They sit over kitchen extensions, garages, porches, dormers and bay windows, and because water drains off them slowly, small faults show up as leaks much sooner than on a pitched roof. When a flat roof starts pooling, blistering or splitting, replacing it properly is usually the best fix. East View Roofing fits new flat roofs across County Durham, including Durham city and the surrounding villages. We fit both traditional felt roofing systems and EPDM rubber roofing systems, and every new flat roof comes with a 10-year guarantee. After a free inspection, Luke will explain which system suits your roof, why, and what it will cost, in a clear written quote. There is no obligation and no pressure to go ahead. What happens if it's left ## Flat Roof Problems We See in Durham These are the most common reasons people call us about a flat roof. ### Ponding water Water that sits on the roof after rain speeds up wear and finds its way into any weak spot. ### Blisters and splits Older felt blisters in the sun and splits in the cold, especially around edges and joints. ### Failed edges and upstands Where the roof meets a wall or the edge trim, failed detailing is a common leak point. ### Soft or spongy decking If the roof feels soft underfoot, water may have reached the boards underneath. ### Leaks into extensions and garages Damp patches on ceilings below a flat roof are usually the first sign something has failed. ### Flat roof mistakes to avoid - Laying a new covering over a rotten deck. - Painting over cracks with coatings instead of fixing the cause. - Poor detailing at walls, edges and outlets. - Choosing a system without considering how the roof is used and drained.

Book a Free InspectionFully insured · City & Guilds qualified In detail ## Felt or EPDM Rubber: Choosing a Flat Roof in Durham Both systems can give you a reliable, long-lasting flat roof when they are fitted properly. ### Felt flat roofs Modern felt roofing systems are built up in layers, giving a tough, proven finish that suits many extensions, garages and bays. Felt handles detailing around upstands and outlets well, and is a familiar, cost-effective choice. ### EPDM rubber roofs EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane that can often be laid as a single sheet on smaller roofs, meaning fewer joints. It stays flexible in cold weather and gives a clean, neat finish. ### Cost and payment New flat roofs start from £1,000. The final price depends on the size of the roof, its condition and access. A 50% booking fee secures your job, with the balance due on completion. ### Getting the detailing right Most flat roof leaks don't start in the middle of the roof. They start at the edges, at upstands where the roof meets a wall, around outlets and at joints. These details take the most care to get right, and we treat them as the most important part of the job rather than an afterthought. Drainage matters too. A flat roof still needs a slight fall so water runs off towards a gutter or outlet rather than sitting on the surface. Where an existing roof has been laid without enough fall, we will explain how this can be improved when the roof is replaced. ### Checking the deck underneath The covering is only as good as the boards it sits on. When we strip an old flat roof, we check the decking for soft or rotten areas and replace any that are damaged before the new roof goes on. Laying a new covering over a rotten deck is one of the most common reasons new flat roofs fail early. ### Flat roofs on Durham extensions and garages Across Durham we see many flat roofs over single-storey kitchen extensions, attached garages and rear offshoots on terraced homes. These roofs are often decades old and were sometimes laid with a single layer of felt. Replacing them with a modern felt system or EPDM rubber gives a far more durable finish, backed by our 10-year guarantee, and protects the rooms beneath. ### Repair or replace? A small split or lifted edge on an otherwise sound roof can often be repaired. If the covering is blistered, ponding and leaking in several places, replacement is usually better value. After the inspection we will tell you honestly which option makes more sense for your Durham property, and roof repairs start from £150 if a repair is all you need.
