly durable with low maintenance needs
  • Resistant to UV damage and extreme weather
  • Long lifespan of over 25 years

EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane that offers excellent weather resistance and flexibility. EPDM roofs are highly versatile and can be fitted to a wide variety of roof shapes and sizes.

Their exceptional durability and resistance to UV rays, ozone, and extreme temperatures make EPDM roofs perfect for both industrial and commercial properties, including factories, hospitals, and retail spaces, as well as residential homes around Bristol, Bath, and Keynsham.

Key benefits of EPDM roofs:

  • Long lifespan of up to 50 years
  • Flexible and adaptable to various structures
  • Superior resistance to UV, ozone, and temperature fluctuations
  • Eco-friendly, as it’s recyclable

Felt flat roofs are a traditional yet reliable roofing system, often used in domestic properties such as sheds, garages, and bungalows.

Made from layers of bitumen-based felt material that are torched down or cold-applied by a qualified Tom’s roofer, these systems offer excellent waterproofing. While felt roofs may not have the lifespan of GRP or EPDM, they remain an economical choice for smaller structures and are straightforward to install and repair.

Advantages of felt roofs:

  • Cost-effective solution
  • Provides excellent waterproofing
  • Easy to repair and maintain
  • Suitable for smaller structures
