Is it time?
Small splits can often be repaired. These are the signs the whole roof is near the end — we’ll tell you honestly which one you need.
Water sitting on the roof for days after rain wears the covering out fast, and usually means the deck underneath has dipped.
Bubbles and cracks in felt, or seams lifting at the edges, let water get underneath where you can’t see it.
A stain under a flat roof means water is already getting through. The sooner it’s looked at, the less damage to the deck.
If the roof gives when you step on it, the boards underneath have probably taken on water and need replacing.
Your options
Five main systems. Each card says what it’s best for, so you don’t need the trade terms. Every one can be built as an insulated warm roof.
Best for: Extensions, garages and dormers where you want a long life with little upkeep.
One large sheet of tough synthetic rubber, so there are almost no joins for water to find.
Best for: Roofs you walk on or look down on, and roofs with lanterns or awkward shapes.
Layers of glass-fibre and resin that set into one hard, seamless shell, finished in a colour coat.
Best for: Best value for garages, outbuildings and larger flat roofs.
Modern multi-layer felt, heat-bonded in place — far tougher than the old felt people remember.
Best for: Large and commercial flat roofs, balconies and roof terraces.
A thin, strong plastic membrane with heat-welded seams, quick to lay over big areas.
Best for: Period homes, dormers, bays and small roofs where the traditional look matters.
Hand-formed sheet lead, dressed and welded on site — the classic finish that lasts for generations.
What you get
Every flat roof quote covers the layers underneath, not just the covering on top.
Laying a new covering straight over the old one is quicker and cheaper, but it hides any wet or rotten deck underneath. Ask any roofer whether their price includes stripping back to the deck.
How it works
Four steps, and you know what’s happening at every one of them.
We look at the roof, the deck and the ceiling underneath, and talk you through the systems that suit it.
An itemised price for the system you choose, including whether it’s built as a warm roof and any guarantee terms.
Old covering off, deck repaired or replaced, insulation and the new covering laid, then trims and edges finished.
Outlets, edges and upstands checked, the site cleared, and any guarantee paperwork handed over.
Our guarantee
Qualifying new roof systems come with a guarantee of up to 25 years on workmanship and materials, depending on the system. The exact length and terms for your job are written into your quote before you agree to anything. We only guarantee full new systems: a repair fixes one part of an older roof, so we tell you plainly what it will and won’t do.

FAQs
EPDM rubber suits most extensions and garages, GRP fibreglass suits roofs you walk on or roofs with lanterns, torch-on felt is the best value, and single ply suits large roofs. Which one is best depends on the roof, so District Roofing recommends one at the free survey and explains why.
A warm roof has its insulation on top of the deck, under the waterproof covering, so the timbers stay warm and dry and condensation is far less likely. A cold roof has its insulation between the joists and needs ventilating. Every flat roof system we fit can be built as a warm roof.
A rubber roof is an EPDM roof: one large sheet of synthetic rubber bonded to the deck, with very few joins. It suits extensions, garages and dormers and needs very little upkeep.
Often, yes. If the deck is sound and the damage is in one place, a repair can be the sensible choice. If the covering has failed in several places or the deck is wet, a new roof is usually better value. We tell you honestly which one you need.
Your written quote includes a start date and how long the job should take. The time on site depends on the size of the roof, the system and the weather.
Yes, when it is a full new roof system. Qualifying new flat roofs come with a guarantee of up to 25 years on workmanship and materials, depending on the system used. The exact length and terms are set out in your written quote.
