Flat roofing with Coburn Roofing

Coburn Roofing installs and replaces flat roofs across Nottingham, Derby and Mansfield using EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass systems. These modern, seamless coverings last far longer than traditional felt - typically 25-40+ years - and are ideal for extensions, garages, dormers, porches and outbuildings.

Old bitumen felt flat roofs crack, blister and split as they age, and once water gets in it spreads fast. Modern flat-roof systems solve that with a single, seamless membrane and no felt laps to fail.

We fit EPDM rubber - a tough, single-piece membrane that flexes with the building - and GRP fibreglass, a hard-wearing resin finish that’s ideal for balconies and areas that take foot traffic. Both come with proper edge trims and outlets for a clean, permanent finish.

What’s included

  • EPDM rubber flat roofs (single-ply, seamless)
  • GRP fibreglass flat roofs and balconies
  • Full strip-off and re-deck where boards have rotted
  • New insulation to build a warm roof where required
  • New trims, drips and outlets for proper drainage
  • Flat-roof repairs and overlays where suitable

FAQs

Flat roofing - your questions answered

How long does an EPDM rubber roof last?

A properly installed EPDM roof typically lasts 30-50 years. It’s UV-stable, flexible in cold weather and has no seams across the main area, which is where old felt roofs usually fail.

EPDM or GRP fibreglass - which is better?

Both are excellent. EPDM is flexible and ideal for larger, simple flat roofs; GRP gives a harder, walk-on finish that suits balconies and dormers. We’ll recommend the right one for your roof.

Can you insulate my flat roof at the same time?

Yes. When we strip and re-deck a flat roof we can build it up as a warm roof with insulation, which cuts heat loss and helps prevent condensation.
