When to call

When a flat roof needs replacing

Once water reaches the deck, a covering job becomes a rebuild. These are the signs worth acting on early.

  • Ponding water still sitting there two days after rain
  • Bubbling, blistering or rippling in the surface
  • Splits or gaps opening at the joints and upstands
  • The roof feels soft or springy underfoot
  • Staining or damp patches on the ceiling below
  • Felt that has gone brittle and cracks when pressed
  • Flashings lifting where the roof meets the wall

How it works

Choosing the right system

STEP 01

GRP fibreglass

Seamless, hard-wearing and walkable. The best choice for balconies and any flat roof you will actually stand on.

STEP 02

EPDM rubber

One single sheet with no joins to fail, and very long-lived. Good for garages and extensions.

STEP 03

Torch-on felt

A three-layer system, cost-effective and genuinely reliable when it is laid properly. The reputation comes from bad installs, not the material.

Our work

Flat roofs we have laid

GRP, EPDM and torch-on felt on extensions and garages.

Cost

What does a flat roof cost?

Price follows the area, the system you choose, how much of the deck needs replacing, and access. A single garage in felt and a large wrap-around extension in GRP with three rooflights are not comparable jobs.

The variable that catches people out is the deck. We cannot see it until the old covering is off, so we quote the covering and tell you the rate for board replacement up front, rather than discovering a number on the day.

We will come out, look at it properly and give you a fixed price in writing.

I’m very happy with the service I received. The lock on the mailbox for my apartment had stopped working, and the relevant team responded very quickly and arranged for it to be replaced. The new lock was fitted promptly, and I was provided with the new keys. The person who carried out the work was extremely polite, professional, and helpful throughout. I really appreciate the quick response and the excellent service. Thank you to the whole team for making the process so easy and efficient. Highly recommended!

Needed leak repairs gutter and roof, contacted WD Property Maintenance they came out next day to quote and completed the works almost immediately at a day and time to suit me. They used a cherry picker saving loads of hassle as no scaffolding, traffic lights permission and pavement re route neeeded as property1is very close the highway. Service was excellent completed quickly and efficiently despite being an awkward job Highly recommend

We had WD Property Maintenance come out and clean our gutters, solar panels, and put up some anti-nesting wire. While he was on the roof he also spotted some erosion with our chimney stack and fixed it for us. He took before and after pictures so we could clearly see the work which had been done. We're really happy with the work, team were professional, quick and reasonably priced. Would recommend and would have back again for any further works needed in the future.

William and his team were of the highest quality. The work they carried out was incredibly quick, professional, and very tidy (in what is clearly a messy job). The house looks brand new and I couldn't recommend them more highly. The cost was incredibly competitive as well. 10/10. They even carried out extra little bits at a moments notice and without surcharging extras. The after and before pictures speak for themselves.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Which system should I pick?

If you will walk on it, GRP. If it is a garage or extension you will never stand on, EPDM is excellent value. Felt is the budget option and is fine when laid properly.

How long will it last?

Twenty years plus for GRP and EPDM if the falls are right. Felt, fifteen to twenty. Bad falls will kill any of them early, which is why we firr the deck.

Why does water sit on my flat roof?

Because the falls are wrong or the roof has sagged. Recovering it without fixing the falls just moves the problem along a few years.

Can you fit rooflights at the same time?

Yes, and it is much cheaper doing it while the roof is open than going back later.

Can you repair rather than replace?

Sometimes. If the deck is sound and the damage is localised, a repair is worth doing. If the covering has reached the end of its life, patching it is throwing money away.

Do you need scaffolding, and is it included?

Anything beyond a small repair within safe ladder reach needs scaffold or a tower. Where it is needed it is included in the quoted price, not added later.
