Flat Roofing in Kettering, Northants
Flat roofs earn their reputation honestly: when they fail, they do it indoors. The counter to that reputation is a system chosen for the roof and fitted with proper edge trims, falls and junctions. We survey every Kettering flat roof with the free drone survey, photograph the deck, the upstands and the outlets, and quote from what the roof actually is.
Around Kettering we work on the full range: garage roofs on the interwar and post-war estates out towards Wicksteed Park and Barton Seagrave, extensions and dormers on the older streets near the Market Place and the Corn Exchange, and lean-to and carport roofs across the suburbs. The covering choices are high-performance felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass, and the right one depends on the roof's size, pitch and what sits above it.
We fit each system as it should be fitted: plywood or properly conditioned decking where needed, tapered firrings so water reaches the outlet, and trims and upstands dressed into the wall rather than mastic-ed over. Poor detailing, not the membrane itself, is why most flat roofs fail early, and detailing is the part we refuse to rush.
For Corby-side work, our flat roofing in Corby page covers the same systems. Material deep-dives are on our EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass pages, and garage roofs specifically on the garage roofs page.
Flat Roof Systems We Fit
High-performance felt
Torch-applied mineral felt in two or three layers, the dependable choice for garages and smaller extensions, with neat edge trims and proper falls.
EPDM rubber
One seamless rubber membrane over the whole roof: no laps across the field, minimal maintenance and a long, quiet life. See our rubber roofing page.
GRP fibreglass
Moulded in place over the deck with integrated trims, seamless and tough under occasional foot traffic. See our GRP roofing page.
Flat roof repairs
Open laps, split felt and failed trims repaired where the deck is sound, with an honest view on when repair stops being worth it.
Falls and outlets fixed
Ponding killed by correcting falls and clearing or renewing outlets, because standing water is what ages a flat roof faster than anything.
Photographed before we quote
The drone survey records the deck condition and every junction, so you know whether you are paying for a repair or a replacement before you agree.
How Hiring Us Works
Call or WhatsApp
Tell us what is going on and where you are. Most surveys are booked within days, and emergencies are treated the same day where we possibly can.
Free drone survey
We fly the roof and photograph every face, ridge, valley and flashing. You get to see the pictures, not just hear a summary.
A quote built on what we saw
The price follows the photographs. You will know which tiles failed, why the leak happened, and what the options are, including the cheap one.
The work, and the paperwork
We complete the job, clear up properly, and on bigger projects we handle planning and building controls through to sign-off.
Why Kettering Homeowners Choose Us for Flat Roofs
Vetted and approved
We work to UK consumer protection laws and we are happy to be judged on the paperwork as much as the workmanship. Quotes are written, clear and itemised.
Insurance and buyer reports done properly
Storm claim, leak claim, or a house purchase you do not want to get wrong. We produce the detailed reports that decide these things, based on real evidence from the survey.
Red tape handled
Re-roofs and bigger alterations often touch planning rules and building controls. We manage both with the council so you never have to learn the jargon.
The drone goes up, always
It is the single biggest difference between us and a roofer quoting from the drive. Chimneys, ridges, valleys, flat roof edges and hard-to-reach slopes all get seen close up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which flat roof system should I choose?
It depends on the roof. Felt suits most garages and budgets, EPDM suits larger or awkward-shaped roofs that want a seamless field, and GRP suits roofs that get walked on. We recommend from the survey, and we fit all three properly.
Why do flat roofs fail?
Mostly detailing: poor upstands, mastic instead of lead, no falls to the outlet. The membrane is rarely the culprit, which is why we concentrate on trims, falls and junctions.
Can you repair part of a flat roof?
Yes, where the deck beneath is sound. If the deck has taken water and swelled, patch repairs will not hold and we will say so, with the survey photographs to show you why.
Do you cover villages around Kettering?
Yes, including Barton Seagrave, Weekley, Burton Latimer and the surrounding villages, from our Corby base.
Are you vetted and approved roofers?
Yes. Roof Professionals UK is a vetted and approved roofing company, and we follow UK consumer protection laws on every job, from a single tile to a full re-roof.
