Flat Roofing
Modern flat-roof systems can outlast the building beneath them when installed correctly. We recommend the right system for the deck, exposure and detailing — not the one we happen to stock.

Questions we're asked most.
How long should a flat roof last?
+
A well-installed EPDM or GRP roof commonly performs for 20+ years; torch-on felt typically 15–20 depending on grade.
Can you replace just a leaking section?
+
Sometimes. We'll tell you honestly if a full replacement is more economical over the medium term.
Do you provide a free written quote?
+
Yes. We survey the roof, then send an itemised written quote you can compare line-by-line. No verbal-only estimates and no pressure to commit.
Are you fully insured?
+
Yes — public liability and employers' liability cover. Proof of insurance is available on request before you engage us.
Do you supply photo evidence of completed work?
+
Every job closes with a before/during/after photo pack. On drone-surveyed jobs we include aerial imagery as well.
How do you handle waste and site tidiness?
+
Skip or grab-lorry provision is included in the quote. Site is swept and left as we'd want our own home left — no nails on the drive, no debris in the flowerbeds.
Which areas of Cumbria do you cover?
+
Carlisle, wider Cumbria, the Lake District and selected areas of the Scottish Borders. If you're near the boundary, call — we'll tell you honestly.
