Flat Roof Specialists for Reading Homes and Businesses
Wise Roofing has installed and repaired hundreds of flat roofs across Reading and Berkshire over the past 25 years — on garages, single-storey extensions, dormers, balconies and full commercial roofs. We are equally comfortable with traditional felt flat roofs and with modern systems such as GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and Sealoflex / Armourplan single-ply membrane.
Flat Roof Systems We Install in Reading
- GRP fibreglass flat roofs — seamless, 25+ year lifespan, ideal for domestic extensions and garages.
- EPDM rubber flat roofs — single-membrane synthetic rubber, fitted in one piece on most domestic roofs.
- Single-ply membrane (Sealoflex, Armourplan) — for larger flat roofs and commercial use.
- High-performance torch-on felt — a cost-effective traditional system.
- Hot-melt and asphalt roofing for larger commercial flat roofs.
Flat Roof Repairs in Reading
Failing flat roofs rarely fail evenly — most leaks come from a single split, a blown patch or a failed upstand. Where possible we will patch-repair to extend the life of an existing flat roof; where the substrate is wet or the covering is at the end of its life, a full re-cover is more economical long-term. Either way we will tell you honestly which option makes sense for your roof.
How Long Does a Flat Roof Last?
It depends on the system. A well-installed GRP fibreglass flat roof should last 25–30 years. EPDM rubber typically lasts 25–50 years depending on grade. Single-ply membranes are rated for 25+ years. Modern torch-on felt should give 15–20 years. All of our flat roof installations in Reading come with a 10-year written guarantee.
